On the flip side, my college roomie had a friend who after her first period said “oh thank God that’s over for good” #IWISH

I got told all the info from a family friend when I was about 9 or 10. I was terrified for years that each month I’d be laying a chicken-style egg. ????

When I was younger, I thought some girls got “picked” to be pregnant when they turned 16. I used to lay in bed at night and say over and over. Please don’t let me be one of them. Please don’t let me be one of them. ????. True story.

I grew up in Saudi Arabia. Up until my teens I thought pregnancy was a magical thing that god randomly decides for you when you get married. When people on TV would talk about having kids, I was so confused about how they could voluntarily get pregnant without god’s permission.

I was never told what a period was so when I got mine for the first time I was convinced I was dying, accepted that fact and wrote a will to give to my mum after school.

Went to visit my grandma and slept on a cot. My male cousin had slept on the cot before that. I just knew that he had left some sperm wiggling in that cot and I’d get pregnant. So I slept with my legs glued together trying to think how I would explain my pregnancy.

When I was young I thought women only had sex during their periods. And I knew I would never have sex or get pregnant because that was “so gross”

I believed that you’d only get your period for one day a month and thought it was like this big deal and you can’t do anything but bleed. Imagine my surprise when I found out it can last up to 7 days and life doesn’t stop because of it.

I thought periods were a constant flow like peeing. I was so confused on how I wouldn’t make a mess when changing or using the toilet or something.

My aunt got pregnant with her first thanks to some heavy petting before the wedding and was a virgin. Told my uncle she was pregnant the day before they got married. They used condoms for the first 4 months of their marriage because she didn’t want twins.
