Hi there,

I accidentally touched my cervix when checking for the paragard iud strings and it hurt a little, the strings are in place but since I touched the cervix, is there a chance I dislodged it? Or is this a non issue?

Thanks!

What is the effectiveness rate of having sex on day 26 of a 28 day cycle plus using the withdrawal method? If I used a pregnancy test the morning after, would it be accurate? We only had sex once this month

What is the effectiveness rate of having sex on day 26 of a 28 day cycle plus using the withdrawal method? If I used a pregnancy test the morning after, would it be accurate? We only had sex once this month.

How safe of a method is this?

Hey there,

after reading the article about what the percentages are for every sexual act, i have a question: It says that the withdrawal method is 96% effective, but does that take into account/consideration if the man has urinated since his last ejaculation?

Yes i read this, it says "aren't likely to" regarding penis to hand to vulva. What does "aren't likely to" mean? 0% chance?

Hey there, I was reading the "dry humping freak out" article and it really opened my eyes since I never had any formal sex Ed classes so I am very thankful for that! I am confused about one thing though, it says in the article: “They [sperm] need the properties of semen in order to move. A...

Ok great, so the only explanation for this spotting can be the pill right? If not, what other explanations are there?

Thanks!

Is it possible to rule out pregnancy since I just had my period 6 days ago and I have not had sex since then?

Oh ok so basically since I am up to date on my tests, the only explanation for this spotting is the pill then right? I just had my period last week so it can't be pregnancy right?

When I was at planned parenthood 2 months ago they tested me for STDs but I'm not sure about STIs. Would I know if I had an STI?

I shouldn't be worried about this affecting my regular bleeding at the end of the month right? This bleeding is common for girls on the pill?

Ok thanks!

If it doesn't stop after a certain point should I talk to my doctor? Is it bad to have spotting?

Hey everyone, I have been on my combination pill levora for a full two months now and I experience either brown or red small spotting once or twice during weeks 1,2, or 3. (I have my regular bleed every month during week 4)., is this normal for birth control pill users to have spotting during the ac...

Ok, so my pamphlet says this regarding one missed pill: "take it as soon as you remember. Take your next pill at regular time. This may mean having two pills in one day." So if I missed my pill on Thursday that I regularly take everyday at 9:58 pm, and I didn't remember until the day after...

No I haven't because the pill is very effective. Can someone help me regarding my post?

^Bump?

This is why I posted on the other forum as well Johanna since I am not getting help..

Sorry yes I am up to date I just had my appointment at planned parenthood 2 months ago

Yes I am up to date. No I didn't take a break, and I had the discharge only after I started the new pill, and then I got my period. Then about a week after my period ended I saw the discharge again. I only saw it twice so far and only after sex

I have been on levora for a month and a half so far, after changing from tri sprintec which I was previously on for 7 months. The discharge is only after I have intercourse and it's not a lot, but I'm just wondering if this is normal? The discharge is around the beginning-middle of my cycle. Can thi...

Ok thanks.

So brown discharge can also be called spotting? I only notice it after intercourse, not when I use the bathroom or anything..is that normal?

Can you get an STI even if both my partner and I have not slept with any other people? How does someone get an STI?

^bump?

I have been doing a lot of reading and it seems as if it is very common for women to experience brown discharge (spotting) during their cycle when they first start the pill. I have been on tri sprintec for 7 months and did not get any discharge, I then switched over to a new brand Levora 2 months ag...

I used to be on a stronger combination pill for 7 months, then I switched to a lower dose one that I'm currently on for almost 2 months now, I switched due to nausea. So that's common when switching pills? so I should not think it has anything to do with pregnancy?

I've noticed since I've been on my new birth control pill I've been having brown discharge after I have inter course with my boyfriend, is that something to worry about?

Is that because the pill goes directly to the stomach and other methods do not?


Oh ok so the one I missed on Thursday I ended up taking it the next day on Friday, three hours before the one I took at my normal time, so I took two in one day, so it seems as if I should be fine.
