Anxiety and possible pregnancy

[implant7890]

Hi,

I wanna start this by saying I am fully aware that I sound paranoid. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder and this is making me spiral.

Last year (October) I got the implant. I’ve never thought much more of it but the other day I was watching house and a girl got pregnant while on the implant. This was nagging at the back of my mind for a while until I started to feel nauseous. I do get a period but it is very very light and lasts not even a day - I know this was not implantation bleeding because it is consistent every month.

I started taking tablets (dong Quai) to induce my period just to give myself peace of mind however nothing is helping. My nausea could be my anxiety but now my left nipple is sensitive and is a tiny wee bit white. I’ve been getting cramps butt I think that may be the tablets.

Obviously because we are in the middle of a global pandemic I can’t go to the GP about this. I can’t bring myself to take a test. I really need some peace of mind and/or advice.

I never had any of these symptoms until I watched house and got a little worried, it’s all just spiralled from there. For reference - I am 19.

Thank you

I've suffered from anxiety all my life (especially health anxiety) and I can tell you that you can make yourself feel symptoms of illnesses or pregnancy. I did it a few years ago, convinced myself I was pregnant even though I took the pill as prescribed, I felt sick, had sore boobs, was tired etc, all the pregnancy symptoms. Turns out I wasn't pregnant and after I took a test the symptoms vanished.

Take the plunge and do a test, it's the only way you're going to feel better about everything. Just sitting and over thinking is going to ruin your mental health.

Thank you. I’ve ordered some clear blue ones online. I feel like I’ve been on the verge of a panic attack the past hour so I think maybe you’re right

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to reach out and see if anyone else is in the same situation ..... After 5 years of ttc, I had my first round of IVF and well I have a positive result and am currently 6 weeks pregnant!! Which is fabulous news. BUT with the current situation I am having severe anxiety about everything! Mainly being pregnant for the time first time in my life ever! Having to stay at home is proving difficult to keep my mind busy, usually I would be at work every day and able to keep busy. No one knows apart from husband, we have our scan in 2 weeks. I feel that what should be the most happiest time ever in my life has taken a back seat.... Feel free to shout out if anyone else out there is feeling the same. Thank you!
