I am 22 and just lost my virginity about a week ago. I didn’t realize I was ovulating until after the fact (this isn’t something I’d ever had to worry about, think about, or consider — lesson learned). We have used a condom, he’s pulled out, and we’ve both checked the condom anyway every single time... etc.

Why am I so paranoid about being pregnant? I have 8 days till my period is supposed to come but I am driving myself up a wall.

Did anyone else feel this way after their first time? Or at any point in their life? My boyfriend has been in a few relationships and is not worried one bit. He’s been through this and reassures me that everything is okay and that he understands why I’m overthinking when it’s all new to me. But I am so paranoid. Anyone else feel that way at some point in their lives?
