About a year ago, I got pregnant after using a condom and pull out method. It did not break, but I found out several months later that the entire lot of spermicidal condoms that I had were 3 months past their expiry, which explains the pregnancy despite a seemingly intact condom.
regardless of this, my boyfriend and I have avoided sex for an entire year because the pregnancy was so traumatic and detrimental to my health due to an extreme case of Hyperemesis Gravidarum, and the pregnancy ending in miscarriage that led me to bleed for 5 months (gynecologists did not do anything to attempt to remedy my bleeding, and even cancelled my emergency d&c after determining the egg sac was non viable, which makes no sense). So, as you can imagine, I at this point have a borderline phobia of pregnancy.
Hormonal options to birth control aggravate my other health problems very badly, so the one time this year we decided to have sex was on a whim, and we used a condom (not expired this time) and withdrawal. I got paranoid that i would yet again get pregnant, because i began feeling cramps, fullness, and a pulling feeling in my uterus, which I do not get the same type of feelings when Im about to get my period.
My head is telling me I’m not pregnant, but my body feels exactly like it did during pregnancy last year, so I’m freaking out a little. I even took Ella, the contraception, 4 days after because i was so scared and felt stupid for having sex.... but i also feel pretty stupid for thinking that I’m pregnant despite all of the measures I have taken. It’s still keeping me from getting decent sleep. So what are my REAL chances? (Hoping a doc will read and answer)
