Potential pregnancy?

Hello! I am not doing any better. my period started december first, its is currently december 6 and it is very strange. I bleed very occasionally. usually when i wake up during normal periods i bleed a lot because of overnight blood, but this time i usually don't bleed at all in the morning, only when i'm at school i bleed, not nearly as much as usual though. maybe i bleed around three times, in one whole school day, but very little. when i get home the bleeding usually stops as well. it seems to be heaviest at school (which is still not heavy at all). i cant stop worrying about a possible pregnancy, i know it's dumb, because what are the odds that there was sperm on the toilet that i didn't see, or sperm on the pee that i wiped, but google doesn't help. i keep searching things and it tells me that sperm can be found it pee. it also tells me that sleek survives in warm moist areas. i'm afraid some sperm cells stayed alive under my fingernails or in my finger skin creased when i washed them with soap and warm water. i know the odds are low, but i did touch the wet paper towels with my fingers. it was about thirty minutes after cleaning the toilets that i got home and touched my vagina, though i washed my hands again before doing so. i've been very gassy and burping, and i google says all these are signs of implantation bleeding. i know it's crazy and what are the odds, it's probably not even possible. i didn't even directly insert fingers into my vagina, just the outside. i've been feeling so much anxiety and have had panic attacks thinking about this. i told my mom this, minus the masturbation part, only expressed worry that i cleaned the toilets without gloves then used the restroom and maybe accidentally touched myself. she told me it was impossible and has been trying to get me not to worry. i went to the doctor yesterday because the anxiety has been eating me up, i can't eat. i get anxiety and it doesn't allow me to pass food down my throat because it's constructed and my heart beats fast. i think i'm going insane. i cried to my mom yesterday. she took me to the doctor, i don't like him much. we only told him about my irregular periods, and i mentioned that i was a senior in high school and got a job this month. i am 5'4 and weigh 101 pounds. he said i was probably stressed and had anxiety and that changed my period. i did not tell him about the bathroom situation and my worries of possibly being pregnant because of it, so he just assumed i was stressed and had anxiety and referred me to a psychologist. i am going crazy. my mom tries to reassure me saying it's impossible, but i can't help but worry more and more the more i google symptoms etc. please help, i don't know what to do.

@miranda0213 It's possible that the more you stress and have anxiety, the worse your digestive tract will be with the burping, the gas and not able to sleep etc. I know that's what it's like for me! Like you've been reading, take the time to go to a doctor, to a woman's clinic or a free clinic for a second opinion, or to talk to someone that you are comfortable with. You might feel that going to your regular doctor is not the right thing because you're afraid he might say something to your mother, since you are under the age of majority. That in itself could cause a lot of stress! We all know that anxiety can cause so many different symptoms and until you have the answers it'll just feel worse and worse. Remember we are all rooting for you and are all on your side. Please go get yourself checked by a second source and talk candidly to them. I really think that it will alleviate a lot of the stress you feel.

Hello @miranda0213

I can certainly understand your concerns. Unfortunately, worry can cause a lot of physical problems. It does sound like you need to see a medical doctor in order to find a reason for your symptoms.

Is there any medical professional you would feel comfortable talking with?

@miranda0213 as the others have told you it would be impossible to get pregnant in the way you describe. As I read some of your symptoms though it rung a bell in my head back to when I was much younger. Have you recently by any chance starting taking birth control pills? When I did I had some of the same of the period symptoms and was very nervous because I was not ready to have a child.
