Anxiety Attack (Pregnancy Scare)
Some background story:
The last time I had sex (protected) was 3 months ago (beginning of November). After that, I had anxiety and stress about being pregnant - I took 4 Urine pregnancy test within a span of 1 month (November to December) and it all turned out negative. I took another pregnancy test on 20th Jan 2024 and it was also negative. I had 3 periods since my last sex ( periods - 5 days ish, first 2 days required pad changing 3 times and bleeding with clots and what looks like tissue ). All signs point to me not being pregnant. but I still get paranoid and anxious. EVERYTIME I notice something about my body (*** being sore on and off, bloat during period, linea nigra line (probably have had it since forever), vivid dreams), I associate it all to pregnancy symptoms. AND I GET SUPER ANXIOUS and scared and worried because I do not want to be pregnant.
But I have had 5 negative urine tests and 3 periods since then so I am not pregnant, right? I do not know why I am so so so scared and anxious, please advice

@Tinywhisper11 thank you for the reassurance ❤️ yes, I feel like I am suddenly noticing every change in my body and chalking it up to that.. my emotional side is like taking control
@worriedlion hugs you tightly ❤❤ it's gonna be ok ❤
@worriedlion I'm sorry to hear that these anxieties are taking a toll on you. It must be challenging to navigate these feelings. Reassuringly, the evidence from your tests and the regularity of your periods strongly indicate that you are not pregnant.
Sometimes, anxiety can create a heightened awareness of bodily sensations, leading to concerns. It might be helpful to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide reassurance and discuss strategies for managing anxiety.
You've taken responsible steps to assess your situation, and it's completely okay to seek additional reassurance and support. If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you. Take care.
@Mya000 Thank you very much for the reassurance!
