If you want P.G.,no: If you want to be pregnant then you can stop your pill. If you don't want another pregnancy then you need to find a contraceptive alternative that you can utilize regularly. There are diaphragms, implants, Nuvarings, VCF film, condoms, etc. available. Talk to your MD about choices.

My fiance had an orgasm inside me yesterday. I had the Kylenna IUD placed in April. Do I need to get a Plan B pill or are the IUDs safe at preventing ?
Ive tried BCPs, IUDs, Nexplanon, the patch, the ring.. basically everything but shots, all varying hormone levels. Was fine for 3 years on the pill, but now every single birth control makes me bleed 4+ weeks nonstop. Why?!?!?!
Do all progestin-only forms of BC have just 1 progestin available? All mini pills have norethindrone, IUDs levonorgestrel, implants etonogestrel, etc
Do IUDs have similar side effects to the pill? I.e. decreased libido?
I'm looking for a good birth control option. My body does not tolerate foreign objects (iuds) or hormones (pill, ring, etc). 24 don't want more kids!
