Hi Mo, Thanks so much. I have just started a new course and so I think it’s just temporary side effects. I did, foolishly, forget to ask my pharmacist if there is an interaction between antidepressants/nexplanon in terms of decreasing effectiveness. I take Sertraline and have nexplanon, so I’m kind ...

Hi Sam, Thanks so much. I’m feeling less panicked today. I have done, but they just feel like they’re not working at he minute. I’m so homesick, as I’m 200 miles from home at university. I just want to be with my family, so I turn to reassurance seeking. I know I shouldn’t have posted here, as I’m n...

Hi guys, On your advice I’m receiving treatment for my anxiety and I’ve learned to trust my implant more. I do feel better, but I’ve just started a new course of antidepressants which at the moment are sending my anxiety sky high. This has been made worse by the spotting I’ve had the last few days. ...

I think that they are, but I really don’t know where that stigma has come from. I think it’s because, when I was just using condoms, I did have a pregnancy scare and that fear has stuck with me ever since. However, that was in July last year now. I’m just freaking out because so many people say they...

Hi Sam, I’m in therapy (on my third session) and on anti-depressants, and have a very supportive family even though my anxiety focuses on sex and pregnancy. I think I’m so upset today because I’ve had such a good, positive week (the best in a long time) and I feel like today, my boyfriend grabbed my...

Hi guys, I’ve written before over different things, but I’m feeling kinda down right now and just have a question. I have health anxiety and get VERY frustrated with myself when my brain gets hooked on thinking about something. At the minute, I can’t stop thinking about the fact that this morning my...

Hi Sam! Thanks for your help. I suffer with health anxiety, so this week is definitely gonna be a stressful week for me. I know the implant is great and super effective, but what it does to your menstrual cycle is bound to freak me out. Just wanted to get a bit of clarity to show myself I have nothi...

Hi guys, I went ahead and got a contraceptive implant inserted in the fourth day of my period, 25 days ago. I haven’t had penetrative sex with it yet, but I’m planning on using a condom too when I do, for STI reasons. I know that my period is due to start sometime this week, and I’m getting all the ...

Hi guys! Just wanted to say thank you for your help on my 2 previous posts. I’m so sorry but I have another question about something different! I’m really sorry if I’m wasting your time, I just don’t know who to ask Basically my period finally came 33 days after my withdrawal bleed after stopping th...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to me Heather! I really appreciate it. I’ll take the time to check those resources out and go ahead and get my implant inserted sooner.

Oh okay, that’s reassuring thank you! I think I read on your site somewhere that stopping birth control is a lot like starting it and that it can mess your cycles up a little, but I just wanted to check. Does how long you were on birth control affect how irregular your cycles will be? Can I ask one ...

Hi guys! I want to say thank you for answering a question of mine from a few days ago, and I just have another about a different topic. Basically I stopped taking a progesterone mini pill about 32 days ago now after taking it for 5 months, as I wanted to have a natural period before getting the impl...

Hi guys! I’ve read your page on peeing on a stick and it was super useful. However through some googling (which I now realise was silly) I’ve seen some people saying they have never ever gotten a positive pregnancy test even when they were pregnant. How likely is this? I have a weird fear of never k...
