I had sex around 2 months ago, and my period came but im still worried

Unread post by im_0n_crack »

I had sex around 2 months ago, few days after sex I took morning after pills, and towards the end I had a late period, it came at last. We didnt worry for awhile, because my period, after the period we didnt do any intercourse, and i took a pregnancy test which came out negative. But now i think my period is skipping, its been around 8 days since when my period was supposed to come. I am just really skeptical because of the skipped period. (thinking logically theres no way of pregnancy, but its because of the skipped period that is making me panic.)

Hi there.

Since you feel so nervous about this, and the last pregnancy test seemed to reassure you, sounds like you might benefit from taking one again. Can you do that for yourself?

Periods can skip or be later than expected more than people realize, and more often than not due to things besides pregnancy. But if you'd feel better seeing another negative result, I'd suggest just doing that.

Hi there!

Like Heather said, I think that taking another test will give some reassurance. It seems unlikely but I think seeing the test result can be helpful. It also sounds like this might be giving you some anxiety. Would it help to share some resources around managing pregnancy anxiety?
