You madame, are genius! I'm getting an IUD later this month, but have been period-less on Depo for YEARS. Just ordered a pack to help ease my mind when I question if I'm experiencing side effects from my birth control or if they're actually symptoms... Bless you ❤

If you want to regularly want to check that you’re not pregnant I highly recommend ordering “internet cheapies” from Amazon. They work just as well for a fraction of the cost. These are the ones I got.

u/DancingHeel · 24 pointsr/AskTrollX

These are the ones I have. I have a total of 18. I know that it can be hard or embarrassing to buy one, and sometimes it gets expensive. No matter what situation you're in, I'd love to help out!

u/MaotheMao21 · 13 pointsr/childfree

I have Nexplanon, too, and am adamantly child free. I have a fund for if I ever fall pregnant.

​

I also bulk buy these tests once a year and take one every month-ish. They're super cheap and just as effective as the $10 ones. Also, none of the in person awkwardness.

u/Winterixes · 10 pointsr/childfree

Withdrawal bleeding from cessation of the contraceptive pill doesn’t mean anything, it’s not a true period. If it stresses you out buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/ClinicalGuard%C2%AE-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-Individually-Sealed/dp/B007VT30C8 and test yourself every month. Using oral contraceptives will not mask the hormones that the tests detect. There’s no medical reason not to run the pill packs together, aside from how practical it is to not have to deal with bleeding, running packs together it also increases the efficacy (therefore reducing the failure rate).

They really are a lifesaver! They're SO cheap, and it saves the hassle of "ah shit can't take a test cuz I don't have one on hand and I don't wanna go to the pharmacy/store and buy it and it's gonna be my paycheck for the day".

I really dreaded pregnancy tests. Nothing could deter me from taking one than the possibility of seeing a positive. Ignorance was bliss, sort of a "if I don't see it, it's not there". Though with every single day approaching my period and with every single day I was late, I just made myself feel symptoms, and they were getting more and more intense, which didn't help. They subsided almost immediately once I saw a negative test, or when I got my period, like magic.

It gets easier, though. Just like exposure therapy, right? I was so worried my BC would fail and I didn't understand how such a tiny thing can achieve something so glorious, so I used to test once a month. It gets easier. Then after seeing negative over negative, over more negatives, taking tests felt like a chore so I stopped testing so often. Now I only test when I feel "symptoms". Remember, if you're ever far enough in a pregnancy to show symptoms, you'd also be far enough to turn a test positive.

Another thing that eased my mind with testing was knowing that if, given worst case scenario, I have enough time to figure out what I want to do with it and how to proceed if I catch it early enough. Choices can only get more and more limited the more you wait.

u/shaela17 · 6 pointsr/truechildfree

Amazon! These are the ones I got, but there are plenty more options available as well. The only thing is they are strips, so you have to pee in a cup and then dip the strips in the cup (I have a designated cup for this under my sink lmao). I got the 25 pack but they offer up to 100!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VT30C8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1v

I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of that. I completely understand how you feel, a baby would 150% ruin my life.

u/randomuser659 · 6 pointsr/trollingforababy

If you have amazon prime, you can get them in bulk for much cheaper with free shipping.

u/privateprblms · 4 pointsr/childfree

UTI test strips: http://www.amazon.com/Areta-Parameter-Urinalysis-Reagent-Strips/dp/B00D5UZMDC/

bulk pregnancy test strips: http://www.amazon.com/ClinicalGuard-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-25-count/dp/B007VT30C8/ They have other amounts available as well. $10 for 2 years worth seems like a small price for peace of mind.

u/orcazebra · 3 pointsr/abortion

I saw this in another thread recently and it's pretty awesome: https://www.amazon.com/ClinicalGuard®-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-Individually-Sealed/dp/B007VT30C8

"Pee stick" pregnancy tests work just fine, even at the dollar store. They use the same testing method as the clinical strips above (react to presence of hormone).

With any of these tests, there's basically no such thing as a false positive. If it's positive, you are definitely pregnant. If you get a negative result, you will want to wait a few days and test again - if you still haven't gotten your period. Also make sure you get plenty of urine on the stick to minimize the chances of false negative.

I'm not sure how it is in Canada, but if you do end up needing an abortion, most likely you will still need to have a test done with a positive result at the doctor's office. You may also be required to confirm the pregnancy with an ultrasound (the trans-vaginal kind; unfortunately the over-the-belly type isn't accurate enough in the early weeks of pregnancy).

You can do all of this at Planned Parenthood if you have anything like that up there. If you absolutely have no other options and are close enough to the border, I'm pretty sure PP doesn't have citizenship requirements. But you would probably want to call them to make sure. They generally provide services based on a sliding scale and should be able to give you a quote over the phone with your income information. I don't know for sure if they're able to provide services non-residents but at the very least, they won't judge you for calling and asking.

I'm really sorry to hear that your doctor is like that. I imagine it's also not that easy to switch providers. Best of luck to you and let us know if you need to talk or need any more advice.

u/Happyintexas · 3 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

I totally get it. I’m in Texas and it’s not super easy here either (but not NEARLY as restrictive as these morons are trying to make it now). There’s a ridiculously slim chance I’ll get pregnant again, but I still take a test every 3ish weeks, just in case. Especially because I skip my sugar pills to avoid having a period.
try these. 25 for under $10 I used them when actually TRYING to conceive and got a positive at like 9 days post ovulation, 4 days before I even missed a period. They’re what most doctors offices use.

u/Ephemeral_Halcyon · 3 pointsr/Nexplanon

For me personally it wouldn't be worth it to take another Plan B. Plan B is only about 95% effective anyway, and it's really only pumping progestin-only birth control into your body, which is what your Nexplanon is already doing in a pretty decent dose.

What I would do, however, is go to Amazon and buy some of their pregnancy tests. They sell packs of 25 for about $8. Super duper worth it for helping put your mind at ease, and they'll be useful to you in a few weeks when you should test anyway just to be safe.

u/squiggywiggle · 3 pointsr/WomensHealth

Felt exactly like period cramps for me, they just kept lasting on and on and I kept expecting my period to come and it just didn’t. After a week of that I took a test and it was negative. It continued for another week and then I tested again and it was positive.

Honestly pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms can be practically identical. The only way to know for sure is to pee on a stick.

Directly after your period ends can be a safe time for many people, but for those with shorter cycles 27 days and under it can also be the beginning of the fertile window for many women. So it’s doubtful you’d be able to predict it one way or the other at this time. I would suggest getting some pregnancy tests from the dollar store or order on amazon and test weekly until you get a positive or your period comes just to give you peace of mind.

u/Overthemoon64 · 2 pointsr/TryingForABaby

on amazon you can buy a jumbo pack of cheap pregnancy tests. I like these. So really, with pregnancy tests so cheap, there's no reason not to test.

u/AdviceForAnOctopus · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

Early pregnancy symptoms (up to about 8 weeks) are from progesterone—the same hormone that brings on your period. So you cannot guess pregnancy based on early symptoms.

Get some cheap pregnancy test strips from Amazon and test with your first pee everyday until your period comes or you get a positive.

u/Gunkspargle · 2 pointsr/birthcontrol

They usually start showing positive from 25mIU/ml which is pretty sensitive and about the same as First Response. The hCG levels grow exponentially as the days go by, so even if you test negative 21 days after the sex that got you pregnant, testing a week later should definitely be positive (if you ever do get pregnant on the pill, not saying this is an inevitable outcome lol). Sometimes the withdrawal bleed does stop during pregnancy on the pill, but it can stop just because your lining was thinned out quite a bit by the hormones. That's why you can't rely on the withdrawal bleed as an indicator either way.

I use the Clinical Guard tests. Always gotten a negative on them but they have a pretty good reputation for showing true positives.

u/cypherpunks · 2 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

Er, actually, they are cheap if you get them in bulk. (50-pack, 60.)

And yes, there's very little difference; they're FDA-regulated. The main thing is that some are a little bit more sensitive, which can give you a few more days warning, but also more false alarms.

You can also get combo packs of ovulation and pregnancy detection, but some people think that takes some of the fun out of it.

u/_lysinecontingency · 2 pointsr/TFABLinePorn

When I google and match the package to what Amazon offers, says they're sensitivity of 25miu (so a normal 'cheapie' strength, but not quite FRER which picks up on 12miu)

And yes looks positive! :)

u/BurnTrashForStars · 2 pointsr/TFABLinePorn

FRER will def show something if you're pregnant. For future attempts, try these they work well and are easy to read and best of all, super cheap.

u/HeCallsMePrecious · 2 pointsr/waiting_to_try

Do you want to be able to skip your periods? Unless you're having some debilitating cramping or really heavy flow that would make your life easier without a period, I wouldn't worry about it since it causes such anxiety for you.

If you do want to try skipping, would taking a cheapie pregnancy test every month help you feel more at peace about it? Amazon has a pack of cheap tests that are 25 for $8.

u/lucevan · 2 pointsr/birthcontrol

No need to spend $1 per test. There are quite a few cheaper ones on Amazon. For example this is the kind I bought, 25 tests at $8. Pretty sure I won't use all of them before they expire, but even so they're cheaper on average.

u/kevlarkate · 2 pointsr/TFABLinePorn

[ClinicalGuard] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007VT30C8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_r7dLAbGKA0QKH) is the shit. Right up there with FRER, I got two positives at 10DPO on them.

u/witchrist · 1 pointr/birthcontrol

thank you so, so much for your response — i'm also wondering why the hell i'm getting so slammed with anxiety and mood swings when it's been a month after i've taken it, same as you? i also get really nauseous when i'm anxious — super fun side effect, amirite. :/ hormones are no joke when it comes to how they affect mood.

if there's anything that will help ease your anxiety, take a pregnancy test. i have a giant pack of cheap ones i got on amazon that work well and are pretty highly rated.

thank you for your kind words and again, it's enormously reassuring that i'm not the only one going through this crap.

i hope you get your period soon! and i hope you ace your finals. you got this girl!

u/TheLillin · 1 pointr/birthcontrol

I don't have any good suggestions for you based on what information you've given(I found hormonal birth control to be hit or miss for me, now I use a copper IUD) but I suggest keeping something like this in your medicine cabinet for the occasional "oh shit" moment you might get. They're very accurate and much much cheaper than going to the drug store and getting one of the boxed tests.

u/jynnsomething · 1 pointr/TwoXChromosomes

This sounds like an irrational level of anxiety for this (and there's nothing wrong with that, we all have our irrational fears that we can't do anything to stop). Would it maybe help if you tested regularly? I've seen that as a trick for people who have similar anxieties, they buy the cheap test strips in bulk (like these: https://www.amazon.com/ClinicalGuard®-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-Individually-Sealed/dp/B007VT30C8) and test monthly or even weekly. Although that tends to be more useful in places where abortion is a more viable option. It would still help regularly confirm that you're not pregnant, and between the pills and condoms, you're beyond relatively safe.
