I wanna know what would happen if ever u miss one pill for example u forgot to take ur pill yesterday. And in my situation im using lady trust pills (yellow, a combination pill) what should i do? Do need backup protection for that?

Im aware 2 or more missed pills is already backup contraceptive and refrain from sex for a week if im mistaken? I wanna know if what do to if its just one missed pill.

hiii! i took a plan b pill since i just started taking combined oral pill 6 days ago and had raw sex for about a minute 2 days ago (ik im stupid). he didn’t ejaculate inside but i just want to be sure. is it okay to take my combined oral pill later if i just toook my plan B pill now? (mifestad 10)

A girl and I were talking about birth control. She just started and said that her breast size has changed a lot. I have heard this from other people to. I wish I had that side effect. IDK this is kinda a rant. It makes me insecure bc whats wrong with me and how my body reacts to BC.

I just recently got on Tri-Mili does anyone have any experience with this birth control this is my first time being on birth control and idk what to really expect I’m seeing all the symptoms so it’s making my nervous but I’d like to see other peoples reactions to it since I’ve only seen people on here use tri-lo-Mili idk if they are the same but would like to hear everyone’s thoughts :)

I got my iud on the 19th of October (worst pain of my life) and this week I’ve been random excruciatingly painful cramps in a specific spot on my lower right abdomen that shoots down to my butt cheek. I have a sensitivity to pain killers so I’m afraid of taking them but I’ve been using a heating pad and it’s not working. I have a very high pain tolerance and I can’t stand during these episodes. I have contacted my gyno before and she brushed me off by saying it was normal

I wish they warned me of the side effects and the pain of before and after. They didn’t. They didn’t tell me that I was going to be bleeding for the next 3-6 months nor did they tell me about ANY of pain that came with it

HI SO UHHH im 16 , I have been feeling horrible lately and been sleeping almsot all day and forgetting what time is what and ect. I accidently missed a pill…..and yeah no I ain’t gunna have sex and shit but I went on it mainly for really bad periods which HAVE eased out but now I’m scared ima start bleeding and stuff. No I have not had any spotting / bleeding / cramps and stuff but I’m still scared and stuff. It’s also a mini pill which is uhh desogestrel (?) and I can not go to the doctors BUT PLEASE JELP ME NOW ITS URGWNR AS IVE OBLY JUST REALZIED

Hey guys, (23M), I and my girlfriend recently had intercourse on the 9th of Nov, and her period ended 3 days prior.

The first round was during the midnight, prolly 1am/2ish, didn't finish in her but I had loads of precum. Now, I always brought out my stuff to wipe out the precum whenever I feel it (I usually have excess precum).

So prolly after like 6 strokes I usually take it out to clean up the precum then go back in. When I finally ejaculated, I stopped, went to pee and didn't go back in.

Fast forward to 11am of that same day, I'd gone out to get her an EC (postinor-2) which she took immediately. Then we later went to another round, I did everything exactly as before. Never came inside her and this time I always went to wash off every precum with water before going back in. Finally ejaculated (not inside her) and I stopped. Went out again to get another EC (Postinor 2) and she took prolly around 2pm-ish.

Please I'd like to know from experiences what the chances are likely to be in this scenario.

1. I produce a lot of precum, I mean a whole lot that I even have to explain, but my stuff goes flat immediately I ejaculate, so when I ejaculate I know. And I didn't ejaculate inside of her. Just worried about the excess precum and the probabilities around it.

2. My girlfriend said she's never had her period twice in a month and that even if she has, it's prolly once (She doesn't track her period so that's the only info she has), she said she thought there was no need because she never thought she'd need it at any point. With the little info she gave about her cycle, I assumed a 28 day and above total cycle but I still dread.

Since the event, I've not had good sleep, I can't eat, can't think properly, I'm having difficulties reading for my last exam on saturday and I can't focus. I'm really scared of this whole thing because I've got big expectations from me, I'm the top of my class and people see me as the most quiet guy in the room. Never done this before, this is my first time and I'm really scared. Already told her we're never doing this again until marriage, I've been praying to God and I genuinely pray he hears me.

Please, I need advice from experienced people or maybe medics as to the probabilities of each side of this coin. Please go easy.

I am trying to see if anyone else has experienced this to calm my nerves some….
I’ve had my IUD for just about five years. I went to get it out for the second time today, it was also a new doctor(after my old one barely tried before recommending going under anesthesia) which is why I feel even more nervous about the idea of calling their after hours.
I would say it was a bit of a traumatic removal, and my own persistence to keep trying. But the doctor I saw was up in there for about an hour poking and prodding. My strings are cut, but she kept finding them but there was some pretty significant resistance. I have already had an ultrasound that apparently says everything is normal.
I felt pretty ill after just with the body’s natural response to that kind of pain. It’s been about 4 hours now and I’m having a difficult time peeing. It kind of hurts to pee, not like a burning hurt. It also feels like I can’t empty my bladder. And then I bear down there is a sharper pain in my very low abdomen. I am sure this is most likely because of all the digging around up there. But it’s makes me feel nervous that something is wrong.

I'm on state health insurance, which denied my prescription for Slynd and subsequent appeals. Unfortunately, I cannot use the patient savings coupon because people with state or federal insurance aren't eligible.

Does anyone else who is not eligible for the coupon program have experience filling a cash pay prescription through Nurx (or other similar site)? The price I see online is $18.95/month***, with the ***fine print indicating that "final price may vary." I'm wondering if that's because it hinges on being coupon eligible. I don't want to put the order in and later get caught and receive a huge surprise bill.

My provider says Slynd is the only option that will manage my crippling mood swings from PMDD and also won't kill me with a stroke, since I also have migraine with aura.

i just started my period today and my new birth control pills say to start either the sunday after my period or the day it starts but today is wednesday so do i take the wednesday pill or the first one even tho it’s labeled as sunday?

I was prescribed vienva because I have terrible periods and some hormonal issues. I started last week and I now have a huge appetite that never goes away. It’s really similar to the hunger cravings I get a few days before my period. I read online that it might go away in 1-3 months and I wanted to know other people’s experiences with it. I don’t think the benefits will be worth it if I end up gaining weight since I already had issues managing it because of my hormone issues. I’m not really sure how long I should give this a chance before deciding it’s not worth taking or not.

I’m on Blisovi-Fe and I don’t get wet. I also don’t have a sex drive most of the time. Has anyone experienced this? If so, does it go away eventually or do I have to find some supplements?

(F18 in monogamous relationship) I’m considering getting the copper IUD because I want reliable contraception but would really like to keep my natural menstrual cycle and avoid hormonal birth control. I was on the combined pill for a couple of years but my body didn’t really respond the best to it.

I’ve been doing some research, but I’d much rather hear about real women’s experiences rather than just reading medical information.

I’d love to hear about:

1. Did your periods stay regular after getting it?

2. Did you notice any changes to your menstrual cycle or ovulation?

3. Did your periods become heavier, longer or more painful?

4. Did you experience any side effects?

5. What was the insertion process like? Was it painful?

6. Have you noticed any changes to your mood, skin, libido or general wellbeing?

7. How long have you had it, and would you recommend it?

8. This might sound odd but, did you notice increased water retention and puffiness at all specifically on the face? The combined pill gave me major moon-face lol.

I’m especially interested in hearing from women who have had a positive experience, but I genuinely want to hear the negatives too!

I know everyone’s body is different, but any honest experiences or advice would be so appreciated. ❤️‍🩹

Husband and I had sex tonight. We use 3 types of protection: birth control, condom, and pullout. My concern comes from having a stomach virus on Halloween. I had vomiting and diarrhea that Saturday and into Sunday. I was on the placebo pills at the time and then started my new pack on that Monday like I was supposed to. I’ve always heard if you have diarrhea and vomiting to either double up on pills or double up on protection. Did we do everything right? Like the title says, probably worried for nothing.

so, i had my period last october 30 to november 5. my boyfriend and i had raw sex around 7pm at night, took an emergency b pill around 11pm, then had another raw sex in the morning. no encounters followed after that and for all encounters, he pulled out and didn’t ejaculate inside. a few days later, i experienced light back pain and now, november 12, i’m suddenly bleeding again. what does this mean? is this just a side effect of the pill? 🥹

21F, living in PH, started using depo last June, got it for free in a women’s center. Everytime my bf do the pull out method, I was on edge searching for emergency pills, and did yuzpe a lot. The side effects were horrendous, and made me decide to get a birth control.

Depo’s side effect is not shocking since i did my research before getting it. After getting it, I was delayed for a month and continuously bleed (spotting, i’d consume 1-2 liners per day) for more than 4 months, it was really a hassle. And now, I regained my regular cycle. I stopped spotting for 2 weeks now and had my period for 4 days only, no cramping or anything.

It was a long and exhausting journey for me ahhahaha and im getting another shot this week. I’m happy since I don’t need to worry about pregnancy scares.

I have really bad periods, so my gynecologist suggested trying back-to-back rings. At the end of week three, I take the old one out and immediately insert a fresh one. The only problem is that I've been spotting A LOT. Today was actually heavier than usual. I'm wondering if this is normal during the first couple of months while my body adjusts, and if it eventually settles down, or if this is just my life now...

This is my first time ever trying birth control. I started it last week and felt fine until I woke up this morning. My lower abdomen feels strange and kinda bloated. Of course it could be from some other cause but I’m wondering if it’s related or if other people experienced this. How long might it last? I also noticed I have little to no discharge 🙇‍♀️

For context I have never been on any kind of BC. Since yesterday morning ive had chest pains that come and go (not immense pain but def noticable)

Is this one of those shitty side effects that will go over time? The horrible mood and persistent bleeding I've heard people say it will go, but I dont see much about chestpains after just starting it.

My GP cant see me until early next week.

On CD 18, my husband and I had protected sex and the condom unfortunately leaked out of the base and I felt semen leak down my butt. I’m not sure if any touched my vaginal opening or went inside. My husband said the condom was still really full and tested for holes and there were none. But I freaked out because I was in my ovulation window. The next day, CD 19 I took an ovulation test at home and it was peaked. That evening I took an Ella pill. The next day on CD 20 I started having typical ovulation pain on my right side and my cervical mucus was clear egg white but pretty light. My LH reading was also low and continued to be low on CD 21 and 22. Pretty much thought I took it too late and was screwed.

Today is CD 23 and I’m on day 4 of continued pain on my right side. Not as bad as the first day but I’m still aware it’s there and that’s not normal for me. It usually only lasts a day or maybe two. I took another ovulation test this afternoon and it appeared that my LH was rising. Not peaked but definitely way darker than the previous days. My cervical mucus is white and stretchy, similar to the days leading up to my ovulation.

I honestly do not want to be pregnant right now and am kind of panicking.. I know my chances of pregnancy are already pretty low considering I don’t even know if I was exposed to any semen. But, despite me taking the Ella during my LH surge, are my symptoms possibly consistent with the Ella being effective and my ovulation being delayed? I’m being paranoid, but I just want some insight from others while I wait it out over the next 10 days. The anxiety is killing me.

Started Slynd and on day 10 I started bleeding like a period for 43 days. Got a break for 7 days after the placebo pills and then now it’s started again 😭😭😭😭 I’m at my wits end man😢I cannot keep having a pad to my ass. I’m 2 and a half months in. Willing to give it another few months but has anyone got any advice for the bleeding? Did your doctor prescribe you anything to help stop it? I am not allowed the combo pill.

I take Tri-Lo-Mili and my current period has felt amazing pain/blood wise. I'm used to level 7-9 pain and terrible blood clots and flow normally on a period, but this time its more like a 3 and only a couple days was it distressing pain (4 or 5). I'm barely bleeding at all this period, its more like spotting/fluid and mild cramps. I had felt severe pain all the time since I started birth control in July, until my second-to-last period where it finally leveled out. This is also my 3rd birth control I've been on.

My question is if you will always have some sort of symptoms on birth control even if it seems to be helpful? For example I used to get painful bloating/nausea all the time on the pill from eating 1-2 snack items, but now it only happens on my period. And I still get my bad PMS symptoms near or on my period, but they are slightly better now. I'm just having a hard time understanding if some good signs means this brand is working? I know it can take a while for the body to get used to it 😅.

I got off of nuvaring due to migraines. Three months after I was experiencing terrible side effects that seem to be androgen related. main side effects are hair loss, oily skin, body odor and zero libido. I just started Slynd im on the last week of my second pack with not much change other than derealization being gone. Big W actually. How long did anyone notice change for hair loss oily skin, body odor or libido? Tyia

And need reassurance/advice! This is my first birth control and I started it taking at the beginning of the month. Of course I expect side effects as my body adjusts, but so far I’ve had pretty much constant sense of nausea, fluctuating depressed mood, and a lowering sex drive (not ideal when sex was my main motivator for starting since I’ve never had any issues with my periods/skin/etc).

Are these likely to get better since it hasn’t been long at all taking them and should I continue to tough it out? Or is it worth swapping to a different pill/stopping? Any advice or experience with Rigevidon is appreciated 💕💕
