Stress and Periods
Here's the thing. My periods are irregular, but the past two months they were the same date. Usually they are between 1-3 days early or late. I only had sex once with my fiance the day after my period ended, almost 8 days before my earliest ovulation date based on my 31 day cycle. We had protected sex, but we didn't use a condom until about 30 seconds into it. I've been looking for a new job since January, and had an interview the week I was supposed to be ovulating. So I'm really hoping the stress messed up my periods.
Now the thing is, this kind of stuff scares me horribly. It just seems like something like this would happen to me; getting pregnant even using a condom. Since I know you can get pregnant almost anytime. I'm worried he leaked a little or something....This has already happened to me once, though the pregnancy ended. So I feel so traumatized about getting pregnant not only do I hate sex, but if I don't experience my usual pms I worry I'm pregnant.
...I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice, or just a way to just talk about this. I'm sure I'm fine, but I'm so stressed out about it thinking about it isn't doing me any good, you know? I know I worry too much and I'm making myself stressed over nothing, but there's always that small chance, and it just seems like something like that would happen to me. x.x
There's always a small chance for pregnancy, no matter how many protection methods we use. However, the more methods you use the more unlikely it is it will happen. For example, you are right to be a little bit concerned about the last time you had sex, since condoms being on right away adds to being protected, even though it's statistically unlikely you are pregnant from this. Try to use as many methods as possible, discuss it with your doctor so you will find the best methods for you to keep your mind at ease.
This also depends on the relationship you have with your fiance. Discussing it with him might make you feel more secure, in the sense of: if you get pregnant he'll support you no matter what you choose. It's important to know that your partner will be there for you if this happens and won't want to have the child when you won't.
