18, severe pregnancy scare anxiety
Posted , 4 users are following.
i have been struggling for a while now between making myself sick and thinking im pregnant, this is going to be a bit of a lengthy post and i know i may sound ridiculous and stupid but im really scared.
i last had sex 31st october 2019, the person i had sex with used the withdrawl method and im pretty sure there was a few seconds between him pulling out and finishing. in early november i got really bad vertigo, i coudlnt stand up and literally struggled to get up. it was a few days later where my friend mentioned pregnancy and my anxiety consumed me. i went to the doctors around in january with complaints of stomach stretching like pain, just not feeling well, dizziness and constipation. She weighed me and i was my normal weight (around 45kg), she performed a physical exam and found nothing and then ran some labs blood work and a urine sample where i dont know if she was looking for pregnancy but found i was low in folic acid and another vitamin and most likely had some sort of gastro disease like ibs. ive never had low folic acid before but i have ceoliac so it wouldnt be unusual. at this point i would be at around 3 months.
by the way during this i would be getting what i called my normal period, i was bleeding on the 13th and 14th of every month consistently some heavy and some light, but always enough to fill up a tampon. Although, i was still scared that i could of been pregnant from all the horror stories i read.
i do attend therapy and we have discussed this problem but this fear of being pregnant has taken over my life, at this point i would be 30 weeks, im getting stomach cramps, back pain, my boobs are bigger, headaches and i just dont feel like me. i havnt slept properly in so long and end up waking up in the middle of the night in fear that im pregnant and even in labour. ive called pregnancy hotlines, abortion clinics, friends, doctors who have all said its very unlikely im pregnant, ive posted across forums who have reassured me im not and yet i still feel terrified. i took pregnancy tests (5) from around 4 months to 6 months which all came back negative, i was scared they could all be false negatives as my hcg levels would be to high to detect now.
i perform daily checks like standing infront of the mirror to check my stomach, pressing my stomach to see if there are "baby kicks", researching like a crazy woman on the internet about everything.
i end up having panic attacks and crying in hysterics and i hate it all, this has been 7 months of complete agony and im praying for it to all be over.
i just want to know if i could be pregnant,and what to do at this point as i feel like im crumbling apart.
this is feeding my anxiety and depression and if i really was pregnant i would never be able to face my family or live with myself.
please help

Id doubt you are pregnant, but the only way you will put yourself out of this misery is to get an ultrasound.
I got pregnant with my 3rd baby (but 5th pregnancy as i had two early losses before) using withdrawal. Please dont use this method if you do not want to become pregnant, it is not reliable.
Good luck! Make sure to get that ultrasound 😃

though i cant offer much in the way of advice, i can let you know youre not alone. ive convinced myself i was pregnant a number of times to the point where i had symptoms. wasnt pregnant though. if youre that concerned get an ultrasound like the previous reply said, but just wanted to let you know its very likely all of this is in your head. pregnancy tests are very reliable and you have a number of professionals telling you its unlikely. good luck!

Hi Sim, Like the others have said, if you can get a urine or bloodtest, if your Dr is willing...get an ultrasound....home pregnancy tests are very accurate now, you are not pregnant!! You are taking a HUGE risk by not using condoms, you can get pregnant and sexually transmitted diseases, that can cause long term effects!! Guys will tell you all kinds of things like; "it feels better without"...."if you trust/love/care you don't have to use condoms" ...."I can pull out in time"...etc...Its LIES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT....Get on your OWN birth control(heaven forbid you are assaulted) make guys wear protection, its YOUR BODY, YOUR RULES....if THEY cared, they wouldn't put your health(physical/mental) at risk by pregnancy you aren't ready for, or a disease you don't want...PLEASE TAKE THIS ADVICE!! If you want to private message, anytime...Good Luck with your tests, learn some lessons & go back to living your life BEST WISHES💒🎶🌈🍀☮♾🐾💞
