OCD Related Anxiety?

In the past year, I have had a traumatic experience which made my anxiety come to light. I had a pregnancy "scare" even though two forms of protection were used. I took a pregnancy test, and I was terrified to do it. It came back negative and something inside of me kept intruding my mind and saying "the test was wrong, take it again". I took five more pregnancy tests, all of them negative. I still have these intrusive and negative thoughts daily and it causes me to go into an obsession about my body and thinking that I'm pregnant. I have never met anyone who has had these feelings before and I want to know if others feel the same way too.

It must be very difficult to get ocd about pregnancy. The good thing is if you don’t have intercourse for a month you’ll know for sure and you can move on from this one. And yes, a family member of mine fears pregnancy constantly. She even holds her stomach and won’t jog. I do love her therapist though. I hope you have one.

Sending you peace and light
