I’m freaking out

[Icantwaittobemeagain]

I’m freaking out because I just had a baby 3 months ago and I’m late 5 days on my monthly. I’ve taken 3 urine tests and they’re all negative. I cannot have another baby especially with my financials. I have 3 kids as it is and I’m 23. Yes I know what causes babies and I don’t need that lecture. My anxiety is through the roof, I know stress can cause missed periods but what do I do ? My body cannot handle another pregnancy. My mental cannot handle it either. I’m freaking out. I want to go get a blood test done but I’m scared. I’m literally terrified. I don’t even have any signs of my monthly coming. I know this is a crazy post but I’m really freaking out here. We are moving across state to live with family to save money and already with 3 kids that’s a lot. I’m driving myself insane hoping for my period the next day and nothing happens. When I was 1 day late I wasn’t worried cause periods aren’t perfect, 2 days late okay, 3 days I was starting to think something was up took a test and it was neg, 4 days took another and it was neg, 5 days took another and it was neg. I don’t know exactly how wack my periods could be 3 months postpartum but I’m hoping that’s all it is…

Can you call your OBGYN?

Yes I have they recommended the IUD birth control, I told them I have plans of getting something in just not sure because the last IUD I had caused chronic depression and it took forever for my hormones to balance. Birth control for women is so crazy. But I think I can do a walk in blood tests this coming week☹️☹️☹️

Oh, yeah. I forgot about urgent care, they do test for pregnancy I believe. If there's one close by and you're able, they may be open today. Unfortunately, it's the only way you will know for sure, even though you're scared to find out. It will work itself out, no matter what. Take care of yourself, do some deep breathing. It's very possible that you're just very stressed right now, but have a blood test to be sure. Hugs ❤️

Aw noone here is thinking to lecture you. You obviously posted this because your freaking out so try to take a breath x you will find out soon enough if its positive or negative . I'm hoping you have options if it's positive. I live in the UK and women here have options. I won't pretend to know if its the same for you x when you feel calmer and can face the blood test then your probably better off knowing sooner rather than later x my thoughts are with you either way xx

For peace of mind I’d go to the obgyn to be sure

Hi,There are really big and uncontrollable physical & hormonal changes taking place.

Moving to be with family should give you the strong and unconditional ❤ , care and support that you need.

Being able to relax, let go and breathe into your fears through mindfulness will help release the tension. Expressing your feelings here helps too. We understand where you are coming from.

A psychologist once told me that is "important to accept whatever happens and not feel guilty or ashamed if things don't go as planned".

I have to admit struggling with this for weeks because I refused to make use of her advice until I was pushed to a place where I was about to snap.

Take some time out for what's good for you. Small things add up.

Hoping you find peace and healing 💜 🐈‍⬛

The only way to get your answer is in the lab.

I understand the stress you are going through but this could just be a hormone adjustment thing.

You are putting yourself through a lot by waiting.

Let us know how things go

Probably stress is causing you to miss, or maybe you are somewhat Anaemic. See your doctor.

Cheers, Midori

That sounds incredibly stressful. I just echo what other people have said, particularly about all the hormonal changes that may be throwing off your period, especially if you are breastfeeding but, even if you aren't, having a baby does a number on our hormones. I hope you get the blood test done soon. Sending lots of hugs.

I don't see my flow till after 8 months of giving birth.
