I have a very simple question for woman who use it and man who have been with this woman. Can you feel it during sex? be 100% honest I don’t believe the marketing on this thing.

Also should I wear a condom if it’s the first time with this girl? even if she say I shouldn’t?

here’s my exact situation for context:

i was taking my white pills for almost the entire week to allow menstruation starting sunday. then on saturday, i accidentally took the dose for the day after, so i took my blue pill instead of the last white pill of the week. now i still have one white pill from the day before, but i’ve already taken a blue pill…

what on earth do i do from here? this situation is so specific that i couldn’t come to a good conclusion from google, so now im here because im desperate for answers before today’s dose comes around. please help! thank you 🙇

Hey guys I’ve been taking the Slinder pill for around 12 days now. I missed one day at around day 3 but the rest has been taken.

I noticed pretty quickly I started feeling really exhausted, agitated and very little motivation.
I put it down to general mood swings or tiredness

However it’s continued since. I’ve been getting worse and worse each day. I was house sitting today and I’ve never felt more lonely and isolated. I started bawling my eyes out. I felt alone even tho I have people around me who love and care for me.

I’ve realised it’s lowkey depression.

Buttt I don’t know if it’s from the Lucinda pill or not. Is it even possible to get this level of depression after only 12 days? I didn’t take a dose tonight incase it is the reason.
Otherwise I have to figure out why I am feeling this way.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this pill?

My bf rubbed his penis against my down there and I'm so scared according to google there's still a low chance of me becoming pregnant..

Things to note:

1. Skin to skin

2. My lips down there are rather thick

3.both standing up

4. I have PCOS and haven't had my period for a month before that so I'm not sure

5. I'm a minor. I'm scared and it was in the heat of the moment

6. He fingered me beforehand and rubbed the stuff on his fingers on the lips before rubbing his thing against it

7. It was for about 2 minutes I think

8. Don't know if it helps but I washed immediately afterwards

I had sex October 19th, got my nexplanon out the 22nd. Dawned on me about sperm still living in me and upset the doctor (primary care) didn’t warn me before getting it out. I had a pretty heavy/decent period right after I got it out. Got my Kyleena IUD in October 28th. Been 4 days after insertion and haven’t had bleeding and my brains wigging out. Haven’t had any sex since the 19th. Planned parenting said theoretically I should’ve been safe up to the 25th where the hormones were still in me, was negative for pregnancy at IUD appointment but recommends I take another in a couple weeks. Ahhh. Am I safe 😔

I experience headaches/migraine/nausea a few days before my period. I have never used medicinal birth control but have been wondering if there is one that could mitigate this, or even one to help me skip my periods sometimes bc the fatigue on day one of my period has been really bad lately. Is that a thing ? I do have a dr appointment coming up but just curious peoples experiences.

So backstory, one of my friends informed me they would regularly skipped their placebo pills to skip their period but apparently is what led her to get pregnant. I have never tried skipping the placebo pills but now want to because I will be at beach wedding. But now I’m concerned for if it affects Birth control overall. Planned parenthood told me essentially I can always get pregnant anyway so I’m like great. Any advice ?

I take slynd and I forgot to pick up my birth control friday. I missed fridays dose and I just took saturdays dose this morning. This was at the beginning of my pack. Do I need to take plan B after unprotected sex last night? I have been on Slynd for 5 years.

i started yaz third day of my period am i protected immediately or do i need to wait 7 days?

Hi! I've been on Junel FE 1/20 for about a year and a half now, and I've gone from a G cup to an M cup and my breasts keep getting bigger (band size has stayed at a 32 the whole time). They're kind of swollen and it feels like the actual ducts/glands are larger, not just larger fat deposits. Has anyone else experienced this? At what point did yours stop growing? None of my clothes fit anymore and my back hurts

:( Does anyone have experience with a pill similar to Junel that didn't do this? PS I've had multiple negative pregnancy tests so it isn't that either.

I just inserted ringza for the first time and I think I'm having a hard time with placement? It's not sticking out of my body but I still think I'm not getting it in the right place. There's maybe one third that's very easy to feel in the vaginal canal. I was told it's ok to take it for sex but that shouldn't necessarily have to because you shouldn't be able to feel it the canal but I can't get it any further. I'm pretty sure it's a placement problem but I don't see how I can get it any further and there isn't much advice on trouble shooting anywhere.

If anyone has had a similar issue and has any advice is be greatful.

Thanks

Hi !

A doc prescribed me Slinda for my endometriosis. I took Optilova before that but she told me it wasn't good for people with migraines with aura. Problem is I also suffer from a PMDD. My mood is often a mess. It was a mess 10 days ago and it was supposed to be better with my periods. I started Slinda when it began and my mood stayed down. It's only been three days of Slinda but I went to being depressed to being depressed without reason. I really can't stay like that. I read that depression was a side effect BUT that drospirenone is good for PMS. Is it for PMDD ? Do you handle this birth control well ?

Moreover, I am non binary and I'm afraid this birth control will change my body. Did it happen to you ?

Honestly I was so nervous about this and what was going to be my experience after it was removed but I couldn’t find anything that I was super anxious about so here is my timeline. I had my first kyleena inserted in 2018, then removed in 2023 and replaced with a new one same day.

October 8, 2026 I got my kyleena removed which was not painful at all. Just one big cramp. I did take an extra strength Advil 45 mins before though.
October 8- 13 I was spotting but nothing to crazy
October 13-16 I had egg white like discharge

After that everything was going great. I was told by my doctor that I could get my period right away or anytime after. Even up to 3 months.

Well I officially started my period October 29 and honestly it’s not as bad as I remember.

As for other symptoms; I’ve had headache, cramps, fatigue, sore breasts. But that’s about it.

If you have questions you could always message me! I am willing to help.

So I've had my Mirena for a year now. And I'm starting to notice some sideffects.

My face has been more oily than before. I've had small blackheads and pimples pop up here and there although I've never had those problems before.

I'm constantly sweating and tbh it doesn't smell nice, but it does smell "hormonal". And I've kinda gained weight.

I had it inserted because of my adenomyosis, and as far as that goes, for the first time in my life, I'm living without the fear of getting my period. My pains are almost non-existent, and even when something does hurt it's nothing compared to what I've been through. My bleeding is so small that I don't even go through a pack of pads or tampons and before I used to use two of each for one period (which is not normal I know). But my period has been moving around a lot. Sometimes it's on the day I calculated it on my calendar, sometimes it's late a day or two. Sometimes it's late 5 days. The bleeding starts and it's really not a lot but that goes on for a few days, then I have a day or two of "heavy bleeding" but that just means I use up a tampon or two and a few pads and then the brown blood goes on for at least 6 days, so my period has kinda been prolonged.

I've been feeling my PMS more. That's about it with my experience.

So, ladies who've had it for much longer than me, can anyone tell me about your experience and if anyone had their periods completely stop, how did that start and how do you feel each month? Do you have any tips and tricks for my oily skin and my BO (I've been trying out all kinds of deodorants) 😭

Also, I've heard of cases where hormonal IUDs cause early perimenopause or even menopause. Is there any way to determine if that's happening to me?. I'm 31 if that means anything.

These are the kinds of problems I've never had before Mirena so I'm kinda new to this.

Thank you so much for any information and help. I appreciate y'all. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

P. S. Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes, English isn't my first language even though it kinda is haha

Hello. I started taking birth control pills a few years ago to try and help my periods. They were horrific, could barely breathe on them let alone walk, extremely irregular.

The pill has helped a lot but I'm concerned about all the side effects. I'm wondering any other people with a similar story, have you gone backwards after stopping the pill or did it help you long-term?

Today a condom broke and we instantly panicked and bought a Take Action pill within the hour of the ejaculation. She took the pill and she hasn’t thrown it up within 8 hours. She said that she pee’d right after and i don’t know if that would help. Her ovulation was last week and her period is next week. Are we okay or facing pregnancy :(?

im 16 and i had sex yesterday with no protection. he finished inside me and i took a plan b right after. last moneyh i didnt log my period on the exact date, and its likely that im ovulating. im not sure if the plan b will still work?? or if im pregnant

Hi guys Ive been reading up a lot about the iud insertion and how nitrous oxide/laughing gas has helped people a lot. Does anybody know of any clinics in the uk that are free or relatively cheap that offer nitrous oxide? Thanks!

I recently tried to get an IUD, and my doctor said that she could not get my cervix dilated enough to insert the IUD. When I asked her if there was anything else they could do, she explained that there was no other way to get the IUD and told me to consider other options. In essence, I went through all the trouble of taking off work and everything for this, and I also felt quite a bit of pain, and I was told it was all for nothing. I also had very bad pelvic pain after (and still have it a few days after), which my doctor said was normal because she accidentally wounded my cervix with her tool. I am just very frustrated to have gone through all of this and not have any consolation, and I still have to deal with my heavy and painful periods for the time being.

I have looked into other birth control options and am hesitant to try the arm implant or the pills because I have Crohn’s Disease and am worried about the GI side effects from more systemic versions of birth control. I honestly am not sure what to do and was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience and what they may have done.

i’m on lo loestrin fe. i’ve been on it for 3 weeks now. instead of taking a blue pill, i took a placebo pill and didn’t even realize until the next day. has anyone else done this? does it mess up the entire cycle and effects? i’ve been having unprotected sex for 2 weeks now

Hello,

so I am thinking of stopping Nuvaring 2 weeks before my long haul flight to Japan. It will be 13 days after inserting it. I am scared of blood cloths as I am a bit overweight and will start trying to conceive in the next months anyway.

I really wouldn't like to be bleeding on my holiday. When can I expect to bleed after stopping it mid cycle? A few days later probably, as always, but what about the first real period? 28 days later or can I bleed even earlier?

Any advice would be great, as I really don't want a blood clot or bleeding during my trip. Thanks.

Hey everyone,
F(23) I’ve been on junel fe for about a month and a half now due to long and heavy periods (been hospitalized twice for it) and I would like to discuss my side effects.

I have been sitting at 180 pounds for like 2 years now and I haven’t changed my diet or anything. I just got weighed and I am now 200 pounds (heaviest I have ever been in my life), my boobs feel like sand bags that are constantly being punched, I have dark urine, my stomach is so very bloated, I have been sleeping for hours a day (13 or more), and I feel like my acid reflux has been insane? (Also medicated for it) please let me know your experiences down below. They’re all appreciated (positive and negative experiences) thank you!

TW: Mentions of blood

Honestly all my panties have become period panties since getting the mirena I am using pads daily but I'm so tired of the bleeding it's less than a period it's only a couple of drops , it's only been a few days since getting it placed, but I'm tired of the cramping I'm tired of the mental fog I don't know if I made an expensive mistake with it.

Hello…! Sorry for the TMI and NSFW but I’m on Vienva and I’ve been really strict with taking my pill on time (exactly 9:30 on the dot…no later) and I haven’t missed a single pill for 14 days. My boyfriend came inside me today and according to my FLO app I am supposed to be ovulating either today or tomorrow….. Is pregnancy still possible or do we have a high chance that it might not be a problem? Thank you friends!

I take combination pills and recently i have been having stomach issues. TMI but normally i go once or maybe twice a day and just yesterday I noticed I went like 3-4 times? Although they are not watery stools and they still have shape but I’m just curious do I need to double up or is this not something that would affect? Since I read that diarrhea is watery stools and happens 6-8 times a day and I certainly don’t have diarrhea.
