    hCG tests shows positive even after taking Plan B. Need advice

    @scottxbx88 She needs to get a blood test to confirm pregnancy, unfortunately plan b does fail sometimes. r/abortion has resources for options and if your live somewhere without access r/auntienetwork has resources for travel and access.

    I’m scared of taking birth control because I don’t want to lose attraction to my partner. I’m also scared it might make me straight

    @jcfg Birth control does not control attraction and certainly can’t change your sexuality.

    WaPo article about birth control

    @merrily234 It’s mostly young pretty influencers who if you deep dive are selling a course or a vitamin or whatever to “detox” from birth control. There are some legitimate issues with women’s healthcare but the medical misinformation definitely needs to be tackled to deal with the other issues.

    WaPo article about birth control

    @phyllisgault I was put on it almost 10 years ago for horrible cramps and obviously as a 15 year old I didn’t know what questions to ask and how informed I should be. I learned the hard way that I mentally cannot handle pills at all but I would never say that means bc is bad. It means that like...

    WaPo article about birth control

    @merrily234 As someone who does have a lot of social media I agree with the article. The amount of fear mongering about birth control especially on tik tok is insane and dangerous. With the US having declining laws about women’s reproductive freedom this massive push is not good. The amount of...

    I (21f) just got a kyleena iud and I’m not attracted to my boyfriend(22m). Is this a normal thing that happens?

    @horsemadmaddie And also complete bs. Sarah Hill is extremely anti birth control and the book completely misrepresents studies to push her narrative.

    I KNOW IM SCREWED BUT WHAT DO I DO !

    @andyleechristian So a few things Mirena is effective immediately, any iud that can be used for emergency contraception is effective immediately. Second your doctor lied about copper IUDs. They do not reduce bleeding they significantly increase it and cramps. The only ones that do are hormonal...

    Copper IUD inserted in August (little over 7 months) and I haven't stopped bleeding since

    @daniel524 If you haven’t started bleeding then that’s a sign it’s not working for your body

    Bad cramps 2 1/2 weeks after Mirena IUD insertion

    @brytstar I had cramps that tapered off the first few months with mine. The worst was over by a month and I just got random ones

    L-carnitine w/ pill

    @n9070 The only supplement that is known to interfere is St Johns Wart but there aren’t a lot of studies done supplements because they are unregulated. You should always discuss with your doctor before taking any kind of supplements.

    I (21f) just got a kyleena iud and I’m not attracted to my boyfriend(22m). Is this a normal thing that happens?

    @charmaine93 No, birth control doesn’t affect attraction. It can affect smell and taste but not attraction. It sounds like correlation not causation. If the relationship is new it sounds like you’re just not vibing with it anymore

    Vitamin C and birth control patch?

    @nanner No it doesn’t and there’s no evidence vitamin C does anything for your immune system either
