Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any advice.
For some context;
I have a one year old who was a massive surprise but now the love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me, I absolutely love every second of being a mum.
Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage in September and the trauma has meant I haven’t had sex since. It was completely unplanned and we were using precautions. Ever since then, my period has been a topic of stress as I’m terrified every month and just generally very anxious. Even though I know I can’t possibly be pregnant, it’s just traumatising despite all reason. We were using precautions both times so I’m convinced I’m just really fertile and can become pregnant by osmosis - fully aware this is not rational.
basically, both times I have been pregnant have been a massive surprise to me, and now my period is a borderline obsession despite being abstinent for a long time.
I was due on my period on Monday, was very tired and moody. Tuesday had some brown spotting on a tampax then bright red also on a tampax, now everything has stopped. The blood on the second tampax looked like period blood to me.
to say I’m anxious would be an understatement - my partner is extremely understanding and obviously explains I can’t possibly be pregnant and does everything he can to make me feel supported.
i know I can’t be pregnant but any experience of this? Everything I Google says implantation bleeding but that obviously can’t be the case for me.
