I went through something similar—lasted about a year before it just... faded away on its own.
I’d find myself checking if the front door was locked or unlocked maybe 20 times in a single sitting.
Same with the lights—checking over and over if they were actually turned off.
It’s a terrible feeling... you just can't convince yourself otherwise, no matter what.
But it vanished eventually, just by itself.
It stopped once I hit my early teens.

I remember watching a documentary about it on cable—the whole therapy approach was basically telling you to keep your hands dirty (for those of us who wash them constantly) and essentially endure nervous breakdowns because your hands felt "unclean." You have to push through until you finally stop caring. It's intense... requires constant supervision, much like rehab for an addict.

It can be late—especially if you're worried about pregnancy, particularly if you're just starting out sexually. Honestly, go see a doctor at Mayo Clinic to get on the pill... you're going to lose your mind from the anxiety this way. Save your nerves while you're still young. I nearly lost it myself once when my period was a month late. Are you sure they were actually regular before? Or have you just started tracking more closely since you started having sex?

a sorry, I see you're heading over to the chat with the Smiths. Good luck—you'll find out soon enough it’s really no big deal...😉

Honestly, I have no clue—it might just be a hormonal thing. If you’ve been on birth control for a long time, your body might still be adjusting... or it could just be some random inflammation. When my period was a month late once, I dealt with these nagging ovarian pains that lasted for about a month straight. They’d flare up and then fade out, just lingering for weeks. Everything is fine with me now, though—I went in for a checkup. It was likely just a hormonal imbalance from being on the pill or maybe just the stress of traveling. It’ll work itself out. Just go see your doctor... if you can swing it, book a private ultrasound. You can usually get seen the same day, which would help ease your mind since I know exactly how much this sucks.

Maybe you were ovulating—that could explain the sharp pains in your ovaries. I get those same twinges during ovulation, plus my libido goes through the roof... If you want to check, take your temperature orally; if it hits 36.8 or higher, you likely ovulated and that's your answer. Ever since I stopped taking birth control, I can feel every single ovulation cycle like this. As for that white discharge, it might be an infection—it happens to plenty of women...

And there was zero reason for it—first time ever she's been late on me, and I nearly lost my mind...😲

Don't sweat it—you’re fine. You aren't pregnant, I'm certain of it. I went through that exact same spiral of paranoia once... just a string of negative tests while I waited... and that was for a full month. Yeah, my period was a month late...
