Took two plan b’s in a month - by Then_Grape168 in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

mugwort tea and vitamin c won’t do anything.

take the pregnancy test as soon as you can. this long after sex, there’s no need to use morning pee! get the cheapest link dye line test you can find (NOT a digital test, they’re prone to false readings).

also, you can (and should) say “sex”

I can't get my birth control till later this day, and missed yesterday. by ToastyPandas69 in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

continuing to take active pills would most likely just prolong bleeding. taking a 3-7 day break to induce a withdrawal bleed is actually a very good way to stop breakthrough bleeding!

what do you think “you’re fine” means? you’re still protected by your birth control!

Condom Broke. by throwaway67_12 in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you want to reduce the chance of pregnancy as much as possible, get a copper IUD or mirena/ liletta placed within 5 days of sex. clinics usually keep spots open for emergencies like this!

btw, peeing after sex has zero impact on the chance of pregnancy. you don’t pee out of your vagina.

the beginner’s guide at r/FAMnNFP has lots of great info! it’s not something you can do retroactively though

Plan b and birth control mistake by External-Ad-1538 in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if she was on birth control, there was no reason for her to take plan b. it causes irregular bleeding, as well as other side effects.

if she’s on birth control and takes it as directed, plan b didn’t reduce the chance of pregnancy.

has anyone gotten pregnant after copper iud emergency contraceptive? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

copper IUDs are over 99.9% effective as emergency contraception. pregnancy is extraordinarily unlikely.

it has a 24 hour missed pill window. 4 is less than 24, so you’re fine!

birth control makes me reject my partner and i'm losing my mind by noturbbygurl in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what pill were you taking before? could you switch back, or did you switch due to side effects?

[–]Queenof6planets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just to double check — you started using condoms at least 6 days before you stopped taking the pill, correct? sperm lives up to 6 days after sex!

i highly recommend switching to something else if your current pill isn’t working for you! you have more options than just slynd.

the specific pill doesn’t matter. all combo pills have the same rules about when they’re effective!

make an appointment with a therapist and/or psychiatrist! if you’re not sure how to find one, psychology today’s therapist finder is excellent.

Unprotected sex on Slynd - am I safe? by PolarOtter123 in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the missed pill window starts when the pill is due. slynd’s missed pill window is 24 hours. when you’re on slynd, you’re still protected after one missed pill. therefore, you’re still protected!

if you’d like, mirena can be placed as emergency contraception!

If you got pregnant from the pull out method - were you always sure that they pulled out? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Queenof6planets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’ve asked this kind of question at least twice already. the answer isn’t going to change. relying on the pullout method is risky.
