“The goal is to flood the zone with so much anti-birth control content that young women believe we’re encountering this content organically. In reality, what we’re experiencing is a coordinated effort by right-wing actors, steadily manufacturing our consent to ban birth control—and more.”

The Danish "Spiral case" of the 60s and 70s when intrauterine contraceptive devices were put into Greenlandish women and girls without their consent (or knowledge even), caused the birthrate in Greenland to plummet, as seen in the attached population pyramid generated from US Census Bureau International Data Base.

My doctor cursed me.
The last time I saw him he mentioned that my iud was due for changing. I said that I was happy to keep it until it stopped working because hopefully it would just see me out to menopause as they can last up to 10 years. He said that as long as I understand that it probably isn't going to effectively cover as a contraception for that long he couldn't see an issue with seeing if it would last me.
It's 2 weeks later and I have cramps and spotting, and am in a FOUL mood.
I'm making an appointment to get it changed asap because I have absolutely zero interest in dealing with periods again.
Fuck you, uterus.

CW: Pregnancy, birth control failure
Edit: this is thankfully not my IUD. :neocat_blush_melt:
Still go get your IUD changed, if you're using a Ballerine IUD though!
Also, if you weren't aware, you can get pregnant on T! Be safe out there!

Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. https://saheliinfo.com/clinical-evidence
Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6449/smpc) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". https://www.annoverahcp.com/
Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several! We are no longer stuck with the larger, higher dose Mirena hIUS. https://www.mirena.co.uk/ I want the smaller, lower dose (but shorter duration) Jaydess https://www.fsrh.org/Public/Public/Documents/ceu-product-review-jaydess-apr-14.aspx or Kyleena. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/769/smpc
(You can fit a non-hormonal IUD copper coil as emergency contraception, within 10 days of unprotected sex. Fitting it as regular birth control anytime otherwise is also fine, when not pregnant.) https://patient.info/sexual-health/long-acting-reversible-contraceptives-larc/intrauterine-contraceptive-device
Finally, vasectomy. New part is "I found multiple cases where doctors did their own vasectomies". This may be helpful for hesitant cis men and AMAB people to know. Vasectomies are reversible ("easily", according to a medical nerd friend, but obv different people's bodies respond to things in weird, cool ways, so everything depends). https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Vasectomy.pdf
I am not a doctor. Even if I were, I am not YOUR doctor. I do not have access to your medical records.
I'm just infodumping useful info to prevent unwanted pregnancies, minimise unplanned pregnancies, and mitigate risks. https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/contraception-sterilization/management/male-sterilization-vasectomy/#contraception #contraceptive #sexEd #POP #progesterone #hormones #HRT #HormoneReplacementTherapy #birth #BirthControl #familyPlanning #PlannedParenthood #sex #Sexual #SexualHealth #healthcare #ReproductiveHealthcare #ReproductiveRights #pregnancy #InternalCondoms #ExternalCondoms #Condom #ContraceptiveDiaphragm #CayaPhragm #spermicide #vaginalRing #NuvaRing #patch #injection #IUS #hormonalIUD #IUD #copperCoil #medicine #UnitedKingdom #UK #England #Scotland #Wales #NorthernIreland #GreatBritain #Britain

U.S. Health Officials Issue New Guidelines for IUD Insertion Pain

CW: Birth control, IUDs, good news
The CDC has finally admitted that for many patients, getting an #IUD inserted can be a painful procedure, and #healthcare providers should discuss pain relief with them, including lidocaine and anesthetics.
I love my #CopperIUD and it is absolutely the best #contraception for me. (I can't take hormonal #BirthControl for health reasons.) I'm fortunate that my gyno was very willing to make the insertion procedure as comfortable for me as possible. But it still hurt! And plenty of people don't have understanding healthcare providers who care about their pain.
Hopefully this small change will help more people access birth control that they need. (We still need so much more, like #UniversalHealthCare and recognition that #ReproductiveRightsAreHumanRights, but this is something!)

😶While we are still permitted #birthcontrol like an #iud this is great #news. They made #guidelines for #doctors to do the intensely painful procedure to #insert it.
“The number of people opting for #intrauterinedevices — T-shaped birth control devices inserted into the uterus and known as #IUDs — is on the rise. As their #popularity has risen, so have the complaints about the #pain people experience during the #procedure.
