Hi Katie - have you discussed this with your boyfriend?
Perhaps the two of you can sit down and try to work through the anxiety by being open and working through the issues you are having?
My wife has OCD and although on medication, when we were trying for our first child I feel she kept a lot of this to herself. It was only once she did fall pregnant that I found out an awful lot more than I already knew. I still feel if she could have opened up (difficult I know) that I could have helped more.

Obviously it sounds like you really don't actually want to get pregnant, but maybe but opening up (if you have not already) you will at least release some of the guilt - which in turn may help with the obsessive thoughts you are currently having.

Good luck
