I admit it. I'm the girlfriend every man is terrified of. I'm constantly convinced I'm pregnant. Even though I'm on the pill and take it religiously. Even though we use condoms correctly. If my period is a day late, I suspect the worse and drive him (and myself) insane. I've always got a stock of pregnancy tests... just in case.

But when there is a reason to worry (missed a few pills, no condom) he (the boyfriend) never seems phased because he assumes I'm crazy again. While I, on the other hand, decide it's time to start ripping out my own hair (Not literally. Not yet anyway).

Am I alone in my insanity?

I can't be the only one.

*sigh*

I'm always paranoid that I'm pregnant. I use the fertility awareness method so I know my exact fertile days and use condoms or just not have sex during those days. If my period is so much as a few hours late I start freaking out.

My partner is like that. We track my cycle and whenever I'm due he asks every time I go to the bathroom - is it here yet? My last cycle was four days longer than usual (stress) and I thought the poor boy was going to have an anurism.

If your cycle isn't completely regular set a a good chunk of worry free time aside. My cycle varies between 22 and 26 days so I tell myself not to worry until day 30.

i think it would drive me *nuts* if someone kept asking me that. :P

Yes, it does sometimes, but I find it more funny/sweet than anything else.

My cycle can vary up to two or three days, especially if I've got a lot of stress in my life, and worrying if you're pregnant is one of the ways you stress your body out so it does become late. If you take your pill religiously and use an additional fail safe method like condoms or non9 then you should trust your meds and relax a bit. After being on the pill for 7 years I know now that it's best not to fret too too much.

I used to be and still am. It doesnt drive me bonkers like it used to, but there is still always that "what if" lingering back there, so I'm always relieved to see my period even though I'm on BC and am good about taking it and we use a condom every time anyway.

I'm a virgin, but if I were having sex, I KNOW I would be the exact same way. That's probably at least PART of the reason I don't have sex, I know I would freak out too much! Anyway, you definitely aren't alone.

i used to be that way.
but now i know my period isn't always going to come that first day. i don't stress, and it comes as planned, and everything is wonderful.
it's also comforting that i know my options were my period not to come.
so no worries.

my period has never really been regular, so I'm always wondering. I drove my bf and myself nuts for a few months after we started having sex (he was my first) until I realized that stress I was putting on myself was causing my weird periods, not pregnancy. Oh and your sn makes me smile. :)

Well, I've had sex regulary for two and a half years and I still worry about it if my periods don't start right away when I expect them to. :) I used to be horribly paranoid about it when we had just started having sex. I'm on the pill and they have worked fine so far but I totally managed to ruin one summer night for him because of my paranoia: We had arranged some special time for ourselves and had his house all to ourselves. We went to get some fast food and watched movies etc. and when I went to take my pill I looked at the disk and realised I hadn't taken yesterday's pill. So I panic and ask him to drive to the clinic to get those "regret" pills and he took this silly little moped and drove with it to the central city (he didn't have a driver's license back then, here you can get one when you turn 18) but we forgot that since it was a special holiday the clinic wasn't open... So his trip was in vain and it was cold and rainy outside too. :( I was terrfified th rest of the evening and he was really sweet trying to make me take off my mind from it and then later he decides to loko at the pills disk again and tells me that I actually hadn't forgoten the pill, I had just taken yesterday's pill from the wrong head of the disk. :P Duh! I felt so stupid because of it but we were still happy that I wasn't actually pregnant. So, I guess the point of this story would be that you are not the only one who might make your boyfriend crazy with your pregnancy paranoia. :P

I think when i start having sex im going to be like that.

I'm totally like that and THAT, right there, is the reason why I have no interest in Seasonale... because everytime I get my period I'm so relieved, and wouldn't have that extra relief if I wasn't getting my period.
