EMAIL FROM MEMBER RE: OBSESSED WITH TAKING PREGNANCY TESTS
"Hi please could you do a anonymous post for me. I really really need to talk to some one about this

I'm obsessed with taking pregnancy tests and it's driving me insane!
...
I have 3 beautiful children & a great husband and feel so lucky to share my life with them. Obviously they keep me and my husband very busy BUT I can't stop thinking I just might be pregnant. I'm on birth control in pill form. I take it every day at a similar time with no problems and no actual real plans of having any more babies at this current moment (I'd like to loose some weight first) despite all this and the odds of actually being pregnant being pretty low every time me and my husband have sex just something in my mind triggers and says but what if you are pregnant and then it all starts over again with buying test after test. Holding them under the light, squinting to see the second line even 'tweaking' the test in an app I bought that apparently shows up extremely faint lines that the naked eye wouldn't see. I feel like I'm going crazy. Every time I nip out on my own to the shops I will grab a test or 3 and excitedly take them once I get home. Heart pounding waiting for that second line maternity items to wear for the maid of the brides

. What the heck is wrong with me! Surly I'm not the only one who constantly worries and wonders if I'm pregnant. I get some people will think I'm insane but I'm not honest. I worry most as my husband doesn't know I have this 'problem' I'm pretty ashamed if I'm honest. Has anyone got any advice to stop obsessing about getting pregnant without trying?. X x"
