Think i'm being stupid

[sarahc1986]

I was with my fella in December when all he did was use his fingers. I've been on Microgynon since May 07 and haven't had any fruther sexual contact since. My period arrived the sunday after as expected and i've had a period every month since. In January I had a negative hospital test as precaution before going for an x-ray, had 4 negative tesco ones in april/may/june and a clearview chemist administered one in May. All tests came back negative and i've had 8 periods since dec and never miss a pill take it each morning when my alarm goes off. I did the tests for piece of mind as i had a few UTI's and paniced before seeing my GP.

I've just been prescribed my next 6 month course and spoke to my GP who said I was at no risk and have nothing to worry about as i'd spoken to him in march/april about this too.. I've been reading round about people who only tested positive at 7 months or had bleeding all the way through and also that overweight people might not even show. I'm not obese but i'm 5 ft9 and weigh roughly 13st12lb-14stone.. I'd be roughly 7-8 months by now surely. Can someone please tell me the things i've read on the internet are rare cases and i'm fine. I still fit in all my normal clothes and weigh roughly the same as I always have. I dont have a bump when i sit down I have what i call a normal stomach ie my stomach and my spare tyre over hang lol

My GP wouldn't have prescribed my next course of the pill if he thought I was at risk and surely tests taken in April i'd have been 4 months would have shown as accurate

your GP is right, You are NOT pregnant.

7/8 months chances are youd feel a lot of kicking and movement. The stories of overweight women not realising is often because they still have periods but can feel baby due to weight (you are not overweight) or that their weight means they rarely get periods and as such dont know when they fall pregnant.

All the tests youve taken would have shown if you were pregnant.

You didnt have full sexual intercourse and cases of men getting women pregnant that way are very very rare, they can only happen if there is sperm on the guys fingers too.

I suggest you seek professional guidance on this, speak to your local family planning clinic and get clued up before continuin in any sexual relationship.

Trust Redcrx on that. The women who don't notice get their periods all the way through and are generally VERY overweight, which you are not! You would feel it if there was a baby in there, that far gone, don't fret. All the best!

Ok, I missed the bit about the fingers. Don't worry yourself, hun, you're fine. As said, your bf would have had to have fresh sperm on his fingers / you'd have had to be ovulating / he'd have had to *seriously* mean it. In any case, it would have been EXTREMELY unlikely, and even more so that you've had negative tests all along...
Please go to your GP, or maybe your nearest family planning center and ask for advice.

Thanks you'd think considering when I lie on my back and look down i'm not greeted with a bump unless i breathe out fully but a nice flat stomach. Don't think a baby could disappear really

I think you need to talk to a professional sarah, I can't think of a nicer way of saying this, but you seem a little obsessive about being pregnant? The reason I say this is because I became that way following an accident I had as a teenager which resulted in an unwanted pregnancy, but don't let any fears you have about becoming pregnant destroy your sex life i.e. not having one because you are scared of falling pregnant, unless of course you actually just don't want to have sex which is something different altogether.

I would think the chances of you being pregnant are very, very, very, very, very unlikely, but I would strongly suggest that you consider some sort of counselling as to why you feel that way in the first place xx
