Hey guys,

I have pretty bad anxiety so I'll start off by saying that cause I know some people may tell me to chill.

Disclaimer: I am on birth control that I take regularly, and use the withdrawal method if I don't have condoms already (yes I know there's a ton of controversy about that)

The period before last that I had was a little wonky. More brown in color, lighter than usual, but still lasted 5 days. This made me nervous so I started to research (bad idea). Then I became engorged in this obsessive pregnancy scare. I took 5 tests, all negative, at different times during the past month. I went to the doctor and had a vaginal ultrasound to which she found nothing.

I also just had a period that was pretty heavy, bright red, tons of blood clots.

But I kept researching which kept working up my anxiety.

I read that some women still get periods while pregnant. I haven't had any other symptoms, I feel perfectly fine now that my period ended. But it's that anxiety that is making me almost sick. Like, what if it could be me?

If anyone can relate and has some advice I would love to hear it. Thank you so much.
