PREGNANCY: Doubting psychological pregnancyFrom: Yndia (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 25 Feb 2009 09:23:37 -0600 (CST)
Dear sirs, my questions may be silly and my fears unfounded but, here it goes! I have been on the pill for 7 years now (I am 26 yo and had always the same sexual partner), and rarely did I forget to take my pills: in such occasions I made complete abstinence. This last December 14th I took the last of the 21 pills of Yasminelle with a a delay of about 8hrs (which is in the interval of confidence anounced by the lab that produces this pill). My period came and I started correctly a new tab 7 days later and never missed a single pill since then. The 31st December I had intercourse and mid-January my period came again, but this time very light, in colour and flux. I get extremely anxious when I think of the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy, and this episode left me a bit unsecure. I started wandering and making a drama, actually, specially when those usual side effects of the pill arrived (sore breasts, headaches, etc, which are quite normal in me)... This month my period came again, normally, 4 days discharge as usual and with normal flux, colour and clots even. Nevertheless, I thought I noticed my belly growing, my breasts were sore, I had to pee more often; symptoms that come described as early signs of pregnancy. I went to my GYN this monday and she said I overreacted to a ponctual change in my body, which is perfectly normal to happen, nothing to worry as I did not miss any period or had failed my contraception. She made the regular intervention: papsmear, palpation and intravaginal ultrasound to check my uterus and ovaries. My questions are: 1- is it possible that even with an intravaginal ultrasound a 6-7wks (i understand highly unlikely) pregnancy could pass undetected? 2- I consider myself an intelligent person, I am post graduated, etc... did I experience a psychologic pregnancy with physical symptoms?? I am much more relaxed about this now, I don't have this utter fear. In fact, I don't even think I am pregnant now... but I panicked a lot until my GYN appointment. I am sorry if I am being silly or even dumb. But I know you know how stressing these subjects can be. Thank you Y.
