side effects!?

Hello! I have been on Nexplanon since October of 2022, so it has almost been 2 years now. In the last 2-3 months, I have been experiencing a period every other week (one week on, one week off) as well as a lot of acne suddenly appearing. Since starting nexplanon, I did notice I’d have maybe...

I started taking the two hormone bc again even though I’m not super sexually active, I thought it would help my acne. However, I’ve gained like three pounds and my lower part of my stomach is extremely protruded in a way I don’t think three pounds would cause. Took two pregnancy tests both...

Hi all, I’ve posted in here before about my woes with Kyleena. I’m actually scheduled to get the ParaGard in three days. Since I got my Kyleena, I haven’t had a period once. Today I woke up with extreme cramping, nothing like I’m normally experiences, and started bleeding for the first time in...

Hey guys - I just wanted to document my experience with Plan B in case y’all are going through something similar. It’d be great to hear if you guys are going through it too… there isn’t a lot of information out there. I have never taken any type of birth control, but I took plan b in June as a...

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?!

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’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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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 an appointment to see my doctor today and have always been against the idea of birth control; no offense to anyone on it but I don’t like the idea of a pill regulating my cycle and the hormones aren’t always good for someone who has a mental illness such as depression like I do. I am at...

So.. I got my copper coil inserted just over a month ago, I still have my (expired) implant in because they're not doing removals ATM because of COVID. I've had a normal period in the week following my insertion, and had 1 day of random bleeding about 10days before my cycle was due but I'm now...

Hi I'm just curious if anyone else has had this issue w/ their copper IUD? I was on the pill from like 15-21 and then decided the pill was negatively affecting my mental health and it felt nice to live life without hormonal BC esp. during the pandemic and after a devistating loss in my life...

Long story short- I’ve struggled with BC since I couldn’t get what BC worked well for me anymore back in 2021 … my Dr put me on a sample of nextstellis and I started cramping so bad to where I couldn’t move and passing almost lemon sized blood clots. I took myself off cold turkey and have said I...
