The first time I had sex, I was worried about it too. Don't worry, it's normal. And if you've had your period and you are taking every precaution possible, then I doubt that you are pregnant. Don't worry about it, your not going crazy haha.

I was the exact same way. I was so paranoid that if I was late for a period before I even started having sex, I was afraid I was pregnant. In fact, I was in the ER the month before I lost my virginity, and they did an ultrasound due to abdominal pain. I was half expecting them to tell me I was pregnant. So once I started having sex it just multiplied that paranoia by like, 10. But you'll eventually calm down, as long as you stay safe.

Thanks guys.
I wound up going to the doctors last night just to ease my mind, and of course the test came out negative. Only now I'm scared the doctor mixed up the urine samples, or that its just too early to tell. I know in the back of my mind I'm not but that doesn't stop me from freaking out.
Mackie, it sounds like we have a lot in common. I have a anxiety disorder which is obviously where this is all coming from, and it gets so bad that I physically make myself sick thinking all this, which only freaks me out more then because I feel sick.
But you calmed down after a while? Because looking towards the future I'm scared I'll always be freaked out now as long as I'm having sex.

I calmed down a little bit, but I still get anxious when I'm expecting my period. I know that as long as I take my birth control correctly I'm safe, so I have to remind myself that all the time. So as long as you use some form of birth control, you should be able to enjoy sex and be able to relax a little bit. And if you're really anxious about it, just use a backup method. You can never be too safe.

oh its good to hear other people worry alot, im the best at worrying thats why im on this site

I finally managed to calm myself down but we'll see how long that lasts. I just started taking the sugar pills last night from my birth control so I'm sure I'll be nervous these next few days.
I know we're doing everything possible to prevent it so that definitely helps.

i know this topic was posted a while ago, but im feeling exactly the same as you are at the moment, so i had to reply. I lost my virginity in febuary this year and ever since i have been worried about being pregnant. I havent had sex since and have had what i find to be normal periods. However, recently i have come across stories of women who didnt know they were pregnant until they were in labour. This really freaks me out and i wonder if im pregnant with out knowing? if i were pregnant, i would be nearly 24 weeks gone. Im not really overweight and don't seem to have a bump, although i have always had a rounded stomach when i don't hold it in. My stomach is still soft though, which comforts me somewhat as isn't a pregnant belly hard? Being stressed about this is making me lose sleep and feel very paranoid and even unwell. Am i overreacting? is there any way that i am pregnant? please give me some advice.
