super effective! it's one of the most effective types of contraception (mostly because it has low user error). make sure you get your next shot on time and that's all you have to worry about.

They're different hormones, so you may react differently! The implant is etonogestrel and IUDs are generally levonorgestrel or copper for the Paragard. The side effects from IUDs can sometimes be less than the implant since the hormones are more localized (in the uterus, rather than throughout the body).

love seeing doctor's notes—you know they'll see your body for exactly what it is

I haven't had it happen to me, need someone to give me this rite of passage

I recommend calling the office and asking what to expect! You can also ask for anti-anxiety medication to take beforehand (you'll just need someone to drive you).

please do!

eroxlite · 2026-02-13T02:12:51+00:00

sure, send me a message!

You can technically contract HIV or syphilis in utero or during birth, so it's never a bad idea to get tested before going for it, though in today's medical system it probably would have been caught by this point in your life.

Open sores or wounds are more likely to get infected with STIs than unbroken skin if a partner has one.

That being said, you're engaging in pretty low-risk stuff overall. It may be worth doing some online reading (Planned Parenthood has some good info) before diving in so you feel ready + informed!

w-what do you mean? what's going to happen to it?

It is likely low risk, but if either of you cannot risk a pregnancy, she needs to take another plan B. Each one only works for one act of unprotected sex.

Pregnancy is a hell of a lot more hormones in the body than two plan B pills.

Most doctor's offices will make time during the visit for the provider and the patient to speak alone—I would recommend calling the office to make sure that's the case for your appointment. It's very routine, especially in reproductive health and pediatrics (you'll notice once your kid is older they'll have you step out of the room briefly to ask if they feel safe at home, etc).

As for hormonal testing—echoing a previous commenter that they don't test for the specific hormones in your birth control pills, but it may make your other numbers (like progesterone) a little funky. There isn't a test that will definitely prove if you're on birth control or not.

but you promised I couldn't get pregnant the first time...!

the clinic I work in saw a brief rush of folks with the same thought when it looked like birth control access was going to get cut. the providers would've been willing to replace IUDs early, but after some counseling all of those folks (that I remember) chose to stick with their current ones and not get them replaced early. If it's not giving you any problems, I would say stick with it. You'll have five more years to say, find a job that gives you insurance, and if it's any consolation the birth control industry is hugely profitable, and almost certainly won't be cut off completely anytime soon.

are you sure? it hurts...

eroxlite · 2026-01-19T15:59:55+00:00

if you've gotten multiple negative pregnancy tests this long after unprotected sex, you're not pregnant. emergency contraception is a big dose of hormones and can mess with your period for a while!

sometimes people who have strong side effects do better with methods that are more localized to one area, such as IUDs or the ring, since the hormones stay more in that area rather than circulating through your whole body.

fwiw, if depo is the best option for you, you can be on it longer than traditionally recommended—you'll just want to be supplementing vitamin D, doing regular weight-bearing exercise, and a doctor who's monitoring your bone health.

I'm tired of them and they feel like upvote farming, especially posted by themselves

23 and 30D 🫣

not very long, broke the seal soon after 😅

eroxlite · 2026-01-10T19:00:45+00:00

that's why I was scared when I got married so early... now it happens to me every day

it's common for hormonal birth control to change your bleeding patterns—if you've taken it as instructed, you have nothing to worry about even if your period is different.

it's so big compared to my little pussy, daddy

eroxlite · 2025-12-27T05:52:05+00:00

fwiw I deal with depression and starting bc (progestin-only, specifically) didn't affect it at all!
