Anxiety need help

Unread post by Skns42 »

Hello
I did fingering and dry humping with clothes on with my partner on the 7th. Although I know it is almost impossible to cause pregnancy, I continued to experience fear until my partner took a pregnancy test 14 days and 30 days after the incident. The results of both tests were negative but until now she has missed her period by 4 days and has not had her period yet. Can I trust both test results above? Is there any way to overcome my fear and anxiety? I have read the article you posted and have visited a psychologist but this fear still haunts me.
Thankyou 🙏

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

You mentioned wanting to get to the bottom of the anxiety you know is irrational. We've made a new thread to talk about that with you here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12341
