rant!

i am new to reddit so i apologize if my story is long. the part on where i need advice on birth control is within the last paragraph if you'd like to fast forward this horrible story in which i am stupid. today i had met up with my partner 'M/37. yes i am aware the significant age gap is...

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...

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’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...

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...

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...

Long read: Okay so boom … beginning of last month I left a 5 yr dv relationship with my 1yr old sons father , you’ll see how that correlates in the end . 😵‍💫 Well I go to get my first iud ever on the 26th of last month . Didn’t really want (bc )at first because I was just refraining from sex...

Hello! I need help lang. I was diagnosed with PCOS last Nov. 2023. My OB prescribed me with Althea pills (for contraception use too). I've been using the pill for 6 months na and I never missed a pill. Naging regular din ako and my period comes like clockwork since then. Sa pill intake naman...

Yes, it has kept me from getting pregnant so it is doing its job. Big TMI warning lol Backstory; I got my Mirena iud inserted after having a c section. I bled for about 6 weeks which is normal and then didn't get a period for about 6 months. Thats it. It came back and is still the same as it...

I live in Texas & the thought of having an accidental pregnancy w/my Mirena in is so scary to me. Abortion isn't an option unless I have travel money & savings for the time off i'd have to take. I've had sex maybe a handful of times since Roe v. Wade was overturned. It's just too scary & risky...

Annoyed. I needed plan b prescribed so I made an appointment with my doctor and she said she couldn’t prescribe it because she’s religious and where she works at is a religious practice and they believe plan b is a way of terminating a life. I wanted to take this plan b as soon as possible and I...
