birth control

I’ve been taking norethindrone for almost a year now. My periods were usually regular and happened once a month. But for the past 3 months, I haven’t had my period. Is this normal?!

so i got the depo shot about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and like exactly a week after I got it I started getting really dizzy at random times? like i woke up that morning and i was just really dizzy and unsteady. then i went to my first class of the morning (i'm in high school) and at super weird...

I 21Fwas feeling extremely frisky w my partner 26M 2wks ago and he inished inside of me I know i should have been smarter but we all have those moments I have pcos so I never truly know when I’m ovulating and my periods are typically irregular. my main concern is I’ve took a Plan B before in the...

I’m on hormonal IUD and have had very irregular periods. I panic every time my period is late or it seems like a long time has passed. Currently panicking right now. How do you guys cope with this? Do you just take a bunch of pregnancy tests every so often? I know it’s very very very unlikely I...

I’ve been off birth control for about a month and a half after being on it for 8 or 9 years. I had the Kyleena the past 5 years. Ever since I got it out I’ve had issues with my pH. Has anyone else had the same issue? I’m using all the same soaps, lotions, everything. Now for some reason my pH...

it was my first time, i lost my virginity in the shower and my bf kept pulling out to make sure there was no precum. when he was rlly sure he told me n i moved away, he continued on himself. (he usually doesnt precum anyway) the next round I rubbed myself on his penis and he came into his...

For context I’m a 25(f). I had the contraceptive implant ages 14-18, then went on the pill for 6 months aged 19. Came off then went back on aged 21 for 6 months. This year will be 3 years since birth control. Ever since 2021 my mental health has slowly been getting worse. In my personal life...

so i took plan b after having sex for the first time because i was nervous that i was pregnant just like that. My period ended up coming a week early because of the plan b and now i am waiting for my second period and it hasn’t happened yet. I was just wondering can plan b affect your second...

I'm between 2-7 weeks pregnant and I just found out yesterday. I plan on taking plan b today but what are the chances it will work?? Edit: thank you for your feedback, I'm going to Planned Parenthood today to get plan c abortion pill. For anyone else going through this, plan b is too late...

I made a informative youtube video on my experience with the Kyleena IUD, because when I was researching if I wanted to decide to get this IUD, I couldn't find much information out there on the internet. Hope this helps anyone who may be questioning if an IUD is the right decision!

I took my sixth pill at 1pm today, and it’s currently 12:09am as I’m writing this. My bf and I had unprotected sex and he pulled out and didn’t ejaculate. I’m on day 15 of my period (yes it’s long I know that’s why I’m on bc because my gyno thought it could help regulate my cycle) but I’m just...

I’m a 22 year old woman and I’ve been having heavy and painful periods for the past, I don’t know, approximately 7 years, I guess. The pain is so bad I can’t function. I can’t go to school or if I have a part time job, I can’t go to work. I’ve usually had pain only the first day of my period but...

Yesterday around 6 pm I took a plan b after getting ejaculated in during unprotected sex. I then realized that my Flo app said I’m 2 days away from ovulating from when I took the plan B. I panicked due to the fact that the pill might not be effective and took 2 ovulation test ( I will insert a...

Hi yall I’m switching from jolessa to yaz this week and I’m looking for some experience on side effects?! Jolessa had me feeling D R E A D and crying spells even though I was on 20mg of Prozac as well. I also have full menstrual bleeding- not just spotting- for 13 days. Has anyone else...

Since coming off birth control, I got the initial withdrawal bleed, next cycle was 26 days, cycle after was 30, and now on my 3rd natural cycle and no period as of day 32… anyone else experience something similar? I’ve tested a few times, and not pregnant. I am really preoccupied with the...

I have heard that sometimes it doesn’t work for people that are 165 and now I am worried. I took it like 40 minutes after having unprotected sex so I have that advantage?? EDIT TO ADD MORE INFO: I was within my fertile window when this happened, approximately 3 days before ovulation.

I just quilt hormonal BC in January and have only had 1 period since bc of my body adjusting. Got the shot 3/15 and was expecting my period 10 days ago... anyone else experiencing a missed period or just late ?

I have taken Plan B once before and it wasnt this long.

Q re Spotting/bleeding since insertion (6+ months) I had Mirena inserted in July 2023 to stop massive bleeding that i'd had for several months prior (D&C helped for less than a month and progesteron pill didnt help much... the massive haemorrhaging stopped immediately post insertion but ever...
