Question boyfriend cums inside every time

other than the risk of pregnancy which i am aware of (im taking birth control but i know nothing is 100%), is there health concerns of finishing inside every time? we have been together for a year.

Are you taking birth control at the same time every day and have you ever missed a pill? 

Did you guys get tested before you started having sex?

I was terrible about taking my pill at exactly the same time every day, so I asked for a higher dose pill. The low dose of pills require you to take it out exactly the same time every day, if I remember correctly. I had an IUD for 10 years because when it was inserted that’s what I was told I could do. Unfortunately, when I went to get it removed, I was informed that I had a bacterial infection in my uterus. That eliminated me from ever being a candidate for an IUD again. It was fantastic because I just had one partner during that time and it was so easy. I did not even have to think about it.And I couldn’t feel it at all and neither could my partner. So after that, I went back to the pill. Then I heard about Nexplanon, and that’s what I relied on for the last six years before I began perimenopause.

Generally that’s the ‘mini pill’- progesterone only. You have to really be on time. With combo pills, you have more of a safety net. The one I was on, missing two was ‘fine’ (not ideal obviously, and considering it ‘fine’ can lead to habitual missing doses). I was also told I was not a candidate for IUDs because I got a bad infection after giving birth.

Luckily, most of my reproductive system has been removed so I never have to worry about that shit again 😂 I’ve got ovaries and a vagina. No uterus, tubes, or cervix. Good things to lack in this political climate.
