They sell cheap pregnancy tests at dollar tree. They’re just as accurate as the expensive ones

That’s normal and it means it’s time to reevaluate your pregnancy prevention plan to something you’re actually comfortable with. What are you using now and what methods have you considered adding?

girl it's ur body, if you'd feel calmer on bc then there's nothing wrong with being on it. myself and everyone else i knw has zero side effects from bc. the beauty of doing the pill is also that if u DO have weird side effects, u can switch to a different one.

i highly recommend the ring. i switched from the patch bc i was reacting to the adhesive, but its low stress low effort. you put it in 7 days after you removed your last, and let it chill up there for 3 week, then remove and repeat

i’ve been on the pill to help with my periods for almost 3 years and i haven’t experienced much side effects! i had to change which pill after a year for unrelated reasons, and the two pills were slightly different (1st one i had no period at all, 2nd one i still get it but less flow and pain than without). i’m on a combo pill so it’s less sensitive to what time i take it every day, though i haven’t had unprotected sex so i would probably be more strict if i started to. talk to ur dr if u can!

Ur bf can’t decide what u wanna do to keep urself safe- honestly if hes so scared abt side effects he should get a vasectomy and wear condoms every time he hits it
