Well, I'm happy to report that I've had not one but 2 periods since my freak-out back in mid-November (and I'm back to abstaining from sexual intercourse because I now realize how unprepared I am for a baby and I don't want to take any chances, not even a 1% chance). The first one came on Thanksgiving Day, when I was more focused on getting home and going to my friend's wedding the next day rather than on whether I may or may not be pregnant.
I guess it's just another story of mind over matter. I've learned to not psych myself out over being pregnant because if you obsess over it like I was, then your body will either a) be too stressed to function properly or b) start prepping itself for the fertilized egg (which includes holding onto that menstrual lining).
