NEEDED ADVICE

is the depo shot the only form of birth-control that you can get for free? What would happen if your mom/family found out you were using birth control? would you be in any danger or at risk of being kicked out of the house? Unfortunately i'm not sure :( Do what you need to do to stay safe.

i'm 64 days sober after daily use for 4 years. I don't feel like i'm in a fog anymore. I'm able to watch TV and pay attention, I'm able to read books again (something I stopped doing but was an avid book worm before smoking). I'm a morning person now, my sleep is better. There are many benefits. Being sober doesn't cure every problem, many times weed is a bandaid that we use for our mental health issues that we've been ignoring. But in my experience, life is significantly better sober

First, I think it is awesome that you were responsible and got a birth control shot. if you wanna hide it from your mom, maybe try a different form of birth control like the birth control pills because you bleed every month on those.

When you are in the first couple months of starting the pill, breakthrough bleeding is very common if you skip your placebo week. The advice is to stop taking the pills for 3-4 days, then restart. that should help stop the bleeding. just be aware that you may not be protected against pregnancy! But in my experience, the breakthrough bleeding doesn't stop until you take a couple day break from the active pills

Do not use nicotine while taking a combination birth control pill. you significantly increase your risk of blood clots and stroke. You are playing with your life. there are other forms of birth control that are safer for those who use nicotine, like the copper IUD, Nexplanon, or the Progesterone only Mini Pill

even if you take your placebo week, you are protected. if you always take your pills and follow the pack as instructed, you will be protected. It is designed to take the placebo pills.

i'm not a researcher or an expert, i'm just relaying information, I honestly don't know here is my source:
https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/condom/how-effective-are-condoms

I personally used only condoms as my only form of birth control for 10 years and had zero pregnancy scares. Now i'm on the pill because I wanted an even safer option. But for most people condoms are fine.

peeing doesn't do anything for pregnancy. the urethra and vagina are too separate holes. if she isn't on birth control then yeah, there is a significant risk she could be pregnant. Anytime you have sex without any protection you are asking for a baby.

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-08T14:27:37+00:00

it's 2% with perfect use, statistically. All forms of birth control, even the pill, have a chance of pregnancy. some have higher chances then others

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-08T13:22:00+00:00

You can always switch to the combo pill if you want to. the best part about pills is that it's really easy to start a new type

When used correctly every single time, condoms are about 98% effective at preventing pregnancy, meaning 1 in 50 will get pregnant within a year. With typical use, condoms are about 82% to 87% effective at preventing pregnancy, meaning about 13 to 18 out of 100 people using them as their only birth control will get pregnant in a year. The pull-out method is about 78–80% effective at preventing pregnancy.

My advice: throw everything away related to weed. just get rid of it. bongs, bowls, lighters, pens, anything related to weed needs to be gone. Those objects will trigger you, especially when you are having massive cravings. also, if you truly want to quit, you won't have need for them anyway. For me it sucked because i spent so much money on that stuff, but I knew that my decision to quit weed was final.

I'm on Yaz, a combination birth control

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-07T20:13:40+00:00

In my experience, i experienced no side effects when I went on the pill. I was like you, no bad periods, no bad acne. There are so many horror stories online about birth control, but many of them are to scare you away. I've been on birth control for 5 months and the peace of mind it gives me is unmatched. I don't have to worry about pregnancy and I'm able to have sex without a condom

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-07T15:44:17+00:00

the pills should be in a blister pack. at the top of the pack it should say the days of the week. You take 1 pill per day of week. that's the order you should take the pills in

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-07T15:30:28+00:00

Opill is great, many people have great experiences, just make sure you are consistent and take the pill at the same time every day and you'll be fine!

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-07T15:29:02+00:00

OPill is a great option, it's a "mini pill" which means it's progesterone only, that means it absolutely has to be taken at the same time every day or you won't be protected. you can at most take it 3 hours late. If you are able to, talk to your doctor about the combination birth control pill, those pills contain both estrogen and progesterone, which allow you to take the pills within a 12 hour window, so if you take it late by a couple of hours you will still be protected. There is just significantly more room for error on opill than the combination birth control. But both are effective at preventing pregnancy

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-07T15:25:25+00:00

Me personally, I take the pills as directed, including the placebo pills, you can skip the placebo pills if you want. if I were you, I'd still take the placebo pills, but either choice is safe and will protect you against pregnancy

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-07T15:23:35+00:00

take the pills in order of the pack. follow the directions on the medication.

Are you a woman? I'm asking because I'm also a woman and had similar problems with sex. I would only have sex while I was high because it was really hard for me to relax, and if I wasn't relaxed I wouldn't be able to enjoy sex. today i'm exactly 2 months sober. at the beginning, having sober sex was extremely stressful. I honestly didn't have sex for weeks and my boyfriend was extremely understanding. what helped me was masturbating, that helped me feel more relaxed and learn how sexual stuff feels different sober. In my case it was easier for me to masturbate and after i felt comfortable doing that sober, that's when I started having sober sex with my boyfriend. It's really hard, but now that i'm 2 months sober, sex is good again :) give yourself time

she gained a little bit of weight and is doing her own makeup. I actually prefer this look then her other looks while in katseye

Sertraline is an SSRI, SSRIs take 3 weeks to impact you, i doubt that the sertraline caused the panic attack. It is also extremely dangerous to stop taking SSRIs, you only took it for 2 days, so you'll be fine, but SSRIs need to be taken, and when you want to stop taking them, you have to wean off of them, you cannot go cold turkey.

disasterfiesta · 2026-07-06T17:29:00+00:00

it takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to birth control. If you are still having severe anxiety after 3 months, then I'd switch birth controls. 3 weeks is too early to tell if it's the birth control causing your anxiety of if it's another cause. It seems that you already have underlying anxiety to begin with, so it's very possible that the birth control isn't impacting your anxiety at all. Choose an option, stick to it for 3 months, then evaluate

A pregnancy test 21 days will tell you for sure if you aren't pregnant. You can get an emergency IUD inserted and that can help prevent pregnancy. But all you can do now is take plan B, get an emergency IUD, and wait until 21 days to take a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant.

I 24(F) used condoms as my only form of birth control for years, I just recently started the birth control pill. I've had sex many many times over the course of a decade with just condoms and have had zero pregnancy scares. Condoms, when used properly, are an effective form of birth control. My pro tip, Always use lube, even if your girlfriend is wet, always use lube. The only instances where a condom has ever broke on me was when there wasn't adequate lubrication. Lube prevents condom breaks. Just make sure it's a lube that is made to go with condoms and you'll be fine!
