Mostly posting this so I feel less crazy? I can’t be the only one who’s paranoid about an unplanned pregnancy.

I currently have an almost 6 month old. My partner & I decided we’re a one & done kind of couple (not that we don’t love being parents, but we want to be able to give our daughter our all. And, I’m an anxious noodle — hence this fear of mine — and I don’t think my anxiety could handle another one). So, he got a vasectomy when she was 6 weeks old. I got an IUD when she was 8 weeks old. It’s been blissful not worrying about an accidental pregnancy.

Until this month. I keep having pregnancy dreams, and baby dreams. My boobs are sore. I’m peeing constantly. I’m nauseous. My back hurts. I’m having all the symptoms I had when I was pregnant with my daughter. And, it’s causing serious paranoia. I know I’m not pregnant. He went in for his first check like he was supposed to — he has no sperm. And, even if he did — I have an IUD.

I’ve taken a couple of ‘internet cheapie’ tests I had leftover from DD, and they’ve been negative, but I don’t know how sensitive they are (I used them several weeks after missed period with her). I don’t know why I’m so nervous! I know it’s impossible.

Anyone else find themselves worrying about pregnancy when it’s literally (almost) impossible? Damn that almost 😂
