Hi Jambo, We ask that users not come to us to ask us to explain why our answer differs from an answer elsewhere, as we can't know why they give the answer they do (although the daily mail is known for having certain bias that could affect their reporting on issues like sex). All we can say is that o...

Okay, these readings sound like they'd be a good place to start.

Yes, if you're feeling like you need in person sex education, they are a good place to start.

If you feel you didn't wait long enough and the test directions do not offer guidelines, then you may want to retest after that 14 day period, if you think doing so would help you feel at ease.

Hi Jambo,

Planned Parenthood and other clinics or organizations that offer comprehensive sex education are generally reliable. And if you talk to someone who is specifically a sex educator, they should be used to keeping their information up to date and accessible.

I recommend reading the directions for the specific test you took (if you threw away the box, you might be able to find them online). If they say that you should wait fourteen days after the incident to test, then you may have to retest in a few days.

Hi Wildprincess,

As long as you took the test according to the directions, you should assume you can trust the result. You can read more about that here: Peeing on a Stick: All About Pregnancy Tests

There's a decent chance that there would be a youtube tutorial to help you make that one (there are youtube tutorials on seemingly everything).

Hi Princessanxiety, You can read about the different types of discharge and what they usually mean here: Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions Too, even if you have not previously spotted before your period, our bodies are not machines and sometimes they have things like new side effec...

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 loc...

Which items are you thinking you'd make yourself?

You're welcome!

If you're in school, you could start by asking a school nurse or counselor for resources you could look into. You could also look for local health clinics that offer mental health services. And, if you have a doctor you see regularly, you could ask them for advice or a referral.

Hi Jambo,

If you want to manage your anxiety, you'll want to find a counselor or therapist who can help you work on it and develop tools to manage it. Do you know of resources like that in the area where you live?

That would be the place to look, although you may want to come up with a plan ahead of time for ways to prevent your grandmother or mom from discovering them.

If you have a hemorrhage in your eye that you're concerned about, that is something to see a healthcare provider about (especially if it is accompanied by pain).

Are the items things you could get at more general stores? Or are they specific to fetish or sex toy stores?

Yes, that is correct.

We have already given you that information in previous posts, including in links we've given you, so I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread.

Hi stlyogi9, That sounds like a really stressful situation. From what you've described, if your message to him was a warning that your account had been hacked and that someone might try to contact him who wasn't you, he'd have a hard time convincing anyone that this was harassment on your part. Did ...

Of the things in that article, are there ones that felt like they resonated with you?

You're correct. As for your other question, that's addressed in some of the articles we've given you previously, and reiterating it here is only going to feed the anxiety loop. So I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread. If you have questions about other topics, you're welcome to create a new thr...

Having a period that's a few days late is actually pretty common, because we can experience little irregularities in our cycles. You can read more about that here: M.I.A or, Dude, Where's My Period?

Hi naturalways,

One of the more common side effects of the morning after pill is that it can throw off someone's cycle for a little while, so that's possibly what is happening here with her period coming early.

Does the Flo app track things like cervical mucus and body temperature?

Hi Gurl93,

This article is full of self-care ideas that you can use to get you through the next few days, and taking the pregnancy test is also a form of self-care, because it's going to help you move past the anxiety you've been feeling: Self-Care a La Carte
