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 😔

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. :)

I don’t know what to do I’ve been seeing this guy for roughly 4-5 months and I like him so much like he could be the one. He was in town for something for most of the time we’ve been seeing each other but he recently moved back to his state which is pretty far away. I’m absolutely terrified that I’m going to accidentally get an STD from somewhere like a toilet seat or the other day after taking the bus home I forgot to wash or sanitize my hands before wiping plus I’ve had coworkers and even my roommate admit that they’ve had chlamydia and one has HSV. I’m terrified that I’ll get something and he’ll think I cheated and we’ve both been hurt like that before and I wouldn’t want to put him through that or have him think that of me. I’ve been trying to not google anything or go to the doctors bc those are my compulsion and reassurance seeking things but nothing is helping it’s to the point I don’t want to use the bathroom or do anything does anyone have any tips to help it’s starting to effect my life I know this isn’t possible but I keep thinking it would just be my luck that I’d the odd one out it does happen to

I know this might sound silly but since I lost my virginity I'm constantly scared I'm pregnant even tho i have my periods. This month I didn't get it and every time a new month starts I say to myself if you don't get your period this month it means ur pregnant. Ps I haven't had any sexual activity for 6 months now and since then I got my periods except February. Also I've spent alot of money on blood test to confirm if I'm pregnant or not and all of them came back negative. Lastly I have bruises on my stomach cause everytime I wake up and I go to bed I press my abdomen hard to see if I can detect any abnormalities which indicate pregnancy. Anyways I'm not sure if this ocd or not since it feels dif that any other themes.

I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
