This was me a few months ago! If you haven't gotten sick on your period, you are probably not prone to it. The fear could actually be why you feel nauseous. I have emetophobia, too.

I have the same fear and feel the same way on my period since I heard it happened to a friend. But my anxiety I always worse around my period because of the hormone stuff. You are most likely, like I do, making yourself feel sick. It's a normal thing to feel for us anxious people unfortunately.
