Pregnancy scare or severe anxiety

[bluelagoon12]

In the beginning of December I had sex, but the condom broke. I am currently on birth control but i was extremely freaked out so I took a plan B pill. I also got my period at my schedule time 2 weeks later but it was a few days late. Now over a month later I am convinced I’m pregnant even though I have taken 2 pregnancy test that were negative. I have been having abdominal cramping, back pain, headaches, and loss of appetite. All of these symptoms are also related to severe stress which is what i have. I keep thinking about this from right when I wake up to when I go to sleep. I think I am worrying myself sick and I have no one to talk to. I keep reading online about girls who get false negatives. Do you think I am okay?

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity

• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

I’m sorry. I just feel extremely lost and I am looking for some kind of comfort or support i guess.

Hi bluelagoon,

If you find anxiety is something you often deal with, you are more than welcome to start another thread where we can talk about strategies for dealing with that and offer you support in finding a counselor. We just won't talk about your pregnancy scare with you. If you want more info about why that it is, you can read our explanation of our policy here:
