How Many Times Have You Had a Pregnancy Scare ? Posted: 06-12-07 07:55am
Do the users who come here wondering if
they are pregnant learn from their mistake
or do they get caught in the same
situation again? This is not valid for
those triyng to concieve
How many times have you or your partner
had a pregnancy scare? Was it due to no
contraception or faulty contraception?
Were you more careful in the future or has
it happened again?
What were the circumstances around your
pregnanacy scare?
1) A mad night of passion where we forgot
to use contraception?
2) A mad night of passion where the
contraception failed?
3) You sometimes forget to use
contraception
4) You regularly forget to use
contraception
5) You were forced into using no
contraception
6) You used contraception but were still
scared
7) You never use contraception/or use the
pull out method
Any other reason for your scare?

I voted 2-3. Once was before we were
married - we used condoms, but I was just
being paranoid. And two more after the
birth of our daughter. I was (and still
am) breastfeeding and was not ovulating
yet, but the lack of a period made me
nervous.
Great post, .Becks!

I voted 2-3 times.
The first time was horrible. I have a
history of ovarian cysts that interupt my
cycle. But that was the first time it
happened, and I was quite young, so I knew
for sure I was pregnant. The
other two times, weren't really a
scare/hope. I was pretty certian it was a
cyst, but, I couldn't help but be
concerned that I was pregnant. It's just a
natural concern when af doesn't show up!
Oh...I was late 3 months each time.
(before I went to the doctor)

because we were being 'relaxed' and using
the pull out (non) method

i also voted 2-3 even
though it was only twice.
the first time it was just me being silly
and paranoid (we hadn't even had sex yet,
we were just hot and heavy and all over
each other and humping like mad dogs with
nothing on, so like i said, i was paranoid
and silly)
and the second time was when we had sex
for the first time, the condom came off
during the act lol i would have swore on
my life that i was pregnant, but nope.

I only thought I might be once. It was
about a year or two ago, but I would not
say it was a "scare" exactly. I was an
adult and was finished with college. My
period is usually pretty regular, but that
month I was about five days late. I have
not been at all careful with birth control
over the past two years or so, so I am
starting to think I might not be able to
conceive at all. We also often use the
pull out (non) method. So
I guess you could say we are sort of
"unofficially trying" if that makes any
sense at all.
I never had scares when I was younger
because I went on Depo very soon after
becoming sexually active as a teen.

i voted 2-3 times.
i went on the pill when finn was 2 weeks
old and i'd never been on it before so i
didn't know what to expect. i got my first
3 periods on it like clockwork and then
missed my next 2 completely. so even
though i was on the pill and taking it
correctly, i was still very paranoid (i
tested like 5 times). i talked to a nurse
after missing my second one and she said
it's very common with the pill i was on to
miss periods completely, so i didn't worry
at all when the following period didn't
show on time (then i went off the pill and
i bled for over a week instead).
actually, i just remembered one more
scare... the first time i had sex (i was
1, it was unprotected
and he pulled out. i don't remember if i
was late or not, i think i just convinced
myself that i was pregnant since we didn't
use anything.
The
other two times, weren't really a
scare/hope. I was pretty certian it was a
cyst, but, I couldn't help but be
concerned that I was pregnant. It's just a
natural concern when af doesn't show up!
