I don’t know how to deal with the thought of ‘oh I might be pregnant’. Like I take my pill at the same time every day but for some reason I always think I could end up pregnant on the pill. Does anyone have any tips on how to stop this thought? I also have really bad health anxiety so that also does not help

@Wushu75 I tend to be the same as well. I suffer from anxiety and it sucks. But overtime you’ll start to worry less when you know you are protected. You’re protected fully when you know you’re taking it right. I recommend you find some little hobbies to take your mind off it. That’s what I do but if you still don’t feel comfortable try wearing some condoms to ease your anxiety.

Make sure you’re educated on how the pill works and what affects protection. Every time you get those thoughts remind yourself that you have taken your pill correctly and maybe distract yourself. I would maybe use condoms until you can trust your pill x

you should educate yourself more on the medication you are putting into your body everyday. If your anxiety is that bad, use condoms or stop having sex until you fully trust your pill. I used to have extreme anxiety that I would get pregnant, that’s because I didn’t understand how the medication worked or what affected my protection. Also just keep in mind everytime you have that thought just remember that you take it everyday within the time frame, if you have trouble with remembering take a video when you take it and put or say the date in the video.

Are you in therapy or getting treatment for your health anxiety? You can bring up that specific anxiety about getting pregnant with them

Girl, I’m the same way!! But after having sex so many times with my ex and not getting pregnant, I came to realize that its doing what it needs to and I just need to trust it. I have terrible anxiety too, but seeing it actually work helped tremendously!!
