  • Hell no. I don't believe in any birth control. That's not how God made us.

  • Yes I have. But I have the implant now

  • No way.. I heard of people getting really bad reactions from it

  • Never. I never been on birth control and never will be.

  • Nope I haven't 😂😂😂

  • Nope. My mother knew i was asexual long before i figured it out myself and never saw the point of having me on birth control when i obviously wasn't interested.

  • Yes! It hurt when he (the doctor) put it in but it's great after that. Guys don't even know I have one!

  • Never, and I believe it´s commonly advice against in women who never carried a pregnancy to term.

  • Yes. I took it out after a few months. Sex was painful.

    • Strange! You're sure they're related, eh?

    • @AmandaYVR for sure. Never had that discomfort before. Took it out and it was fine. Same sex partner.

    • Eeughh. I hate procedures, being poked and prodded.

    • Show All
  • Yes !

    • What type?

  • I haven't used bc before but I did use Plan B once

  • I have not nor will I ever get an iud.

  • Yes and I ended up having lots of issues… really bad cramping before my periods. After having it for a year, my periods became lighter BUT intercourse now hurt. It always felt like something was poking me and it was sharp pains.. I got random sharp pains before during and after my periods. Before I got it removed I ended up getting pregnant and miscarried. I got pregnant shortly after getting it removed and both were ectopic pregnancies. (Lost both babies) now I’ve been experiencing migraines.

    • I'm sorry to hear all that. :(

    • It’s okay. I see it as a learning experience.. I went against my morals and it ended up teaching me. Lol

  • Nope, but I've had a friend who used/uses it.
    Seems painful as hell when she talks about getting it in and changing it etc... so hard pass from me.
    The only birth control I use is pulling out, anal, or swallowing.

    • Yep, my man hates using condoms too so I now think about using an UID.

  • Yup Paragourd.. and it's terrible.

    • Maybe you should try hormonal ones like Mirena?

    • I'm already hormonal.. I have had problems with fertility, HVP and cervical cancer since I was 13. I'm netvot but it think it's time for a switch. I may try the mirena. Thanks doll 🖤

  • I used birth control pills in my teens/early 20’s but they never worked. (As in I got pregnant 3 times but aborted, I was too young for kids)
    I’ve been using a non-hormonal IUD for almost 20 years without a problem. A non-hormonal IUD is made from copper and can be worn up to 7 years. You should still use a condom for some sort of protection against STD’s and a condom doesn’t protect you from all STD’s so never be afraid to ask your partner if they’ve been tested.

    • Thanks :)

  • Nope. I'm prone to gaining weight so I stay away from birth control pills. And also, I wouldn't want my guy to take it for. granted and get me pregnant

  • My most recent ex used it, and was glad she did. Worked well.

  • Yes, I have the mirena and I really like it:)

    • Mirena is the best thing out there, right?

    • As far as ik. It depends on what works for you though.

  • Yes I have the Mirena IUD and I haven't had any problems with it except bleeding. You'll bleed kind of steadily like a really light period for several months. It's off and on for me right now but it's supposed to stop after about 6 months. I got mine back in May
