Dealing with OCD and Fear of Pregnancy

/tw minor sexual themes has anyone with ocd ever experienced obsessions about fear of pregnancy? it’s a weird thing that has come up for me despite having little reason to rationally fear that. it’s made things like showering more difficult and caused some rather awkward conversations from me, especially with the associated compulsions like hand washing and changing clothes. i share a bathroom with some other people which is the main problem. has anyone experienced something similar and/or have any tips for how to get through rumination?

I've felt this way and still do. It started when I was 16 and I'm now 44. I have to logically convince myself that the likelihood of getting pregnant from using someone else's towel etc is extremely low. Do some research and maybe that'll help ease your mind. Here to chat if you need too :)
