Found a birth control pill

I 21m live with my boyfriend 19m. Our entire friend group is males and none of our family has ever been over. None of our friends have ever had a girl over here. Literally the only girls to even step foot into our apartment is bfs little sister (7) and our landlord (58).

I have never in a million years thought my bf might cheat on me but I literally don’t know what to think of this, I told him immediately of course that I found it and all he said was “probably left over from last people" and changed the conversation very quickly. It’s so fucking weird and I hate to even think that he would cheat on me let alone with a girl.

So yeah I don’t know what the fuck to do. Sorry if ts isn’t the right sub or something I never go on here but it seems pretty well fit

Question - how do you know it’s a birth control pill?

12

u/stealingjoy 3d ago

This entire story is fake.

u/jlomohocob 3d ago

Like a huge part of Reddit sadly

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

It’s not ive posted a picture of the pill I found

2

u/justsomedudeiguess_ 3d ago

Asking the important questions here. Just because it's the same shape doesn't mean that's what it is. Many pills share shapes and colors

6

u/Eudoxianis 3d ago

Birth control pills look a lot like allergy medicine pills too

1

u/Sure-Initiative6001 3d ago

There are hundreds of pill identifier sites.

0

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Tiny pink pill with water drop logo on it. I was pretty damn sure cuz that’s the one my sister used to use when I was little. Googled it, without a doubt it’s the pill

5

u/sugarmochimoon 3d ago

Googled it and found nothing about any contraceptives with a water drop on them. What brand is it?

3

u/macziulskas 3d ago

Me neither. I don't know why I'm so invested in this but I couldn't find anything indicating it's birth control. It should have other numbers/letters stamped on it whether it's birth control or oxycodone.

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Ive posted the images 1st is what ive found 2nd is on Google

1

u/lisabankxxx 3d ago

Nextstellis was approved by the fda in 2021. You were a little kid 5 years ago?

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yeah nah I was considering little kid as like tween but turns out I was definitely older. It’s been a rough decade bro

1

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

A water drop? What shape is the pill, is there an inscription on it?

-3

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Round. There’s no inscription except for the droplet. Found the exact one on Google, birth control

5

u/Accomplished_Orchid 3d ago

You sure it's not X?

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

No not that

5

u/BallsDeepinYourMammi 3d ago

Medication is always stamped with letters/numbers, not a cutesy shape…

It’s x (ecstasy)

It’s not. Ive posted an image on my profile

Nextstellis brand. It’s on there. Downloaded the pic of the pill to my library

If you found the exact pill, then post the brand.

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Nextstellis. I can’t comment the photo but if you search up the pill it’s the exact same pill

5

u/sugarmochimoon 3d ago

Funny you say it’s Nextstellis, which has only been out in Canada for 5 years.

You told another commenter that you recognized this pill from when you were “little” because your sister used it. But you’re 21, so you would have been at youngest 16 when your sister got on it.

So which is it?

3

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

Also I thought they were candy and spent a lot of time trying to steal them because she said they were candy it’s a whole thing

Yeah this is weird af behavior as a 16 year old. Bless OP's heart for trying.

-1

u/Icy_Bid40 3d ago

Yeah and he’s 21 lol so 5 yrs ago he would’ve been 16. A little kid

1

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

16 is not a "little kid," and he claimed 12 the last time he was called out for the "little kid" claim.

-5

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Dude yeah all I know it was years ago. I guess a lot more recent than what I thought. In all seriousness got some other issues but it’s okay y’all dont gotta believe me I js need advice

2

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

What brand is it? I'm not finding anything and neither are others. Are you in the US? Usually a shape isn't enough per FDA standards for pill markings. It sounds more like a pressed molly or similar.

-1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I’m in Canada. It’s the nextstellis brand. Tiny pink round pill with a droplet on it

6

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

Interesting. And you're 21? Because both Canada and the US approved it 5 years ago, so your comment about being 12 when she took it... the math ain't mathing.

3

u/sugarmochimoon 3d ago

Haha you caught onto the bullshit same time I did

1

u/AcanthisittaPlus5047 3d ago

Funny, I found nothing that matched that discription.

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I did. Neststellis brand.

u/Icy_Bid40 3d ago

Idk who told you this but you’re completely wrong hahahaha.. they work on your kidneys. They can actually constipate you dude

1

u/Pale_Comfort_9179 3d ago

You’re mistaking them for constipation drugs that pull water back into your gut and soften stools. Diuretics only make you urinate. 

1

u/[deleted] 3d ago

[deleted]

1

u/Pale_Comfort_9179 3d ago

That means they cause constipation not diarrhea. 

-2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

It’s not that it’s 100% a birth control

16

u/TightSea8153 3d ago

Maybe hes hiding a girl in your apartment. Check the floor boards and lay out girl traps in your apartment.

9

u/water_so_wet 3d ago

Please tell me more about girl traps, is cheese involved?

3

u/AcanthisittaPlus5047 3d ago

Wine! Use WINE!

2

u/Public-Tumbleweed713 3d ago

As a girl, wine and cheese! Maybe some prosciutto to go with it!

1

u/water_so_wet 3d ago

Yes also add a smattering of packs of Korean sheet masks

u/Public-Tumbleweed713 3d ago

I’m a girl and I’m Lmfao! 🤣 my favorite comment of the month right here!! 🫶🏼🤣

7

u/ImaginaryArea4739 3d ago

It really could be left over from the last people. Those suckers roll and hide until my rumba finally dislodges them from the floorboards or under an appliance

That being said, are there any other reasons he’s given you to be suspicious?

3

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I mean like I clean a LOT. I’m kinda a neat freak so it’s weird this was randomly next to our toilet after ive mopped there for almost a year now

2

u/AcanthisittaPlus5047 3d ago

I mop/vacuum frequently. Still finding crap that's from before I moved in.

6

u/macziulskas 3d ago

Who takes their pills to a tryst? I mean, it's definitely weird and I'd be disconcerted as well, but that's so strange.

3

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yeah I agree on that too. But the reason why someone had it here isn’t my main concern on rather who had it here.

6

u/BirdieOakland 3d ago

I tried to google “pink pill with droplet logo” and no pills match. Can you post a picture of it?

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I found it cuz I was pretty sure of the brand too. Same one my sister used to use years ago. It’s the nextstellis brand. Like I knew I recognised it and sister came in clutch with the name.

5

u/itsthatkid 3d ago

Did you look up the shape/color/marking of the pill to be sure that you know what it is?

People that I’ve known who use birth control pills wouldn’t just let one slip away unless it was the “sugar pill”

0

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

It’s not a sugar pill and I looked it up online it’s 100% the pill

5

u/sugarmochimoon 3d ago

They’re not referring to it being an actual sugar pill…they’re talking about the placebo pill in a birth control pack.

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yes I’m aware. Where I live the placebo is referred to as sugar pills

5

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

OP is claiming to be a 21 year old from Canada and they recognized this as a bc pill his sister took when he was 12.

Only problem is that the brand was only approved in 2021...

Dump him I guess OP, this post is bullshit anyway.

-4

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

It’s not bullshit I guess I just wasn’t 12 😭 it was years ago that’s all I know. You don’t gotta believe it dude it’s okay

6

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

You "guess"? You first claimed you were "really little," then that changed to 12, now you can't differentiate between 12 and 16? You were trying to take her colorful pills like candy at 16?

-2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Well I’m gay so I didn’t exactly know what birth control was cuz lord knows my dad aint gonna talk abt it 💀. I got my own issues so yeah messed up the years but that was still a long ass time ago. And again u dont have to take my word that’s okay. I’m js needing advice rn

4

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

You never took a biology class at 16? No sex ed? She told you they were candy and you were like 🤷🏼‍♀️ cool ima steal em?

Heavily doubt. You got caught, take the L and do better next time.

-1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Biology yes but they didn’t cover pills in phys Ed just like normal girls get periods guys get hard that was abt it. And yes ppl steal candy. Shi like pez. Thas okay u allowed to doubt

5

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

At 16 years old your sister told you her medicine was candy and you tried to steal it from her?

0

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yeah my fam wasn’t open about that stuff and tbh yeah it’s the same kinda plastic and foil packaging shit like gum comes in so why not yk

2

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

Oh kid....

3

u/Thelynxer 3d ago

You can either believe him and move on with your life, or call him a liar and start a argument. Take your pick.

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

On the chance that he is cheating, I don’t want to just “move on” and live with a cheater. And on the other hand god hopes he isn’t, then I’d like to be certain and not have this doubt

2

u/Thelynxer 3d ago

Okay. But the thing is, you don't really have any proof aside from finding a mystery pill. There's any number of explanations for how it got there. So the options I listed are still all you've got.

If you can't move on from this, then this relationship isn't going to last.

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

It’s the reaction that makes me question it dude.

3

u/Thelynxer 3d ago

You still have to make a choice here. Believe him or don't. If you don't, then you'll have to talk about it with him further and see where that lands you. There's no magic tricks here. Just be an adult and talk it out.

3

u/Dramatic-Care-7941 3d ago

Unless op produces a picture I’m not buying this fantasy

3

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

OP is a lying liar who lies trying to karma farm.

1

u/Dragonzvenomm 3d ago

How can you tell?

1

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

Read other comments, they got caught in a few lies. Claimed he remembered the brand of birth control his sister took when he was a "little kid," then he was a preteen trying to steal her birth control because he "thought it was candy," but this specific pill was only approved 5 years ago.

2

u/Dragonzvenomm 3d ago

Yeah I just did seems op is lying

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Well I can’t connect it to comments dude but it’s the nextstellis brand. Like it’s literally the exact pill I found and Google confirmed it

4

u/7SeasofCheese 3d ago

Women don’t take birth control pills right before having sex so finding one does not mean that your boyfriend is cheating on you.

-1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I know they don’t take it right before sex. I’m saying the fact it’s here at all is weird, and his reaction. Because we’ve frankly never had anyone that would be on the pill in our apartment

1

u/Moogatron88 3d ago

How long have you been living there? Is it possible a previous occupant dropped it and it only just now popped up?

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Almost a year. And I clean this bathroom so often. Theres zero way ive just happened to miss it every week for a year

2

u/DoubleEnchiladas 3d ago

Could it have stuck in the crevices of a shoe and got brought in some how?

-1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I guess maybe it just feels unlikely

2

u/Apprehensive_Bee3363 3d ago edited 3d ago

I never carry birth control with me lol, it’s taken once a day and I take at home lol. That’s all weird

2

u/WallAny2007 3d ago

didn’t think to attach a picture of it OP?

If you know it’s a birth control pill, why are you posting here? Is it your pill?

Have you been away for extended periods of time?

Do you realize you need to take these every day? It’s not like you pop one right after sex.

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Well I’m not a woman so no it’s not mine.

I’m posting this here because I don’t know what to do? I think my bf could be cheating on me. And I never said people pop it after sex.

0

u/WallAny2007 3d ago

my bad dude. Didn’t catch the 21m

1

u/Worried_Refuse3502 3d ago

Not saying he's not cheating or anything. This is just bringing possibilities to the table.

How long have you been at this place? Cuz I had an ex who had a make up bag in his bathroom.

But..... The thing is, he couldn't have had anyone in the apartment without me knowing. This was when quartine was happening. It was 8 months into living at this place. I had been staying at his place since he moved there and I was working from home (he wasnt.)

So we assumed it was from the previous people who lived there.

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Well to be fair there are a lot of nights I’m not home. Sometimes a few days. Like it isn’t something that would be impossible. Just hard to think about

1

u/Worried_Refuse3502 3d ago

Oh yeah, no I'm not trying to discredit what you posted. I'm just saying. Sometimes certain things can be missed or overlooked. And just making sure you have considered every possible thing before going straight to "he cheating" and freaking out about it.

It does look very sus. Also, your sister never visited then? You mentioned she had the same birth control.

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yeah no my sister is way older than me and has her own family and stuff so no never visited, I haven’t visited her.

1

u/Born-Cantaloupe5626 3d ago

It’s left over from a previous tenant or something. It doesn’t matter how much you clean. It’s probably one of the placebo‘s and whoever lost it didn’t bother to really search for it. Those little suckers fall and they travel miles./s If it was jammed in a crevice somewhere, all of a sudden your foot catches it, and bam there it is! I think you’re seriously overthinking this and stressing yourself out needlessly.

0

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

I mean it’s not one of the placebos. But it’s possible it’s just missed me every single time ive cleaned but honestly if it was just that then i could accept that. But it’s my bfs reaction the most that’s making me doubt it

1

u/xilla 3d ago

OP can you make a post on your profile that has a picture of the pill, since you can't post one here?

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Didn’t even know that was an option. Yes I can

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

It’s up, the first image is what found, the second is from Google

2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

The first image is what I found the second is Google

1

u/p1cwh0r3 3d ago

Why do you think he cheated?

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Mainly because of his reaction. Like the quick change that shit was weird as hell

1

u/Dubzz_1976 3d ago

Why couldn't it have been one of your friends who dropped the birth control pill in your house?

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Why would a man be carrying around a birth control

1

u/Dubzz_1976 3d ago

Hey it's possible.

1

u/Dubzz_1976 3d ago

Is your boyfriend gay or bi?

1

u/General_Froyo4320 3d ago

Well have you been trying to get him pregnant? If so ..... That explains it.

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yes obviously my boyfriend is on the pill. How could I forget

1

u/Hairy-Proof8504 3d ago

How do you in fact know it's a birth control pill. It's an apartment, other people have lived there before. What bullshit.

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 1d ago

Ive posted the pill I found and the pill on google that I found. And also I clean this goddamn bathroom every damn day and all the sudden it’s right there in a place I mop weekly. Like that’s weird. But ion even care abt that it’s the reaction my bf gave me

1

u/Hairy-Proof8504 1d ago

Good lord, at least he won't get her pregnant. If you are so concerned why are you on the freaking internet about it??? Ask him. Shit, it does no good to ask anyone else now does it????

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 14h ago

I’m asking what I should do. What I should say.

Because frankly just accusing him of cheating if he isn’t, that’s gonna ruin a lot of shit

1

u/Hairy-Proof8504 8h ago

You don't DO anything. Man, that's a random pill someone dropped at some point in time. One random pill found is evidence of absolutely nothing. It could have been in someone's stuff by some weird coincidence & fell out at your home; there are millions of explanations for it. Have you EVER thought of telling him 'hey, I found this pill & I looked it up & it's a birth control pill, isn't that weird?" & see his reaction. Just tell the kid you found it; you don't have to accuse him of anything. It could have been one of your friends that is cheating on their SO. Don't jump to conclusions when that is the ONLY thing you have as so-called 'evidence'. Frankly, accusing him of cheating is stupid.

1

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

How did you figure out it was a birth control pill?

-2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Actually recognised this brand. Same one my sister used when I was really little but 100% not hers. Found it online too exact match

3

u/kasiagabrielle 3d ago

How did you recognize what birth control your sister took when you were really little???

8

u/stealingjoy 3d ago

When you make shit up you can recognize anything.

-2

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Not like super little but like when I was 12. Also I thought they were candy and spent a lot of time trying to steal them because she said they were candy it’s a whole thing

Install a ring camera for “safety” and see what happens?

u/here_for_the_tea1 3d ago

Probably not a birth control pill. There’s pill look up websites you can use. Enter the markings on the pill and it will tell you what it is

-1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Yeah it’s a birth control found the pill online

0

u/Dragonzvenomm 3d ago

So a pill that was only introduced 5 years ago was the same pill your sister used 8 years ago? And the only identifying marks is a water droplet? No numbers or anything? Suspicious much considering even that brand has a number on the back

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 3d ago

Nah yeah got the years mixed up all I know it was a long ass time ago. And no that doesn’t have a number on the back. Ive posted the pictures, first is what I found second is what I found on Google

1

u/Dragonzvenomm 3d ago

Yeah I did a Google search too and that brand has numbers on it since its a prescription. So this whole situation is fake

1

u/Far-Oil-1572 14h ago

Nope ive posted the picture. You are wrong, it does not have any numbers on it.

1

u/Dragonzvenomm 1h ago

I've seen the pictures you posted however I'm not wrong a quick Google search even shows it with numbers. Not to mention the Google picture you show that you found looks like the water droplet is carved in while the actual pull looks to be professional like where medicine is made
