scared of sex..?!

    Ok this is a little random but here goes..

    my boyfriend and i recently had a minor pregancy scare.. however I thankfully got my period today so the worry has ceased :)

    However, my problem now is, I am somewhat scared of having sex in case it happens again! Now, rationally I know this is very unlikely as long as I take my pill correctly (which i always have done except for this one time, hence the scare) and we also use a condom every time.

    But i still have this irrational fear of it happening again! I just couldnt bear to go through all the stress and worry again!

    Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced something like this, or if anyone could help me get over this stupid fear???

    Thanks in advance!

    The only way of avoiding pregnancy for sure is to avoid sex. If you enjoy sex, and want more, you will just have to accept the risk.

    I think say everything you said above to him :) He should understand and talk to him about it :) It'll help to ease your fear. (thats if you already havent :P ) Just give it a while. You'll feel differently lol. You're on the pill and using a condom. Well safe girl :)


    I suggest to inspect the condom after use. This will put your mind at ease BIG TIME :) You have the pill as a fail-safe. By seeing the condom isnt broken your mind will be at ease :) Stressing over things can effect a girls period.

    Sound advice above but why don't you and your boyfriend also make an appointment with a family planning clinic so you can talk through your worries with a doctor and have them put your mind at rest.

    Its an understandable fear. Good suggestion to go to a centre and talk through your options. There are contraceptives such as the implant that will not require something taken during the day either way the doctor will be able to help you figure out what method will work right for you.

    The other thing is to talk to your boyfriend about this and have a talk about what would happen if your contraceptive failed this may help put your mind at ease too if you know that you would have options and that its something you have already spoken about.
