This is definitely something we can talk about in the future, after this recent scare me and him agreed to use condoms (and lube, to keep it from tearing) the whole time. My question here is, do I have to take a pregnancy test? I have a lot of anxiety around the idea pregnancy in general, because of...

Hi! Thanks for the response, I had never skipped the placebo pills before and only this two times I have not taken them correctly. I have had sex with my boyfriend after that, not a lot of times because of long distance but we did. We usually start off without condoms to get him started but always u...

Hi! I’ve been on the pill since 2020. Didn’t get any withdrawal bleeding in all of 2022 and almost all of 2023. November, October and September of 2023 I had a pretty heavy flow (almost like an actual period) and some bad cramps. I started the pill chart early in November (I was still bleeding, only...

Hey! Just another follow up, I did ended up buying some new lubes and we are very excited to start using them, lube definately is going to be a must to us from now on to not risk another broken condom. Another thing, the day after that brownish discharge I continued to have (very little) discharge i...

Hi! Thanks for the answer 😊 I would love if you could please link those articles about lube, would help me very much. About the pregnancy test, I think doing it maybe would be worse because I’ve had had moments in the past where I would obsessively test even with no actual chance of pregnancy (I do ...

Thanks for the article!
Do you think I should buy a pregnancy test just in case or really there are no signs here that this could be the case with me?
Also, about the first problem I brought up in this thread- the broken condom.
How could I prevent it from happening again?

Thank you for the response! Sorry if I sounded a little harsh or confusing english is not my first language. The discharge just happened, I don't know if it will continue throughout the day or not. I haven't experiend any type of pain or anything different what so ever, just the discharge. I have no...

Hi! Sorry, I think that I wasn't clear on my question. The discharge (supposed withdraw bleeding) was unexpected because I didn't had any bleeding during placebo pills for all of last year (2022). My worry is not about the bleeding not coming, but about it coming only this time after so long and the...

Hi! After I posted this I did ended up taking the plan B just to be safe. Is been almost exactly three weeks, I just started my new pill chart today after the four days of placebo pills and noticed some brownish jelly-like discharge. Should I be worried? I used to get some withdraw bleeding from the...

Hi! This is very urgent, I was literally just having sex with my boyfriend (I am on the pill and we were using a condom). He finished inside me (with the condom on) and when he took it off we noticed that it had broke very badly and basically didn’t had its tip anymore. When I got up this gooey pink...

Hey Carly, do you think I should retake the pregnany test today just to be sure or would that only make me more anxious?

Thank you for the response! First, how would the heat damage look like on the pills? I don't get withdraw bleeding in between pill charts. The placebo pills start this 15th and are going to end in the 18th. The test I took was on the first day of a new pill chart after the 4 placebo pills of the las...

Oh, and I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but I had some mild cramping for three days recently. It could have been from constipation, but it really felt similar to period pains.

Hi! I recently ran across a tweet that said that leaving the pill chart in hot cars would cause them to lose their effectiveness. Since I go to my internship at the time I take the pills I always leave them in my car (I live in a city where it is common for temperatures to be higher than 86ºF) so I ...
