If you used the condom the whole time and it don’t break, you were protected and the Plan B was unnecessary, but won’t hurt. It may have side effects that freak you out though, including cramping and irregular bleeding. Are you interested in a lower maintenance birth control method so you can trust it better?
hey OP poster #1 is really fear mongering and i recommend not taking any of the advice they’re giving birth control is between you and your doctor and if it works for you then yay! if you do take it timely you will likely be completely okay ESPECIALLY if you’re also using a condom! if you don’t use condoms, make sure your s/o pulls out bc even though the bc is meant to stop pregnancy, letting them finish inside makes it way higher risk. i’ve been on bc timely for 5 years having unprotected
it’s really not. if you look at the recent studies between POTS, and other heart issues you will see that there is a strong link between BC and these conditions. it’s the fact that people are OKAY taking stuff that is bioengineered, then wonder why they have all these conditions, that’s why you don’t take drugs from medical corporations. it’s all a money grab, eventually you will have something you have to be seen for, that’s how they make money.
my iud is more than 99% effective😮💨 even tho it’s incredibly unlikely to conceive i have mifepristone and misoprostol in my cabinet. it’s totally reasonable to get on birth control and want to be nut in. birth control is designed and tested to prevent pregnancy even if your partner ejaculates inside you * every time *
it also increases your risk of having an ectopic pregnancy if you get pregnant, so you letting him nut in your even tho you have an IUD is on you lol. btw ectopics can kill you very easily if not found in a reasonable amount of time. you’re literally setting yourself up for pregnancy if you willingly let him nut in you even on bc. pls don’t reproduce with your mindset.
per year, there is less than a 1% chance of me getting pregnant with an IUD, and if I did get pregnant, there’s about a 95% chance it wouldn’t be ectopic. i also take monthly pregnancy tests just to be safe so any pregnancy would be caught very early. for me, that very small risk is worth it to have an enjoyable sex life. i’m sorry if birth control caused problems for you but it’s okay for you to personally be against it without demonizing birth control
Okay so it sounds like you’re currently on a daily pill, which is hard to keep up with. You could try a patch, which is like a sticker that’s changed weekly; a ring, which is like a silicone hairtie that you insert like a tampon and change monthly. And then there are LARCs, which are administered by a healthcare provider. IUDs last 3-10 years, Nexplanon is 5. There’s also the shot, but I wouldn’t jump for that first. Do any of those sound better?
There’s still no need to worry because the condom was your first layer of protection and it didn’t fail, but that pill is one that’s important to take in that +/-3 hour window or effectiveness is compromised. With love, you would def be a good candidate for a lower maintenance method! Lord knows I wouldn’t be able to keep up with a pill either.
Absolutely, but there is no evidence of a failure and the failure rate without a visible break is very low. I always encourage taking a test 21 days after sex for a definitive result. It’s important to balance the reality that nothing is 100% effective with the concurrent reality of the circumstances.
