Hi again, I do feel like referring back to the facts has made me feel a lot better. I guess what I mostly wanted to approach y'all with is just ways to try and make sure I don't feel it again when I am physical with someone in the future. I guess just refer back to those facts and make sure we have ...

I haven't really talked to anyone in an official capacity, although I've discussed just referring back to possibly yalls articles or things I know to be true in order to deal with them when they pop up. I feel like if I walk through things with myself I am able to be rational and know it's not real,...

Hello, I would say that the majority of the time I'm a very rational person, and that anxiety about pregnancy hasn't had an intense impact on my quality of life or day to day. However, sometimes, I get scared about pregnancy very stupidly from things that happened 11ish months ago (and these are thi...

I got a chance to look at the article, what if there wasn't skin to skin contact preceding the ejaculation? I don't think their penis touched my body. Thanks as always for your help!

Ok, awesome. That all totally makes sense. Is dry humping, getting ejaculate on your clothes, and or having someone ejaculate on your back (I know your butt area is close so I'm not sure) a risk for any STIs?

Sorry I have so many questions about my upcoming obgyn appointment, I just am gonna try to go by myself this time I think. I just want to make sure I'm in control of my health and am educated, I feel like previously my appointments have gone really quick too, is this normal?

That actually does make sense about trying to view men as just another person. Yea, I think I'm just trying to shrug off some of that cultural messaging which unfortunately I have picked up growing up. Ok, that's good to know her case was super extreme. It was definitely something I was taken aback ...

Also, just another thought, I'm seeing the gyno more regularly now, what can be expected at a yearly visit if you just do a Pap test every 3 years now?

Hi Heather, it's nice to hear from you again! I would say my relationships with my brothers have been good, of course we have had the occasional sibling arguments like anyone else, but I really love them and enjoy when we get to spend time together. That's interesting, how possibly might going about...

I guess I should probably add that I do have two brothers, but that has been different for some reason? Thanks!

Hi Karyn, I don't mind you popping back in at all! I really enjoy the support and information I get from everyone on your wonderful team :)! I think I have a lot more difficulty being vulnerable around guys mainly because I've grown up and I think for a lot of my life been in a predominantly female ...

Hi again! Thanks for letting me know that it's very common for your periods on the pill to become much lighter, shorter, or sometimes non-existent and that I can trust that it's doing it's thing. I haven't been up to anything, and I know what I've done isn't a risk based upon y'all's articles, I've ...

Update: Today was supposed to be day 3 of my period (things seemed to be kinda stopping last night and I woke up this morning to not much), a little redish discharge when inserting a tampon but nothing in my underwear or anything-I've been on the pill awhile now and it hasn't been this short yet, co...

Also, how light is it normal for your period to be while on the pill? I have found that mine have really gotten a lot lighter. I realize as long as you're having any bleeding on placebos you can take that to mean that you're good, but is that just because my lining is a lot lighter? I started yester...

Hello! I think ultimately I've always just kinda fantasized about being in a relationship and because he was the closest I've gotten recently, he kinda just pops into my head. But I know I should be focusing on working on myself and my own career goals and passions, so I guess I could maybe just try...

Hey Heather! It's great to be able to hear from you again, don't worry about it at all, there are still many days now where I find myself questioning the election and trying to make sense of it haha. Yikes-I figured it could take awhile but had no idea it would be like puberty in reverse! I guess it...

Thanks for hooking me up with that On the Rag article, it was very informative! When you do start to go through menopause eventually, do you just kinda start having less periods and slowly taper off, or one day is it just gone? Does that happen because you ran out of eggs? Also, a few posts back I a...

Thanks so much for that info Mo! So does that mean my eggs are just kind being stored up for later use, that because I've started the pill I'll actually have more than I would have?

Just had another thought while waiting for you guys to get back to me, I asked a little about eggs in the last post, we are born with all the eggs we will have right? And you just assume you emit one every month? What happens to them when you're on the pill though? Thanks so much as always!

Yes, I agree that I just wasn't ready yet to have that conversation. I think when the time is right, or if it seems like he still wants to hangout and the issue needs to be brought up, I'll definitely say something in order to try to avoid future awkwardness. I agree that talking about the past won'...

I think that's a good idea-I think I need to let him know I'm still not open to having sex moving forward. He contacted me the other day to hangout, but thankfully I had family in town, so I just simply said that I was unavailable because of that. I've talked to him about it before, so I know I coul...

Hi There, I've been taking the pill for about 6ish months-and I've been having my period for around 11 years. In December, my periods had been super wonky, I missed a few months and then it came back-we found out I had some hormonal imbalances. After taking some medicine to kinda correct that, it st...

Ok, awesome! I just wanted to make sure you could still count on those for no baby up in there, which Karyn let me know I could, and it's great to hear from you that it's super common! It's been nice because now I know exactly when they're coming, but does that mean when I go off the pill they'll go...

Also, just been doing a little more thinking so wanted to discuss with the next person that gets back to me, what do you think is the easiest way to end a relationship that was never really defined or ever had a label?

Ok cool-thanks for clearing that up for me! I went on the pill after I had some fears about irrational situations (your articles said they were no risk), and haven't done anything since. It has made my "periods" or I guess withdrawal bleeds a lot more regular when previously they had been ...
