freaking out over a delayed period
Hey everyone, I'm really losing my mind right now and just need some objective perspectives to calm me down.
Long story short: My cycle is super delayed right now (currently around day 35/36). Back in August, I took an i-pill (emergency contraception), and ever since then, my cycle has been completely out of whack.
The logical part of my brain knows pregnancy is impossible because we strictly used intact condoms every single time and there was never any ejaculation (not even close). But my anxiety is in overdrive—I've been stressing out of my mind every single day, checking my body for symptoms like cramps and nausea, and watching the calendar like a hawk. Every day it doesn't show up, I spiral harder.
I know stress and the i-pill can mess up your cycle for weeks, but has anyone else experienced their period being delayed by a couple of weeks after taking an i-pill and being super stressed? How did you get your brain to chill out so your body could finally just reset?
