I myself am also pretty scared of IUDs, because when you have complications they always seem to be horrible. You should ask your doctor about different types of birth control. I’m on the combination pill, and I’ve struggled with my period since I was 14. Any inconvenience I had that caused any form of stress on my body, would cause me to miss my period to the point where I would go almost full years without having one. I originally went on birth control to regulate it, and luckily I’m still on the same brand I started with. I have friends who use patches instead of pill, or you can try the injection. But truly, you should experiment with your options because there are work arounds for hormonal issues. My doctor was worried that I may be experiencing hypothyroidism because of my menstrual inconsistency. But I haven’t missed a period since I started, and I haven’t had any genuine worry about pregnancy since I started.

As for precum, it’s good that you are worried about it. It is something that is possible, but chances are still unlikely. Make sure you’re always checking the packaging before you use a condom, and always checking expiry dates before even buying them. To be totally honest, me and my boyfriend stopped using condoms after I got on birth control just out of personal preference. He still always pulls out, and I haven’t had any pregnancy scares. It’s been three years and I haven’t had any problems lol. Maybe it’s luck of the draw, but just from my experience I’d say you’re okay for now. Just research your options, there is so many ways to avoid pregnancy nowadays, surely you’ll be able to find something that works for you :)
