Hey ladies of reddit, I need some help trying to ease my girlfriends worries about potential pregnancy since she gets extremely anxious over things like this.
For context a day after her ovulation cycle ended (according to flo) we had intercourse. Completely safe intercourse might I add, we used a condom and I did not ejaculate at all while inside her since she gets extremely anxious if I do, even with a condom on.
That same day her breast started to hurt, at first we thought it was because of rough intercourse, but at this point it’s the second week and they hurt even worse! She says it’s like carrying two big bruises on her chest.
My mom is a Nurse Practitioner and she told my gf that it’s normal and it will be fine, and we’ve looked on Reddit and it says it’s normal and it will be fine, but she still is anxious. Like extremely anxious.
Now here comes today, so first thing I want to get clear is that according to her Flo chart her period is supposed to come in 3 days (the 6th), and this is when her normal PMS symptoms usually come into play. Well, they indeed came today. She began cramping and almost flipped the fuck out and has been a mess since they pain began. I’ve tried to give her a pregnancy test but she refuses then since she’s “too scared”. My mom even told her that cramping 3 days before the period is normal, but she’s still stressed the flip out.
My real question is, can anyone offer her some advice to calm down? We are literally the safest college students out there sexually wise and she STILL does this every time we have intercourse even when she initiates it. I can’t take it anymore because finals are soon and she will fail is she doesn’t get her head straight and focus. Anything help yall, thank you
