I'm a week late, I just took a negative pregnancy test this morning, and there is no reason I should be pregnant. I am on birth control (I missed 3 pills last month, not in a row, and took them the following day), Jordan used condoms (every. single. time), and I am so paranoid that I make him inspect them afterward (to assure there's no breaks of course!).
I called the doctor, because now I'm really worried. What if it was a false negative? But with what I stated above, how the hell could I possibly have a little Jordan or Emma inside me??? I find it impossible. Anyway, the doctor said to take another pregnancy test in a week and to relax because stress will cause it to be late or skipped (so I need to relax. I'm sorry, I don't really understand that concept right now!). If the test is negative in a week, I can assume I'm not pregnant. If I don't get my period next month, I need to go into the doctor's office and possibly get a new birth control pill (mine might be too strong and have caused my periods to stop).
Also, I've drastically changed my diet this past month. Plus, I was working out twice a week, and the past three weeks I've been working out six times a week. These are things (according to some research) that could cause me to have a late or skipped period. Oh, and the nurse I talked to said to continue taking my pills, "They won't hurt the baby."
"Wait, what? The baby?"
"If you are pregnant, that is."
"But chances are I'm not, right?"
"It is highly unlikely, just monitor your body the rest of this month!"
Ugh. I hope I get my period soon and don't have to wait until next month. Even if I'm not pregnant and I skip a period, and everything is fine, I still need that period as reassurance.
Luckily, Jordan is one of my closest friends and the one that I've been sleeping with, so I can be pretty open about it! However, I assume he's annoyed by now. He suggested, "pee on a stick," days ago and I finally did it today.
So, readers, give me ideas of how I can relax instead of constantly stress and worry over being pregnant (since chances are so slim), because I don't understand how it's possible to relax in such a situation!
Oh, and for all the guys that are grossed out and make a stupid face when a girl even mentions she has her period, grow up. You all know it happens, it's a fact of life, and it's not like we describe details of what's happening down there (then you can be grossed out, those things don't need to be shared).
Oh hon, totally understand why you're freaking out, but it sounds really, really unlikely that you are pregnant & much more likely that there's another reason for the lateness. Just try and keep yourself busy and don't think about it. Easier said than done, I know!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Daydream! I need all the reassurance I can get!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Miss Daydream. I've been there before and it sounds as though it's a combo of stress and change on hormones. But then, again I;m no doctor! lol...Just try to relax!
