I totally get that! I recently got an IUD and had unprotected sex one time. Even though I knew the chances of IUD failure are very low, I totally gave into the compulsion. Went out and bought a pregnancy test (AFTER I got my period, which by itself should have been proof enough that I'm not pregnant) but it's like I didn't trust my body. The two pregnancy tests were negative, of course. It's actually not uncommon for women with IUD to be paranoid about pregnancy, since the IUD can make your period stop. But if you're using both IUD and condoms, you're being very safe.
Same exact thing happened to me. We had unprotected sex about 2 times and that was a long time ago. But when we had sex with a comdom I got so paranoid because I started feelings things, so I went to get a test and it came out negative. I’m the one who/who is going to initiate whether to have sex without a condom, but it’s still scary even when I don’t have thoughts at the time!
@bubbless Yeah I regret not using a condom. It was my first time so I wasn't sure when exactly he was supposed to put the condom on, and he never did. I didn't get pregnant, but I got BV and I'm still dealing with yeast infections 2 months later. I later found out he's been seeing other women. I already got negative tests for STDs but I wanna go get tested again cause I feel like something is wrong. I feel like I'm being punished for having sex 😔
@sugarfiend07 Whoops sorry forgot to tag, but I responded:)
You got this!
We believe in you!
Oh love I am so sorry!! I just want to let you know that having sex should not result in feeling like you’re being punished. Yes it’s the thoughts, but don’t ever feel ashamed for doing something that is natural. I’m also sorry about that jerk. You deserve so much better. But eventually his karma will come. I also had to deal with having my bf get tested. It turned into me having to negotiate with him which made my ROCD skyrocket. But eventually, after three long conversations + one with his dad, he realized how dumb he was being. He has yet to be tested cause of covid but I’m just glad he’s in the process now.
Thanks for the encouraging message! Yeah it was a semi-casual long distance thing, it got messy. I'm never doing long distance or casual again, I can't handle that lol. Gonna book a gynecologist appointment for my IUD followup and see what the doctor says. Hope everything turns out ok for you and your bf!! Relationships are hard enough without OCD
@sugarfiend07 You’re absolutely right. They are hard regardless I know that now. But I’m just glad that we continued our friendship throughout our relationship because it can’t just be about sex and being with someone you know? And that’s great!!! I’m glad your getting a follow up, I hope things go well. You’ll find a great person to share your life with, and they’ll be lucky to have you. :)
Guys I neeed someone to talk to like now it's been about 8 days since I lost my virginity but I'm so fucking paranoid about being pregnant and I don't feel pregnant but I just am so convinced and I don't know it's OCD or if I am but I don't think i can deal with this I don't wanna have an abortion and if I do I'm not gonna be able to tell my parents I'll have to do it alone and my life's a mess
I’m really trying hard not to google a symptom. I’m afraid I may have caught something from someone and I want to Google at what point after exposure do physical symptoms appear. I think that by doing this I’ll find out that I’m in the clear and be able to move forward. I know this must be a compulsion right? It’s seeking reassurance? So I’m trying not to do it But I’m just sick of overanalyzing my body and wondering if what I’m feeling is a symptom or not
My girlfriend and I had sex a about 10 days ago. She is not on birth control, I wore a condom but in the moment I put it on the wrong way at first and then switched it around. I’m terrified that I got her pregnant from precum. I’ve been absolutely obsessing about the possibility of it happening. From what I read it’s extremely low possibly, but OCD is saying she is pregnant. I cannot shut my brain off. I love my girlfriend more than anything and was going to propose to her later this year. I just keep thinking if she is pregnant will I be able to provide, even though I have a steady great income job and so does she. I think will my OCD get so bad that I can’t go to work and lose everything. I used to deal with Sexual and harm OCD, and I just keep thinking will this come back and start if I have a kid. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone
