Would you tell your SO you had a pregnancy scare?

Question

pregnancy scare?" /> So I'm on an ultra low dose birth control pill and one of the side effects is occasionally missing a period. Well I missed mine this month and it freaked me out a bit. I wasn't too worried because I take my pill religiously and we use condoms 98% of the time. But I was worried so I decided to test. It came back negative like I thought it would. But I'm not sure if I should tell my boyfriend about it. I don't want to worry him but I feel like he deserves to know. What do you think?

Answer

Depends on whether it would just freak him out like crazy or if he would be supportive and understanding. It'd be different if you were asking if you should tell him while it was happening, (I would have said yes) but it sounds over and done with if you've got a negative and moved on...

Answer

I didnt realise people didnt tell their SO that they took a test. I always bluntly tell him everything and he finds it hilarious haha

Answer

No ... Lots of people stop having periods entirely on BC. If you had any reason to believe you were pregnant than maybe, or if you just needed a voice of rationality, but otherwise no.

Answer

I wouldn't... My hubby always suggest I take a test every month he wants another baby I on the other hand do not. We have 3 (2 with him) already. So I usually take a test while he's at work and I never tell him he just sees the tampons in the trash.

Answer

It really depends on your relationship, and asking yourself "what would my motivation be in telling him?"  What are you trying to gain from doing so?

With my hubby, I probably would have mentioned it as it was happening.  Or if I wanted to change birth control options I would share it as a reason/source of stress.  Or maybe just mention it in passing as something that had once up for me, and I realized how much I am looking forward to having positive test in the future, or whatever.  But otherwise, what would the point be in telling him and stressing him out?
