Is this possible?

Hi

i have this terrible fear that I have become pregnant from using the same toilet/bathroom as my sister's boyfriend. he woke up during the night to use the toilet and then about half an hour later I used the same toilet. I had to do a number two. Afterwards, I wiped my bottom. I then had a terrible thought that this could cause me to become pregnant. What if he had just had intercourse and I touched some left over semen/sperm that may have been on the toilet door handle, the toilet paper or another surface nearby. Is this possible? This anxiety consumes me...it affects my day to day life, it's all I can think about. It has been going on for a few years now...I take pregnancy tests daily. I don't know what to do. Has anyone been in a similar situation or experienced anything like this??

Dear Dee

Welcome to Beyond Blue.

The very simple answer to your question as to whether this is possible is "No, it's not possible".

And also if you've been in this kind of situation for a couple of years now and feeling so anxious all the time, I would strongly suggest getting yourself to a doctor as soon as you can;   to see out some professional help to support you and assist you.

It would be great to hear back from you.

Kind regards

Neil

dear Dee, I have to agree wit my good friend Neil, I doubt it very much, but what you do have is OCD and it is consuming your mind all the time.

Are there any other chores that you have to do on a regular basis, even though they won't need to be done.

You seem to be wasting  some well earned money, so it would be great to hear back from you. Geoff.
