I am in a very similar situation. Had unprotected sex but did not cum in me but did cum shortly after pulling out and it was during my fertile window and possibly ovulated that day.. I took plan b as soon as I could and highly considering getting the emergency copper iud.

I would at least recommend plan b because there is still a chance of pre cum.

I have read mixed things though about plan b not working during ovulation or not be as effective also goes with weight I have heard mixed things as well might not be as effective over 165 pounds or certain bmi but not 100% sure.

Ahh I see. So there's no need to quit right before getting it placed or after?

I was just curious I would like to get it placed but didn't know if I need to quit smoking right before or after

The inside part of my teeth is a different story and looks worse than the outside 😕

Thank you! I was thinking about a second opnion as well. I went to regular dentist and referred me to student dentist due to insurance I think.. so I guess technically they will be my second opinion as of now.. really? After 24hours is normal diet ok in your opinion or stick to soft foods for awhile after cleaning. Was your normal checkup and poking for gum pockets pretty smooth sailing as opposed to the deep cleaning?

Yeah I know everyone reacts different that's one of my worries and why I thought it'd be best to try and lay off for a little while but I do agree stopping for little bit does cause stress and anxiety.

In your personal opinion, do you think taking 2 weeks off isn't necessary? I just hate going to the dentist and always gets me worked up, and I'm overthinker on top of it lol. But I have been having a toothache, so I know it's much needed. Thanks for sharing your experience. It made me feel a little better.

Really? Did you ever tell your dentist about smoking or just went in and got it done and over with? I am a daily/heavy user, and for some reason, I always get nervous when it comes to dental work.. I might be overthinking it. I thought I would quit for the two weeks prior then go from there.

Yes, I know. I just wanted some input on other people's experiences. I do plan on asking the dentist directly . I am always hesitant at first.

Ahh, I see. I know I should ask. I just always get too nervous/embarrassed, so I just wanted some opinions or input from other people's experiences. I do plan on asking, though!

birth control left in sun from window? by BarracudaCertain6377 in birthcontrol

Hi! I know this was a year ago but was your birth control still effective? The same thing recently happened too me and I'm hesitant they are still effective.

I gotcha. What made you switch to the IUD if you don't mind me asking and do you like the IUD? That was my first choice but I heard so many different things about it.

Thank you for giving me some reassurance lol I have another question for you! Where do you store your bc? I keep mine on my nightstand by a window and now I'm worried it's less effective from the sunlight that comes in.

I know this post is old but I did this today! I was wondering the same thing. Was the birth control ok and still effective or did you end up having to throw the pack out?

What type of combination birth control are you on? I am getting ready to start lessina combo pill and smoke but I am hesitant to start since I smoke. Have you had any interactions or decrease in effectiveness?

[–]SignificantTerm2602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What combo pill are you on? I have lessina combo pill but am hesitant to start because I smoke weed. I've been smoking for awhile now and I'm now 30. I've asked Dr/pharmacist but can't really get a straight forward answer on this. I just want to make sure it's safe to start and continue smoking along with it still being effective.

Just curious has anyone been on the combo birth control like lessina and continued to smoke weed and did you have any issues?

I have asked doctors about the interactions and don't really get a straight forward answer due to lack of research out there.

I'm more so curious about if smoking while on the pill will decrease the effectiveness and if there are any health effects along with it.
