Worried if I’m pregnant or not

Unread post by Shelly »

So I have recently lost my virginity
It’s been a 8 days since that night and yesterday I have experienced some spotting and it has been like this for two days now I don’t have any other symptoms like nausea or bloating or tender breast cramps etc none of that but I am stressing so much whether or not I am pregnant we did use protection and I’m due to get my period in 4 days. Do you think I could possibly be pregnant as I have spotting or could the spotting just be from stress? Or could the spotting be from having sex for the first time but would it be normal to bleed 7 days after sex then or I’d this mainly from stress??
( I have never had spotting before either this would be the first time) should I be worried??
If I miss my period I will definitely take a test but do you think the spotting is definitely a sign of pregnancy? Please really need advice on this because I don’t know how to feel or what to do

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
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• 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

For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
