Perfect Stranger 3-0 Scubas_girl oh, that's cool 4laugh How short can a period be? I went to change my tampon this morning and there was barely any blood on it, and it was only a few drops. Today would be day 3, so can periods be that short? Yes, but maybe in a few days you'll see more fluid. It happens.
I saw more this afternoon...makes me sad lol. I hate being a girl sometimes lol |

So, my friend was telling me about a form of birth control she is planning on going on and I really like what I heard, but i want some opinions from you girls too!
Its called Intrauterine Contraceptive or IUC
I hear it goes in you and its like a T shape and it works for 5 years and its more effective than the pill. And, if you want to start having kids, you take it out an your fertile again in about a month.
From what I hear its a lot better than the shot and you dont have to worry much about it, except get it changed if you change sex partners, so its not good for people who have multiple sex partners.
These are a lot cheaper than the shot and pills too, most insurances will cover this 100% and planned parenthood has a health care plan and will cover it too, along with all other appointments that you have there too. I really want to try this, my friend gave me a pamphlet that im going to sit down and read tonight.
Also, I was at the store buying tampons and I saw something that wasn't a pad or tampon, it was a little cup type thing that goes inside of you that blocks the blood flow and works up to 12 hours, can someone tell me what in the world this is?

Actually, that's an IUD: Intrauterine Device.
There are two main types of IUD available. The one you mentioned is the plastic one that has Progesterone. It last up to five years. Is not recommended for women who aren't in a stable relationship (married or who live together), and for women who hadn't had at least one kid. It's side effects are very minimal or non existent, and is as effective as the pill. It has to be placed by a professional.
Then, there's the cooper IUD. Para Gard. Is not hormonal, but not everyone can use it. Why? is made from cooper, and it can cause allergic reactions. The worst side effect this method has is that it increases menstrual periods making them heavier and longer, especially during the first months. Another side effect is that the body tends to expel this method spontaneously with frequency, especially among younger users.
THESE METHODS ARE NOT APPROVED FOR THE USE IN TEENAGERS.
Why? their bodies are more prone to the expulsion these devices because their uterus aren't properly dilated causing it to fail. Another thing; they do not protect against STDs, and if an STD occurs during the use of these devices, serious infections, like PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease), could occur.
Want an ease, reliable method that protects you from preggo and/or STDs? Use condoms: they're cheap, safe and offers double protection.
I'm already pass 20, but I have no kids. I cannot use them.

Perfect Stranger 3-0 Scubas_girl Also, I was at the store buying tampons and I saw something that wasn't a pad or tampon, it was a little cup type thing that goes inside of you that blocks the blood flow and works up to 12 hours, can someone tell me what in the world this is? I really don't know what's that; never seen them before. If you have the name, can you tell me so I could look for more information? • (( witty phrase )) •It is called a menstrual cup. Menstrual cups are worn internally, holding (instead of absorbing) monthly flow. There are several types of reusable cups available, and they are bell-shaped and worn low in the v****a. The Divacup, the Mooncup, the Lunette, the Miacup, the Femmecup, the Ladycup, and the Keeper Moon Cup are made of medical grade silicone. The original Keeper is made of natural gum rubber (latex). There is also a disposable cup, called the Instead, which is shaped more like a diaphragm and worn higher up. The Ladycup is available in a variety of colours. You can find information on wikipedia and here |
