experience

I am a 42 y/o female. Had my first period at the age of 8. Was put on birth control pills at the age of 12 (due to possible endo and very severe pain although it got better). Over the years I switched from pills to the depo shot. I took the depo shot up until about a year ago when I switched...

My first week experience on Slynd It is now my first month on Slynd and things definitely got better which is great because I thought I’d have to wait for 3 months for things to regulate. Pretty much all symptoms subsided. I’ve noticed if I miss a day however, I get symptoms for a day. One day...

My last period ended June 1 and I started taking daily desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets (0.15/0.03 mg) for 8 days. I’ve had terrible side affects and need to stop for health reasons but I’m in a situation right now where I CANNOT afford to start bleeding (withdrawal or otherwise)- my...

Hi y'all! Day 35 on Opill and I've jotted down some symptoms, I've experienced for the past 4weeks. Previously, I was on Orthocyclen for 6yrs - but stopped due to increasing volatile mood swings, cystic acne, and intense migraines that were spiralling out of control. Age: 30 Height: 5'2"...

So hubby and I have relied on the pull out method literally our entire sexually active relationship (8 years). We have 2 children, and both times I got pregnant before, we definitely weren’t pulling out. He as always had amazing self control and my cycles have always been super regular, so i was...

Helllo, I saw a lot of people describing their experience with the fairly recent IUB and ngl it's really scary. But since mine was fairly good I thought I would give some hope out there for people interested in getting it. I got my IUB inserted recently (only 6 weeks ago) and I was aware of...

hi i just got my first ever copper coil today (5 year one) and when it was getting fitted the guy (not ideal but i legit just wanted it over n done with n didn’t feel like waiting 2 weeks for a female coil insertor to come back from holidays) said i had the smallest uterus he has ever seen in...

Switching birth controls and just curious about any experiences with this pill. I believe it’s the generic to Yaz.

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'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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello! First timer of BC here. About 1,5 months ago I started taking yazmin-28, I haven't had much side effects aside from breast growth, my size has gone from a C-cup to a DD/E-cup within this time. Aside from it feeling uncomfortable and a bit painful it's not too bad, but I cannot use my...
