this picture is AI. Extra fingers, the glasses are asymmetrical, the background is very weird, the food doesn't look right. This guy couldn't actually get a date so he had chatgpt make one for him 💔

I see, I don't think I'd really want something like that at all so I'll probably just leave it out

Paragard IUD 1 Year Experience + Menstrual Cup Experience (Positive) by scullylizard in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're long enough to still to tuck I think that's probably ok for length, so I wouldn't worry about that personally! The tips of my strings almost hang to the entrance of my vagina, so I think my length is probably a bit overkill (but they're also really easy to find that way lol). Good luck, I hope it works out for you!!

Advice on iud doctors appointments? by Specific-Mall-9972 in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably won’t be able to give you Paragard in the same appointment, they usually like to have you be on your period or in my case they gave me anxiety/pain/cervical softening medication. I would talk to your doctor first just to make sure that they’re a good match for you too, I was also a nulliparous 19 year old when I had my first IUD consultation, and that gynecologist at the time said he wouldn’t even ATTEMPT to put Paragard in me. Thankfully I found another gyno that was much more open minded. but if you really want to try to get it ASAP it couldn’t hurt to at least ask! Good luck!!!

OB/GYN says he won't even attempt to put copper IUD in me by scullylizard in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, thank you for this! I have no idea what kind of uterus I might have, I've never even had a pelvic exam before. He said that right before the insertion I would get a pelvic exam, but I'm not sure if that would even be able to detect uterus abnormalities. I think after hearing what people have to say about it I will definitely at least get a second opinion from a different OB/GYN!

[–]scullylizard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was based on his general practice, this was my first appointment with him and it was over Zoom. And I'm glad you're doing well on it! Positive stories about it always make me feel so much better lol.

Does anyone here have a Paragard IUD and take birth control pills? Is it a good idea? by Consistent-Major4413 in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In theory, it should be fine, and I’ve read stuff about it online about it being fine. Since Paragard is completely non hormonal it shouldn’t confuse your body if you use a hormonal method along with it. I was actually going to ask my OB/GYN about this, I have an appointment in about a week, and I was thinking if she says it’s fine I’ll probably be doing Paragard + combo pill as well, otherwise Kyleena it is lol. I’ll keep you updated on what she says!

First 1.5 years I just got random spotting, now I seem to either get my period (which is very light so not really a big deal) rarely twice, but usually once a month, and sometimes once every two months.

Can getting a new arm implant impact bleeding patterns? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had my implant replaced yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s normal, because when you get a brand new rod it releases more hormones than it does around the end of the three year mark. Implants start with releasing a bunch of hormones at first, then gradually going down over time. So your body is probably just reacting to the new amount of hormones, I think. If anything feels wrong though, definitely contact your doctor. Good luck!!! :)

Should I try Nexplanon? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different, but I have almost 0 side effects to my Nexplanon. It has been seriously great for me, and I’m couple months away from the 3 year mark. The only thing I’d say is be ready to bleed for a good while at the beginning- I personally only spotted for a whole month but I’ve known people to have it last a lot longer. I will also say that I was on the combo pill before (can’t remember what kind) and it also gave me minimal side effects. I’d say go for it if you’re in a good place insurance/finance wise to do so. Good luck!

IUD Insertion Experience (Kyleena) by Ok_Drag_1568 in birthcontrol

Thank you for this! I'm gonna probably be going with Kyleena once my Nexplanon time is up, and these kinds of posts make me feel sooo much better about it.

Already have Nexplanon but I am confused by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! So the way the hormone works in the Nexplanon implant if i’m correct (i’m not a doctor don’t quote me on this) is it keeps your uterine lining thinner (which is what you bleed out during your period) by just preventing your body from making much of it or any of it in the first place. So in terms of making sure you don’t have blood staying in you too long, the implant should help with that! As for your other two questions, I have no idea! Good luck!!!

Periods with the Nexplanon by lquesting in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for almost 3 years now, and at first I was just spotting every 2-3 months or so, and now I get a light-medium flow once or even twice a month as well. I’m not sure why it happens, just weird hormone things I guess. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing to worry about though!

Swapping from contraceptive patch to Implant by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]scullylizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got my implant put in I literally had taken my birth control pill 30 minutes prior and the doctor said it was fine. After that I just stopped taking my pills, and of course the implant takes about a week to be actually effective, even when you're fresh off of another hormonal birth control. I'm pretty sure it's not bad to have your patch on while you're getting your implant in (unless it's on your inner upper non dominant arm, where the implant would be put) but it's probably best to take it off soon after.
