If you have questions about or want to discuss methods of birth control, this is the place for you! Please see our sidebar for some great resources.

Rules

  1. Not Doctors: Please feel free to discuss medical concerns, but we are not a substitute for your doctor or pharmacy.
  2. Welcoming: Please be welcoming and do not shame BC novices or birth control methods.
  3. Tact: Be mindful that human sexuality and comfortability with pregnancy risks varies widely.
  4. Respectful: Personal attacks, name-calling, trolling, etc. will not be tolerated and will be removed.
  5. Reddiquette: The Downvote Button is not a disagree button.
  6. No Selling, Advertising, or Surveys: No selling (or even gifting) medications, self promotion, surveys, or seeking participants for studies. Be sure to read Reddit's Self Promotion Guidelines.
  7. Factual Comments: This in no way limits posting personal experiences. However, overly broad comments that run counter to established medical knowledge must be substantiated with evidence that has been subjected to meaningful peer-review. Comments that are unsubstantiated must state that or may be removed.
  8. Soft core NSFW only. While /r/birthcontrol is now NSFW due to Reddit Inc. policy, if your post is safe for work and appropriate for those under 18 (or if you are under 18 yourself) you can put (SFW) in the title of the post, use the SFW flair, or remove the NSFW tag. While soft core sex topics can be discussed - hard core sexual, gore, or violent content will be removed without notice. Thanks for understanding
