Many women put off getting pregnant and having children for a number of reasons. It might not be the right moment in your life to have a child, or you might already feel that your family is complete as it is.

When you fear being pregnant before taking a pregnancy test, this is known as a "pregnancy scare." Many young women have false positives for pregnancy; they fear they are pregnant but subsequently find out they are not.

Pregnancy scares are upsetting situations, and it can be a trying time as well. An unexpected pregnancy can be extremely distressing.

Waiting to find out if you're pregnant or not can be so terrifying, whether your menstruation is extremely late or you're unsure of whether you took emergency contraception in time. The original poster of today's AITA story got a pregnancy scare and questioned his reactions later on.

It all started when his girlfriend asked him about the last time they had sex. The OP said it was over a month ago, and he used protection.

He also noted that his girlfriend has PCOS and is on a treatment pill. She asked the OP because one of her friends also got pregnant, and the OP was so panicked about the whole thing.

He gave his reasons, and you can read all about them as you keep scrolling down.

You had a bit of an overreaction

The important matter is that your partner knew why you were scared

You weren't wrong to take it seriously

Your reaction shows you aren't mature enough

All you have to do is tell her the same thing

She was probably already terrified

That is the first thing she should do

You need to be ready to be supportive

There's no right way to handle a pregnancy scare

The world has really changed

When you are concerned that you might be pregnant before taking a pregnancy test or visiting a doctor, this is known as a "pregnancy scare." Women can have a pregnancy scare at any point in their lives.

After all the back and forth, Redditors came to the conclusion that there were no AHs in the story, and we couldn't agree more.
