How do you...

stay sane in thinking you aren't pregnant again(if you aren't TTC) if you haven't gotten AF back yet??  I'm on the mini pill, but still, it's consistently driving me nuts.  I'm always worried that I may be and we are definitely not ready for another yet.  I cannot keep buying HPTs!  DH thinks I have lost my mind, but really, how do those of you who are not actively TTC not constantly worry??

P.S. I am a worrier at heart - can ya tell? :)

Re: How do you...

  • I am on the mirena and have no period anymore. I am so paranoid lol. I just take a dollar store test every so often just to ease my mind.

    If you are certain that you dont want another right now, maybe you could consider going on a more reliable form of birth control to ease your mind as well.

  • Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't. I've only taken one HPT... but there are plenty of times I've been worried! :-)

  • Before we started thinking about TTGP I was constantly paranoid, not getting AF while EBF and not using any BC. Plus I'm just naturally paranoid about everything lol

    I literally took an HPT at the end of every. single. month.

    I have Mirena, so I don't worry.

    However, we have sex fairly infrequently (no desire and it really hurts).

  • I am a worrier too and lately DH and I haven't been as cautious as we should be and I am panicking as we speak! We are not TTC anytime soon and it wouldn't be a good situation money wise if it happened. I haven't taken a HPT yet but probably will next week, who knew I'd miss AF so much for reasurance reasons alone?

  • I think this every month too and we use protection. Every time I think something smells weird or I feel extra tired, I think I'm pregnant. I try not to freak out and haven't taken a test, but I'm am so relieved each month I get my period. I think it's because we have so many plans for the next yr and another baby isn't in them. It wouldn't be the end of the world though and I would be positive about it if it did happen.
