Ok, so this a vent sesh. Feel free to comment with anything that may help calm my nerves about this situation.

So first off, I would like to start out by saying I know how pregnancy works so this isn’t the kind of post by someone who doesn’t understand how everything works. I major in biology so I have a pretty good understanding as to how how living things work at this point as I’m getting ready to graduate.

And now to the situation at hand. So I’m 23. I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 7 years, and we’ve been having sex for the last 5 of those years. We rely on my birth control (I’m on the patch) and the pullout method for the most part these days. Although, we do still use condoms when he wants to finish when I do, inside me. So anyways, Friday night we celebrated Valentine’s Day because we’re long distance at the moment and he bought us tickets to see Phantom of the Opera as my present (major points for him btw, I was so surprised I cried, it was great). After the show we changed and went out to a club and we got pretty wasted, me especially. We came home and started getting intimate and had some pretty great sex (although I don’t remember most of it because I was pretty hammered). Now here lies the dilemma. For the first time ever, he came inside me. Without a condom. I also had taken off my patch earlier that day because I’m supposed to be getting my period, which is how the patch works, you know? I know that my chances of pregnancy are kind of low. But a small chance is still a chance and I’m freaking the fuck out. I’m trying not to stress or think about it too much because I don’t want to delay my period, but I can’t help it, I’m a worry-wart. My boyfriend assures me that no matter what, everything is going to be ok and that we’ll take care of it if something happens. But I’m also over here like “oh my god, why didn’t we go get plan b?” I’m a hot mess right now. I don’t know how to shut my brain off. This is going to be the longest next couple of weeks before I can take a test that will be accurate. HELP.
