I know it sounds so silly to feel conflicted about this! But I think I am letting this affect me because I see the importance he gives to keeping up with his Instagram, and literally posting about everything he does, and if I'm part of his life, shouldn't he just follow me again? Also, the way we re...

Hello! Recently I decided to try and rekindle an old friendship with someone whom I've always gotten along and connected incredibly well (aka, similar interests, hobbies, likes), we just lost contact through the years and found different friend groups so we didn't talk much anymore. We continued to ...

Hello! I had protected intercourse during the last active week of my pill pack, I had exactly two more active pills left, which I took on time. A week later my withdrawal bleed came also on time, and I started a new pack without issues. However, about 4 days in the new pack I can't assure I took my ...

Thank you for the replies! I actually have that "pinch the tip" rule quite clear because I know how crucial it is to prevent breakage, so I am sure to do it always c: (I pretty much just place it on the tip with my mouth and then pinch the tip as I unroll it with my hands). We do use lube ...

Hello! I have a question on how safe it is to put on a condom on my boyfriend with my mouth, and giving him oral sex a few minutes before starting intercourse, all these with the condom already on. He's reportedly having some sensitivity issues wearing condoms and I want to spice up the application....

Well, it doesn't mention any topical antibiotics, so am I correct to interpret that they don't interfere?

Hello! I've been on the pill for +2 years now and I recently switched from Diane 35 to Microgynon 30 due to a lower risk of blood clots with the latter (gives some peace of mind). However, one of the benefits I got from my previous pill was veeery clear skin and oil control. Maybe it's the different...

Hello Scarleteen! I'm in a situation that's putting me under stress about what to do and is also confusing me about how I feel towards having sex. I've been in a long distance relationship for over 2 years now and things have been great. I struggled with pregnancy fears after a scare for some time, ...

Alright! Well I used condoms correctly every time I had sex, and by the looks of things I am fully covered by the pill as well (so I shouldn't ovulate any time soon), a lot of stuff would have to go wrong for me to be at pregnancy risk, so no worries here . Thank you!

Thank you! Also, one more question: is my pill intake on the first week of a new pack actually relevant for pregnancy protection on sex I had one day before my last withdrawal bleeding if I haven't had sex after that? Or were those activities covered by the last pack?

I definitely didn't take it late, but it is likely that it took two pills on that first day, would that have an effect? I am not having sex this cycle at all, i'm mostly worried about decreased effectiveness on the sex I had on my placebo week.

Hello! I'm on Diane 35 and on the first pill of this month's pack I wasn't sure if If I took it or not (I feel silly about that, definitely paying more attention now) and because I know how important it is to start a new pack on time, I thought "better safe than sorry" and took another one...

I'll definitely use condoms at all times! c:. I have to take my last pill of this pack this upcoming tuesday, and I start my trip on monday. I'n pretty sure I'll be in Miami when it's time to take that one, so that makes it a lot easier :D. Now, I have to take my seven day break pretty much on my fi...

Hello! I haven't been able to reach out to my doctor to ask him about this, so the next best option are you guys! C: I'll be going to Australia (traveling from Ecuador) for the next three months, and it's very important for me to take my pill at the right times for maximum effectiveness, as I'll be ...

I don't want to develop any relationship with her, as far as "mandatory" events when I get to see her, and I also am not comfortable with him having a relationship with her, that goes outside of their friend group. Another issue arised over the course of these past couple days, and I just ...

One way I use to manage these uneasy feelings (as they pretty much just linger randomly) is to think that, in the end, I will never have full control over this situation, and that relationships imply some uncertainty that I have to learn to be comfortable with. All I can really do is love with all m...

I can't really root where does this discomfort come from, but I've been doing a lot of self reflection and have some possible reasons: The first of all is really just the fact that she is an ex, and personally, I don't keep in touch with people I've dated before, nor do I believe it'd add anything t...

Hi, I've been in a long distance relationship for one year and four months, and most of it has been happy and fulfilling. We have gone through some ups and downs, but always have been able to solve them at its core and get past them. Until recently. My boyfriend and me have been very open and honest...

Ok, so in case there´s a mishap on the first week of active pills from the next pack (missing one or taking it late), there would be no increased pregnancy risk from the pre-withdrawal bleed sex of the past cycle, but from the activities that only happen on the new one, is that correct?

Hello :), I have a doubt about up to what extent a "withdrawal bleed" should be considered "as a period". I read a post here from a girl who wasn't on the pill, who asked if the period she got 3 days after intercourse meant she wouldn't become pregnant from that risk on the next ...

Thank you! I keep telling myself that it's just ridiculous to still think I'm pregnant from something that happened in June. I plan to call my doctor and ask him if I really need to keep taking those pills for 3 more months, since I don't plan to be sexually active. I do know Diane 35 are higher dos...

Hello :), I'd first like to thank you for all the handy information on this website. I've read most of the articles, and, though some of them helped a lot to clear up my mind, and I've been trying to hold myself from asking obvious stuff, I'm feeling so sick and off that I couldn't help. I'll give s...
