Petting after abortion
Dear Sir or Madam,
On 30.09.2009 I had an abortion. Everything went well, both the operation and the follow-up examination. I then got prescribed the birth control pill (Valette) again, which I was advised by my gynecologist to start at the beginning of my new menstrual cycle.
On 28.10.2009, however, I only had very light spotting, so I called my gynecologist and asked what I should do. They advised me to start taking the pill, which I did on 29.10.2009.
Unfortunately, my husband and I engaged in petting on 24.10.2009. I should clarify that his penis was never inside my vagina at any time. We touched and kissed each other, and there was oral sex, but no intercourse. The ejaculation occurred far above my body, so nothing could enter my vagina. After the ejaculation, I washed everything off with water and dried it with a towel. We always made sure that no semen, pre-ejaculate, or any other bodily fluids could enter or come into contact with my vagina.
However, despite all precautions, I am terrified of being pregnant again, as my back has been hurting since 26.10.2009, and my lower abdomen is cramping, and today my breasts feel tender. However, my nipples are not sensitive, as they were in the previous pregnancy. I keep replaying the events in my thoughts over and over again at night to check if we might have been careless in any way. One thing is certain, the penis was never inside me during the encounter, and the ejaculation occurred far outside my vagina.
But, as I mentioned, the fear and shame of being able to get pregnant again are overwhelming me. Maybe I am overthinking and interpreting every "pull" too intensively. You must understand, I am terrified and confused. Please respond to me.
Thank you very much.
