hey yall. i’ve tried to post about this before but mostly just got some mean comments. so please know that i know the risks and am trying to do everything in my power to prevent a pregnancy.

so my bf and i were having some fun last wednesday, and we ended up losing our virginities to each other. we really weren’t planning on it but one thing led to another and well, we are sure we want to get married so we didn’t see a point in waiting. that was day 22 of my 28 day cycle, so after i was done ovulating. he pulled out way before he came, and i took a shower right after. but i still went ahead and got a generic plan b the next morning. my period was supposed to come today, and it hasn’t yet. i know it can disrupt my cycle, and i also know that it is most effective taken within 24 hours, which i did. i am also on the mini pill, but i know for a fact that it doesn’t always prevent pregnancy bc my mom was on it when she had me.

luckily, i’ve been able to talk to my bf about the whole thing and i know that he will stay with me no matter what, but i’m honestly terrified. we both come from religious families, and we know that our families would still love us, but we don’t want to have to bring that up. we’ve decided not to do it again until we’re actually married, just because of how much anxiety i am having over this.

i know that the chances are extremely low but is there any way to know for sure before next month? i don’t want to consider abortion but we are both still in college, i’m 20 and he is 23, and we aren’t really financially ready to move in together let alone raise a kid.

i’m just really freaked out rn and could really use some peace of mind 😔
