Hi guys, anybody here went for covid-19 vaccine and still continues taking birth control pills. I am hesitant to start my box of marvelon pills. I have a vaccine appointment on 6th of May.

The first 2 times I got an iud I was only told to take 800mg of ibuprofen. The third time at a planned parenthood, they gave me a heating pad and I realized there were more ways to help with the pain. Now that I’m considering getting the iud again, I’m wondering what kind of pain management you...

Editing my post to add this VERY important point that should not get lost in the noise: birth control is overwhelmingly safe and effective. It has empowered women/people with uteruses to chart their own futures and offered a level of agency over our lives that was previously unimaginable...

I’m a 15 year old girl who is struggling with PMDD and also just looking to get on birth control in general. I talked to my doctor about my symptoms and she said the arm implant would work best for me. I have a low bmi (I’m 5’2 and a little under 100 pounds) I’m just wondering about the pros and...

Burning genitalia aside, Phexxi is presenting their product as 86% effective with typical use... based on their 7 month clinical study. From their own product information: So, 27.5% failure rate over the course of a year with typical use. Less like a condom, more like withdrawal in terms of...

I could on sprintec (had period 4 times a year) but just wondering if I can skip the sugar pills on microgestin

cw: depression & anxiety & inferred sui ideation hey y’all, so a few months ago i tried the mini pill/p.o.p. and was on norethindrone specifically. i already have anxiety, but this pill made me more anxious. of course my ex also made me anxious, so let’s take that into consideration! anyway i...

I’m about to enter my placebo week on my last pack and I called my OBGYN to ask for a refill and they said they can’t give me anymore until I have my annual exam … I told them that I’m away at college and won’t be able to go until I get back home (literally less than a month) and I asked if I...

A few hours ago, a girlfriend and I were going at it, when all of a sudden something changed and I pulled out and realized the condom broke. I was not even close to cumming though. However, a few minutes before I strapped on, she gave me a bj and I did come then. But does that not matter...

Should I take another plan B? he came inside me and i peed and washed off everything from my body and then got a plan B an hour after everything happened... but the next day the tip of the condom came out of me... i am really worried and this is the first time this happened please help. thank...

Hi everyone, This month I switched from 1/20 to 1.5/30 due to the amount of cramping from the lower dose and how it was making me feel emotionally. I took 1/20 for a year and some months and my gyno made the switch for me to the higher dosage. I am currently on day 2 of placebo and it just...

I have been religiously taking the BC pill (monophasic, two packs continuously + 4 day break... repeat the cycle), have never missed, and so far it's been good. However, since I live in a country where abortion is illegal, I'm paranoid about getting pregnant (BC pills can fail for a number of...

Hi guys , I need help 🙏 I store my pills in the fridge and there’s a button to change the temperature ( 1-5) I put number 3 because I thought it would be reasonable assumption but I don’t know really what 3 means in C or F ? Are the Pills okay or they got spoiled? I’m a little worried and would...

I feel shocked and betrayed by my body and or this device. I had no issues for 3.5 years. Then a month ago I started to have more discharge than normal but didn’t think too much of it. I still got soft mild barely there periods pretty regularly. So when this current period came, nothing seemed...

That’s it! I surrender! I’m getting rid of you asap! I’ve made an appointment for June 7, and I’m counting down the days till you’re no longer making my life hell… No longer causing me to wake up in the middle of the night with hunger pains, no longer causing me to bloat so much I can’t fit in...

So my girlfriend had her 2nd shot of depo and was supposed to go back on the 10th to get her 3rd... we had unprotected sex around the 12th and she went for the shot again the 16th.. would she be able to get pregnant?

What the title says. 15 years old, and I got the shot about 11 days ago, this is my first experience with birth control. My period was supposed to start the day after, and the person who gave me the shot said that I would probably experience bleeding for up to 3 months after bc my uterus lining...

So in the week leading up to me getting an IUD, even just hours before people were sending me posts from this subreddit with horror stories about getting the IUD and how painful it is. So bad I was ready to bite the cancelation fee and cancel the appointment, I’m here to tell y’all it’s not that...

Is how much it cost to have my IUD removed in an emergency room in the USA. With "incredible" insurance coverage, my total was $961. I wish I took it out myself. It was barely hanging in my cervix. I could have done it. I can't stop crying. I have a 19m old, I'm alone, $1500 in bills every...
