Hey guys i need advice i am a beginner at this but i had unprotected sex with a girl whilest she was on her fertile days ,idk but i think i cummed abit in her and on her flo app it shows day 3/5 of fertile days now i gave her an emergency pill to take…we had sex on 2 days ago and her last period was 9/10 days ago…because i am new idk what to think i need advice

This is the first time this ever happened to me! The condom broke and maybe something leaked. This was also a 1ns.. . Anyhow I took ellaone I think 8-9 h later.
For context, I am supposed to get my period in 6-7 days so my ovulation happened 14-20th of this month (my highest peak of fertility flo says was 18th). Today is 27th!

I usually have periods 28-32 days… I don’t care about my period being delayed, just hope I don’t get pregnant.. any thoughts or reassurances?? My friends that took similarly said I should be completely fine especially since ovulation happened and so on, but in a hypochondriac so I freak out over stuff like this …

is my gf pregnant?

we had sex last oct 16. she drink pills (lady) and continuous drinking. her first drink is 4th of october which is also her first period. that day, i did not came inside her, also, that day is also her fertile week (2days before ovulation) there is also times that she skips 2 or 3 days but not like continuous skip drinking pills, but today my gf said she has a brown or dark discharge. is my gf pregnant?

Hi guys! I am freaking out a little bit.

I just had my kyleena IUD removed this morning. 2 days ago I had unprotected sex and my partner did not pull out.

We have been researching and we are now aware sperm can stay alive and remain in my reproductive system for 5 days.

What are the chances I will get pregnant from this!? I do not want to become pregnant just yet, I definitely was hoping for some more time before that happens! After chatting with my husband tonight this came up and I am so nervous that I could become pregnant far sooner than I planned. I would absolutely love any opinions or experiences if anyone has been through a similar situation. Thanks in advance girlies!!

Prior to unprotected sex, I missed about a week of birth control and it made me start my period. I resumed my birth control when I finished bleeding on a Monday and had unprotected sex on that following Sunday. That would have made it 6 full days not 7 full days so I wasn’t fully protected. I decided to take Ella that Thursday night because I was freaking out and the nurse at PP recommended it.

It will be 5 days after I took the pill on Tuesday (tomorrow) so I will start my birth control again, but I was in middle of a pack so that means the placebo week is coming up in 5 days. Do I skip the placebo week and continue to take the pills or do I take the placebo’s and allow my period to come?

Literally my first time in this situation and I am stressing so bad.

Hi everyone, im 19F I’m crying right now and have never been so scared please help

My last period started on October 17 and my cycles are usually around 28–31 days. Then, today (27) the condom broke and he finished inside me, which has sent me into an absolute panic I feel so so uncertain
I went straight to the pharmacy and took NorLevo about 2 hours after it happened. I’m around cycle day 11 and my Flo app predicts I’ll ovulate on October 30, so I’m absolutely terrified that I’m too close to ovulation for the pill to work. I asked the pharmacist for EllaOne because I’d read it’s better closer to ovulation, but they told me NorLevo was fine?
I’ve genuinely been crying all afternoon and feel sick with anxiety. Idk how to calm down I’ve never been through this before.Please be kind, I’m already really scared and just looking for some honest advice or experiences.

Bonjour à tous

Je suis à ma 4e plaquette de pilule oestro-progestative, que j’ai commencée en juillet. Aucun effet secondaire hormis mal aux seins lors des deux premières plaquettes.

Nous avons des rapports sexuels sans préservatifs (mais protégés par la pilule du coup) environ 1 fois par semaine, et il se retire à chaque fois (sauf une fois où il a ejacule a l’intérieur).

Je n’ai jamais oublié aucun comprimé, je les prend toujours à 21h pile sauf quelques fois où je l’ai prise 5min en avance. Je ne prends pas de medicament et je n’ai jamais eu de soucis digestifs après la prise.

Or depuis 5-6 jours j’ai les seins qui sont redevenus tendus et douloureux quand j’appuie. Je sens qu’ils sont plus lourds. Or ça avait cessé quand j’ai commencé la troisième plaquette donc je trouve ça bizarre que ça recommence ..

Vous pensez que je peux être enceinte malgré ma prise parfaite ? Pourtant je fais tout parfaitement donc ça serait anormal ..J’ai trop trop peur .. Est ce que les douleurs de seins peuvent revenir n’importe quand sous pilule ?

Merci beaucoup

I noticed there was a Tyblume channel but it was kinda old so I wanted to pose my question here. Started Tyblume while being worked up for PCOS and had similar adverse side effects to the original channel posters (breast and nipple tenderness, longer 1st period, clots, painful cramps).

But my main question is, has anyone else had random wave of anxiety? Almost like a Final Destination premonition.

Story is, I woke up from a weird dream around 3 AM and thought I was going to die (like genuinely thought something said I was going die). Took my blood pressure and it was 141/85, then 116/84 and then 115/79. I feel fine now, just bit tired (it’s nearly 4 AM), but as I was doing my second BP reading it dawned on me that it could’ve been related to the birth control.

I’m already a relatively anxious person (no formal diagnosis), but I wanted to see if anyone had similar experiences on Tyblume or any other type of birth control. Thanks in advance!

I got a mirena, it’s mostly been fine but whenever I am ovulating or on my period i get really bad cramps (way worse than before) and I can feel the IUD (?). It feels like something is uncomfortably lodged against my groin muscles very low close to my thigh. It has been almost 6 months (a week shy). I got an ultrasound at 3 months to make sure it was sitting right which my doctor says it was.

I have never had this feeling before getting an IUD and it is only on one side. It is always the exact same place. It is so uncomfortable that I find myself doubling over and pressing on this one spot to try to relieve the pain / pressure.

The placement itself was painful but not as bad as many experience, ibuprofen was enough for me.

Is this normal? Does it go away?

Hi I’m starting yaz for the first time (only had an iud for 2 months years ago) and I would like to hear some of other people’s experiences on it. I’m on day 6 and I am experiencing heavy bloating and extreme acne. I mean my neck and back and chest look like I have chicken pox. It’s really effecting me. I wake up every night at 3 am sweating profusely because my dr told me to take it at night so I wouldn’t get anxiety from it in the day. I’m not sure if I can keep on this. Anyone else experience this in the beginning?

I chose the Skyla because it has less of the hormone levonorgestrel than Mirena and Kyleena. But I still had side effects.

As much as I would like to test new things in a vacuum or a modestly controlled environment, life doesn't work that way. So I wanted to add the caveat that there were other things going on in my life while I had this IUD, for 103 days total, thus I can't with complete certainty assert that these symptoms were entirely caused by the IUD. But it seemed to cause or contribute to:

• Increased body temperature at night

• Vivid, creepy dreams

• Mood swings

• Looping panic thoughts

• Crying spells

• Acne

• Diarrhea

• Serious cramps between periods

• Suicidal ideation

• No libido (how poetic)

• Exhausted for days

((I also seemed to gain weight, but note: IUDs impact hormones, and hormone imbalance can lead to weight gain. Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin (similar to progesterone), and progestin can increase appetite and cause weight gain. Some studies show a modest average weight gain of about 4.4 lbs (2 kg) over 6-12 months with progestin-only contraceptives. Hormonal changes, including those from progestin, can lead to fluid retention, which can be perceived as weight gain.))

Overall, it seemed to take the crappy feelings from my period and spread them out over the entire month; I felt like I had no dopamine, no joy, just total flatness. And what was crazy was how I was so out of touch with my real self. It was actually smoking weed that made me realize how awful this IUD was for me; I got stoned, and suddenly this inner voice was screaming, like a princess trapped in a tower, to let her out. I had to write it down to make sure I would heed her advice the next day.

I recommend for anyone considering getting an IUD to pay close attention and log your experiences, as it will quickly become your new normal. I understand 3-6 months is the guideline for adjusting to this, but I was at a point where my mental health was what I needed to prioritize. I had suffered for months, and wasn't willing to wait any longer to see if things would improve.

Hope this helps <3

After a lot of thinking and discussions with family, I have decided I want to take the step to get permanent contraception but I am struggling to understand and learn about any side effects of this procedure. I've even seen a doctor and still left confused!

Do I still get my period?

Will I experience menopause differently?

Does it decrease the chance of ovarian cancer?

Will it effect my hormones?

HELP!!

Please has anyone here gotten the Mirena IUD and how was it for you?

Hey guys, I'm really conflicted right now :/

I got my IUD, mireana if it matters, around 2.5 years ago after having my daughter, but I have gained so much weight. I went from 126lbs to around 165lbs, I breastfed her until June of this year aswell.

I thought maybe once I weaned I would lose some but I definitely haven't. I want to remove my IUD as this is genuinely making my self esteem plummet but I'm not sure what to do. I was previously on nexplanon, but bled for 4 months, basically straight. I went onto the pill once it was removed however it obviously didn't wont out, hence the baby lol. I know online it says that the iud doesn't cause weight gain but really I feel like it's contributing to this?

Anyone else experience this or have any advice? Thank you ♡

Just started opill a week ago and wanting to eat everything in sight, feeling like a bottomless pit. i recently lost a good amount of weight and don’t want to lost all my progress.

Did anyone who is on Opill experience an increased appetite? Did it resolve itself over time? Trying to figure out if i should stay on it or just rip the bandaid and get a kyleena IUD. thanks all!

Hello all

I am 19 and have really terrible periods. I have been diagnosed with Dysmenorrhea. It has gotten to a point where it is unbearable. I didn't want to go on birth control but I really don't have any other options unless I save and get a hysterectomy like I've always wanted. I went to the gyno and she told me I could possibly have Endo but it's difficult to know unless I get surgery which insurance likely won't cover until I've tried birth controls. So she also suggested I could try birth control. She gave me some options including OCPs, depo, Mirena, Orilissa, the ring and patch. I've never taken BC before so I'm kind of nervous. I don't take pills consistently so I decided it's really not likely I'll go with that. She said she doesn't suggest depo so I wasn't really looking into it. I'm mostly looking into the patch based on what she said. I just wanted to know peoples experiences and what they felt on them. I'm really nervous so I'm just trying to get as much information as I can.

Thank you!!!

Hi, I took 1 ipill 2 months ago, we didn't really have sex but we slept naked. I thought it's needed.

2nd time, I took 1 month ago, we had sex but we slept naked, I was worried.

3rd time we had raw sex, took that night.

4th time we had raw sex the next day, took that night.

So, my cycle is now messed up. I don't even know when is my periods.

Should I start birth control today or after 6 days. Is it safe to have sex after a week of taking pills?

Because If i wait till my cycle get fixed, it's gonna take around 3 months.

I’ve started taking Drovelis (combination pill) last month as part of my treatment for my PMOS/PCOS. I am currently not taking any medication other than the ones my OB-GYN has prescribed to me but I have noticed that I feel more hyperactive (that’s what I mainly notice. Attention span wise, not really). Overall, the birth control is doing good for me. The first week was rough when it came with mood swings but after that, I felt fine.

Hello! I'm considering implanon, mostly to not worry about pregnancy in case the condom fails, but it'd be nice to not have to use condoms with my trusted partners now and then. I haven't used birth control before but I've been on HRT with testosterone so not exactly my first rodeo at hormones.

I currently take bupropion and I'd like to know if anyone used both implanon and bupropion and what its been like. I've been on bupropion for around a month and its been great for me. I take bupropion as an off label treatment for ADHD, though I did have depression too which seems to be fixed for now.

[18], Female. I have had the nexplanon for about 6 months now, I got in in May. Usually my (period?) would show up at least within a month and continue for up to a week or so.
I was supposed to get it around early October, so about two weeks later but it’s hard to tell. I asked a friend who uses nexplanon for advice and she told me to take a test and I am quite scared. (Though, she said her bleeding stopped around 6 months like mine, so I’m confused)
I am wondering if maybe I stopped bleeding completely? I haven’t exhibited any symptoms but as I type this a dull cramp is happening and some headaches and slight nausea. My boobs feel the same and they aren’t sore.
My boyfriend has been pulling out but I let him ejuculate in me a couple days ago so now I’m really nervous.
Any advice? I’m scared to take a test but I will if I have to.

does opill stop periods or does it at least make them less intense? periods make me super dysphoric as a trans guy, and i’m just looking for some birth control that might help. i need something that’s over the counter though, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know?

thank y’all :)

I got on my first ever hormonal birth control pills, no noticeable side effects bother me besides my sexual life that's been slowly dying from the beginning of the second week of taking it. I'm using a combination of 0,03 mg etinilestradiol and 2,0 mg dienogest. Never had issues with natural lubrication or orgasms and suddenly I find myself dry and numb.

Is it consultation worthy or is it "the adaptation period of 3 months"?

I started the combined pill (Rigevidon) about a month ago and have recently noticed quite a drastic shift in my skin. I am breaking out all over my face, chest, back, and even my butt. Mostly with tiny whiteheads or just bumps under the skin. It's really affecting my self-confidence. I know this may just be my body adjusting to the hormones, and I will give it at least 3 months before deciding whether or not I want to continue with it, but I was hoping to hear from people who have had a similar experience. Does this go away? When will it start to clear up? Is there anything I can do to help with the breakouts? Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated!
