completely illogical fear of pregnancy

Jul 18, 2005 02:19

Ever since my abortion about 5 years ago I have had this illogical fear of getting pregnant. Even if I've been taking the pill or had just gotten my period, or even if I haven't had sex in a while, I am still petrified. As if I got pregnant again,...I would just die. Does anyone else get this way? Or am i just totally nuts?

I'm totally afraid of getting pregnant again. It's gone so far as to majorly interfere with my sex life. It hasn't even been a year since my abortion, and I've had therapy, but I just can't shake the fear.

I do. Because it was really a rough time for me. I didn't think that I could put myself through the same situation again. I was depressed and fucked up afor a lot of reasons. But, I kinda realized that if I have to put myself through it again. I can, and I will.

it hasn't even been 3 weeks since my abortion and i already have a bit of that fear but, maybe i'm odd 'cause i know if something fucked up and i ended up pregnant, i'd do it all over again.

not to such extent, but I take extra (unnecessary, probably) care. for almost 6 years since my abortion i asked my husband to use condom if we had sex during my 7 day pill break. I stopped doing that just recently.

but i watch carefully if i had stomack upset which could minimize pill effect, so rubber jonny is always near! %)

I get exactly the same. ive charged into family planning many times demanding they give me a pregnancy test because im so scared of being pregnant. Even when theres just no risk at all...
