Personal issue

Unread post by Raven0501 »

Okay....so I'm stressing myself to death because i had sex with my boyfriend on the 10th of October 2018 and now I have this hige fear of becoming pregnant. We didn't use protection. But he did not orgasm or was close to orgasming. The last time he masturbated was the previous day and he had been to the bathroom for a pee numerous times. My period is 3 days late (which is normal...i have been 5 days late in the past or have even missed a period or 2) but i can't help stressing about it. I did some research on pregnancy cramps and spotting and honestly the more i research the more i stress.
Summary of aspects to take into consideration:
My family has a history of endometriosis.
We had sex on the 10th of October and i was scheduled to start ovulating on the 17th of October.
My period was supposed to start on the 31st of October it is now the 3rd of November so i am 3 days late.
He did not orgasm. So no ejaculation was present.
I do not have tender or sore breasts. No vomiting. No spotting. I do have cramps in my lower tummy which could either be pregnancy or period cramps - i get period cramps every time before and during my periods.
I am currently in the middle of my exams so stress is really high.
I am on Cilift (antidepressants) and multivitamins.
I also eat a lot of fruit on a daily basis that are really high in vitamin C and i drink about 7 cups of coffee every day.
I am 18 years old.

Do you think i am pregnant? Do i have anything to worry about and what are my chances of getting pregnant? Please help me to figure out what is going on so that i can stop stressing...

Raven.

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.
