If you aren't pregnant, your period will come, but dwelling on it like this is only going to delay it further and spike your anxiety... it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Isn't there a 24-hour CVS or Walgreens in a nearby city? Just grab the cheapest test tomorrow and take it; if you're late and pregnant, any brand will show you the result. Also, even if you are pregnant, it isn't the end of the world. You might become a mom sooner than you planned, but you'll see in time that you'll find happiness regardless. Prepare yourself for either outcome, though I personally think you aren't pregnant. Regardless, just take the test so you can finally relax. 🙂 Just stay smart and let us know how it goes.
Lily, thank you so much! Your post actually calmed me down more than anything my boyfriend has said over the last two days—and those two days felt like an eternity.
No, there isn't a single pharmacy open! That's why I'm freaking out. 😢(
I know, I know. I need to relax, but how am I supposed to when it's all I can think about? My stomach is literally cramping from the anxiety.
Right now, being a mom is the last thing on my mind. I mean, I'm almost 21, but 🙂
Look, don't jump down my throat immediately—I’m just here hoping for a little bit of reassurance or maybe some kind of pep talk. So, my last period started on June 30th. My cycle is usually a rock-solid four weeks, which means I was expecting it yesterday, July 28th. It hasn't shown up. Over the last eight years, I think it's only been late about five times. We had sex on the 7th, 15th, 20th, and 26th, but based on my math, none of those were my fertile days. We didn't use a condom, but he pulled out, and he keeps telling me there's practically zero chance I'm pregnant, but still... :/ I'm feeling really weird because it's late, and honestly, I'm freaking out because getting pregnant right now is the absolute last thing I want. I've been reading through the threads here, but I don't have any of the typical symptoms. Yesterday, I had to run to the bathroom three times, which is super unusual for me, so maybe that's just the sheer anxiety talking. I'm not feeling that usual pre-period ache, though I did have some sharp pains for maybe two minutes the day before yesterday. Now, I'm just dealing with this intense cramping in my lower abdomen 😢 I know, I know, I need to take a test to be sure, but has anyone dealt with something similar? Maybe someone can help calm me down until I can grab a test tomorrow. (It's Sunday and every pharmacy around here is closed—honestly, it's infuriating!)
Right now, I'm just praying to God that I'm not pregnant, because if I am, I seriously have no idea what I'm going to do.
Help me out 😢
