oh you’re freaking out about your life already?? how about a side of Pregnancy Scare??

I was 99% sure I wasn’t pregnant before I got piss all over my hand trying to check, but it’s a really fun little scientific activity to pee in a cup and on myself and then use a little dropper to sprinkle some on a test, so I didn’t mind

haha jk I absolutely hated it

    I feel you, my cycle was delayed like a full week this month due to stress and it scared me a ton :( I don’t have the pregnancy concern because lesbian but I was so worried that something else was going wrong in my body. I’m unfortunately underweight due to health issues and I just started a new medical elimination diet, and I was terrified that I wasn’t managing to eat enough to get my period.

    She finally came, thank goodness, but I really couldn’t tell what was going on with my body and what my hormones were doing at all for a while there and I hate that. I am still learning to sense all aspects of my monthly cycle because for the last two years I’m finally having it again after being on continuous birth control for a decade. I like the feeling of being in alignment with my body but man do I wish I could stress less about it.

      duuuuuude, me too

      Like, I just want to be in alignment with what my junk thinks I should be doing, because that’s probably (maybe?) the healthy impulse, but it’s so hard to predict/deal with/be in alignment with.
