I feel like I’m the only one
I feel like I’m the only person on the planet who questions their birth control and if it’s actually compatible with my body. I don’t have any bad reactions to any of it so far. I was on the pill for a year and I couldn’t trust it so now I’m on the arm implant. My anxiety got so bad last year when I was super sick and I was on a lot of antibiotics so I started not trusting the pill then and I bought ovulation tests to see if it was working. Now that I’m on nexplanon, I haven’t been able to stop taking those ovulation tests and all of them are almost positive. I have no idea if the hormones in the nexplanon impact the ovulation tests to make them inaccurate or not. I’m going back to the doctor for a follow up appointment soon but my anxiety is getting the best of me. I’ve done so much research that it’s like my brain only believes that my body is unresponsive to the hormones or there just aren’t enough hormones to make a difference to prevent pregnancy. My boyfriend and I always use condoms snd he pulls out before finishing, but if the condom breaks I’m screwed so then that makes me terrified to be intimate with my boyfriend. I’m 23 and I have a degree and a career but still I’m so paranoid. How do I get over this fear and just trust the birth control. I don’t want to be the .05% that gets pregnant
