So, this actually happened yesterday and I’m still cringing.
My girlfriend has PCOS and her periods can be irregular, but yesterday she realized she missed one. My brain immediately jumped to the worst-case scenario: “I might have gotten her pregnant.” Cue total panic mode.
In a moment of absolute brilliance, I decided the best person to tell first was… my mom. I called her up, voice shaking, and went into this long dramatic spiel about how I might be a dad soon. She went from “oh sweetie” to “wait… what?!” real quick.
A few hours later, after pacing around my apartment like a man possessed, my girlfriend reminded me that she’s not pregnant and that missed periods happen all the time with her PCOS. My mom is now both relieved and slightly traumatized. I can’t look either of them in the eye.
TL;DR: Thought I got my girlfriend pregnant because she missed a period, panicked, told my mom, and later found out she wasn’t. FML.
