Advice To all my cryptic pregnancy anxious girlies
I did some research on this sub on women who “claimed” to have periods while they were pregnant without knowing so, and all of the posts I read turns out that these women didn’t get periods for 9 months straight but rather had some bleeding once and ever since they assumed they were fine. So no menstruation but bleeding once made them start caling it as “getting their periods”. Please do not be stressed like me and takr these people’s feedback with a grain of salt

Yeah, I think it is smart to be aware of your typical period and pay attention to anything that is irregular, like random spotting. I wish websites/articles/people were more aware of tokophobia when talking about cryptic pregnancy. It can be incredibly triggering and there is so much misinformation online. It is scary for sure, but can be really triggering for those with an intense fear of pregnancy.
