Hello friends!

I am a really anxious being (HEYO anxiety) and I didn't really understand how my birth control worked. I was under the impression that the three weeks of hormone pills are the weeks when you're not going to get pregnant and the week where you take sugar pills (or the week you're supposed to get your period), is a week where you can get pregnant.

I had unprotected sex the Saturday I switched from hormone pills to sugar pills for a week, and I got so scared I went into planned parenthood to ask for a morning after pill. The nurse who helped me was so sweet and when I explained to her what happened, she laughed, told me I was totally fine, and I left.

I was embarrassed, and still a little worried, but I got my period this morning and now my anxiety is gone!!! I just wanted to celebrate!!!
