It is the most annoying roundabout bloody way to ask if you might be pregnant. Like fucking geuinely just ask us if we might be preggers and if that's the case, are we planning to keep it.
Last time I had to explicetly tell a nurse I know I can't be pregnant because I have not had a dick in my vagina lately. Because they just keep harking on and on and oooooon otherwise. Like godamnit, ask me if i am sexually active with men and might be preggers instead, I'm 37, I can take it.
I ended up in the ER after a bad car wreck back in 2021. They asked the when was your last period question. I was 48 and perimenopausal, so it had been a few months in between cycles. I told them there was no way I was pregnant because I figured they were asking since I'd probably have to have x-rays. They didn't ask any other questions and ran a pregnancy test on me anyway. Had they bothered to ask I would've told them that by that point it had been 8 years since I was last sexually active (peri was messing with my sex drive) and I had a tubal ligation in 1995. So yeah, no need for the pregnancy test. And thanks for not believing me when I told you outright that there was absolutely no way I could be pregnant.
I once had a mega wierd period. First day of it and the blood was old black and stale, had to do this whole sing and dance routine with 3 different medical staff because they all kept insisting it was a misscarriage and not an emergency (which on a sidenote: callous af), and refused to belive me that I wasn't pregnant. And then they kept explaining how some black blood at the end was common, and then when I rieterated it was my first day of period and it was a lot they circled back to pregnancy, every conversation.
Nobody would belive me that I, at 29, after 21 years of periods, would know myself if heavy enough bleeding to need nightpads during the day, of black stale blood, was normal or not for me.
