im still flipping out

hi guys. im really struggling today. i keep feeling movements like fluttering, pulses, twitches, and kick like movements. i had an ultrasound, external and transvaginal, blood test i had a seizure from, and multiple negative urine tests. im freaking out that im pregnant. my bf and i broke up for a period of time and we both slept with other people and im afraid im pregnant and its someone elses baby. i got my ultrasound when i was on a period, if that even was my period, and i dont know if that affects anything. the movements are driving me crazy and i want to rip my skin off, im so scared and panicked. i want to live a happy life with my boyfriend but am so scared that ill have that taken away from me if i pop out with a random baby in july or august. im so terrified. do you all think im pregnant or just being ocd? im about to cry because i just cant do this. im so scared and triggered. i have no one to talk to.

i’m sorry you’re going through this. i had a similar, not the same experience but similar. years ago i convinced myself i was pregnant, despite about 20+ negative home tests in a week, a negative test at the doctors, and negative ultrasound. i actually convinced myself one of those tests had a faint line and set myself over the edge. you’re not alone

Can I ask how did this turn out for you? Pregnant or not?? I’m experiencing the fluttering and am pretty freaked by it. It only happens at night. Just wish I could stop worrying :/

hi! First off, I hope you’re doing okay! assuming from the multiple tests you’ve had performed that reassurance has not been enough for you and has only made it worse , like it usually will. Ocd will try and mimic literally anything if you’re absolutely terrified of it. Yesterday I saw few dead flea like bugs in a vintage vase at a store and I convinced myself I had fleas and my scalp and body began to itch.

I had this same thing happen to me when I was a teenager; I was paranoid that I was pregnant, even though I’d never had sex! OCD is wild and can convince us of so many things, no matter how ridiculous they may seem. However, the only way to fight back is by not engaging in compulsions and accepting uncertainty. Maybe you are pregnant, maybe you’re not. Give NOCD a call for their free consultation. I think they could really help you!

@Amber R this was soooooo not helpful 😭 this made my ocd way worse with the maybe yourself pregnant maybe you’re not, why would you say that😭

@erinnicole Accepting uncertainty and allowing the discomfort to be there is how you stop engaging with the OCD. Constantly seeking reassurance about whether or not you are pregnant only keeps you locked in OCD’s cycle; it might make you feel better for a minute, but then your OCD will find another way to make you doubt yourself and you’ll be asking for reassurance again.

i’m having a really bad night. my most common obsession is reoccurring and it is fear that i am pregnant even though i am a virgin. i will overanalyze even the smallest symptoms and used to go as far as searching the internet of symptoms for hours, calling the same hotline over and over to say my specific situation to which at one point they requested i not call because it was for people with a real risk, and i have also bought multiple pregnancy tests in the past. others think i’m crazy and now i’ve been diagnosed with OCD i understand why i get like this but cannot seem to see if my zoloft is working. with my other obsessions (i have a mix of pretty much every sub category of OCD) i don’t even know where they trigger from. my heart is racing and i feel like im terrified but have to hide it around others.

Pregnancy Scare?

I need a place to write this out. 18+ only I’m having a pregnancy scare even though there was no P in V action. I’m worried semen might’ve accidentally gotten on my boyfriend’s hand. I know he did not touch himself. I was 1 day outside of my fertile window according to my cycle tracking when the non P in V sexual encounter occurred. I started having very minor left ovary pain 6 days before my period, along with some GI issues. There was flecks (like seriously 2 tiny SPECKS) of blood when I wiped 4 days before my period I’ve never noticed this before my period before. I had my period on time and regular. But I read that girls can mistake implantation bleeding for their period so I started to worry. I took a pregnancy test 3 days after my period ended and it was negative. My left ovary pain is still present the same as it was before my period, but now it’s coupled with minor lower back pain and GI issues. I keep worrying about being pregnant and that I took my pregnancy test wrong. I keep googling symptoms and quizzes trying to see how I compare. I don’t want to take another pregnancy test because I know how this loop works but I can’t stop overthinking.
