Does anxiety of getting pregnant prevent a woman from getting pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I don't know that anyone systematically studied this but I have encountered many anxious patients who ended up with unwanted pregnancies. I don't think anxiety has a big enough contraceptive effect. If you don't want to get pregnant, there are much more effective and reliable contraception methods. Why suffer from unnecessary anxiety when there are so many better alternatives?
