*THIS MAY NOT HELP BUT* .... I had a HORRIBLE first pregnancy, suffered all the same things you did. 2 years later I got pregnant again.....and THANK THE UNIVERSE had NONE of the horrible awful things that happened the first time. Not saying its a sure thing BUT....your body's smart.....it adjusts...and it's been broken in now, lol. So the second time around it handles it better..MOST of the time. Try not to be TOO scared 💖
The same thing happened with me! I was sooo scared when I found out I was pregnant the 2nd time because I thought I was about to suffer for 9 months again but it was breeze! Even the labor/delivery was so easy.
As a mom I think it’s irresponsible that she’s constantly having scares and posting them on the internet for her young viewers to see. If she doesn’t want to get pregnant she should probably use birth control or just not posting it if she is going to choose not to use protection. She’s spreading a lot of misinformation to impressionable young people.
Colleen, you should do a collab with Mama Doctor Jones (once corona madness is over), where she explains to you how getting pregnant works, and all the things you talked about here that you didn't really understand. She has said in the past you are the one youtuber she really wants to collab with, and this is right up her alley. I imagine you might find it helpful to understand it better, and she'd be beyond excited I believe. And I for one would love to watch. So if by some astronomical chance you see this, please look her up and think about it :)
I'm surprised people saw this but I'm so glad more of you agree :) I'm not a twitter user, I legitimately don't know how to use it and actually have any chance of Colleen seeing it, but if any of you reading do can you perhaps tweet it at her? Seems to me Colleen is more of a twitter than youtube comment reader :)
I mean. You might not want to hear this, but your “weird period” could be what’s called implantation bleeding. It’s super normal when you’re BECOMING pregnant. A lot of women confuse it for their periods, but it’s literally ... implantation and sometimes it causes bleeding. But because you took the pregnancy test immediately after this, it could be too early to take a test and it could be a false negative. So be careful and maybe take another one in a week or so to be safe and if symptoms continue!
Thank you. You can ovulate earlier than you think - doesn’t mean you’re an “alien.” You cannot get pregnant if you didn’t ovulate. And that wasn’t a period while pregnant, it was implantation bleeding or could have been a hematoma that she passed (happens frequently). I wish she would get a little more educated about the reproductive system before telling people this stuff.
The “period” you have when you stop birth control isnt an actual period it’s just a withdraw bleed. Chances are you did ovulate while you were having that withdrawal bleed. Bodies are weird
Yes!! And you can actually ovulate early! Most people ovulate a week after your period but you can ovulate before your period and during its really weird!
I.am.amazing 943 no you’re right she doesnt now but she said when she got pregnant she had just stopped her birth control and her period had just ended. That was the “break through bleed” I was referring too.
I feel like the vlogs have become Colleen saying one sentence and then a 5 minute defense against what haters could say... at some point you have to live your life
I notice this too and it makes me so sad for her. That she can’t just speak her mind without all the disclaimers after the fact. It really shows how much she’s been attacked over the years.
I'm replying to everyone else here... You guys don't understand the stress youtubers have to handle, because this is how the make a living. And if they say things that people (aka their subscribers) will unsubscribe and all that complicated stuff.... But also I agree.... Because she is going through a lot of stress lately so don't go too hard on her. ❤❤ everything going on in the world isn't helping any of us and we need to support each other no matter what...
Fun Fact: You can still get pregnant while having your period. The male sperm can live up to five days after ejaculation inside of the female, and ovulation can begin quickly after a female's menstrual cycle especially if the period was heavy or long. Therefore, the theory of "I can't get pregnant if I'm on my period" is a myth commonly shot down by OBGYNs every day. Colleen, I love your videos, and seeing you happy makes me happy. Stay safe and keep doing you, boo!
It is entirely possible to take birth control whilst breastfeeding, it's only for the first month postpartum that estrogen based methods aren't recommended.
Dr. T. Jay I got birth control (iud) and it didn’t affect my breast milk at all and my OB said it was totally safe. I’ve been in it for a year and I’m still breast feeding 😄
You can still take birth control while breastfeeding...... I got the Nexplanon inserted at my 6 week postpartum check up. And I still breastfeed and my daughter is 13 months.
I assume she didn’t have proper sex education because she is spreading a lot of harmful misinformation. She either needs to do better research or get a new doctor.
You can 100% take birth control while breastfeeding, there’s the mini pill which is safe for breastfeeding! Also CONDOMS if you 100% set on no more babies in your uterus you CAN take the necessary precautions there’s not restrictions while nursing.
Gaybaby ofcourse nothing is 100% but there are options, using them correctly birth control & condoms will most likely result in no babies lol but there’s also tubal ligations and vasectomies if they choose that way. But choosing nothing seems irresponsible if they are trying to prevent pregnancy.
@@mrsgoed859 my thoughts exactly 🙄 if you were serious about avoiding pregnancy youd take the steps to properly prevent it and vasectomies are super quick and easy and reversible, tube typing or clamping or whatever not reversible and far more invasive but also an option of erik doesnt want to go through with a vasectomy
She never said that they’re not using alternative measures, but as previously mentioned in this comment section, nothing is 100% effective so it is incredibly responsible of her to take pregnancy tests if she thinks she might be pregnant. Please don’t come for a woman who knows how to take care of her own body by trying to tell her how to do so.
Ladies: You can get pregnant at ANY TIME during your cycle, that's why the "rhythm method" or tracking when you are not ovulating is NOT a successful form of birth control... stay safe and informed :)
I agree. If this sort of thing is going to be discussed, the information given needs to be clear and factual. I'm 27 with a family of my own and can't tell whether or not condoms are being used so how are children/young adults meant to understand? Not to mention what I'm sure is exaggeration- needing to use the bathroom every 15 minutes. If this is happening, please see a GP! It is fabulous that this channel is a safe space to talk about periods etc but let's stay factual and transparent to ensure no incorrect information is used by anybody over such an important matter like pregnancy.
Kind of, but not really. The only way you can get pregnant is if sperm meets ovum. Sperm lives for up to 7 days, and the ovum lives for up to 48 hours, so if you have unprotected sex a week before the day of ovulation you can fall pregnant. It's not a simple science, so if you aren't ready to support a child or have a child with the person you're having sex with, USE PROTECTION. But if you're married, like me, and just don't quite have the money, FAM is VERY accurate. It's not a "rhythm" method though, as cycles change. You have to be super diligent with temperature taking and checking cervical mucus. Sorry for the rant I just feel like there are a lot of women on birth control unnecessarily and it does have a lot of awful side effects so if you have the patience and willpower to go natural I recommend it!
And saying that you can't use birth control while breastfeeding... you absolutely can! Some are very safe ! This video is a little... maybe not irresponsible but definitely misinforming
That sounds terrible, I’m so sorry! But you’re right, not everyone has that experience! And it’s totally an individual’s decision to make. I’m not trying to say she should get one. But just sharing that I was able to get one and continue to breastfeed. And I’m really thankful that I don’t have to stress about getting pregnant!
I love my IUD, the placement wasn't the most pleasant but for me the pain was worth it. I appreciate that it can last for 10 years and I am slighty protected even if something unexpected happens
Any form of progesterone only birth control or the Paragard copper IUD are SAFE while breast feeding. Progesterone will not affect breast milk production. Progesterone contraception comes in multiple different forms: the mini pill [just like a normal oral birth control pill], the hormonal IUD [Mirena, Skyla, Liletta], the implant [Nexplanon] and the depo provera injection.
There definitely IS birth control you can take while breastfeeding. There's the shots, IUD, lots of different ways to not get pregnant if that's what you really want..
Michelle Johansen also, it’s non invasive and so much simpler than a women having a v invasive surgery to have her tubes tied and then if in the future she wants to get pregnant they can keep samples or just reverse it.
If you are just now showing symptoms and just had a “period” no test will say you’re pregnant. That could have been implantation bleeding, which would mean it could take a little for a positive. I had a weird period so I thought I was pregnant, I had the symptoms, but nooo test came back positive. But I knew I was pregnant. And now guess what? I was pregnant 😂 also, digital tests 100% take more of the HCG hormone to show positive! Try the cheapie tests from Walmart or the early detection dye tests. Not saying your ARE pregnant. I’m just saying you wouldn’t get a positive right away and definitely not on a digital test! Also. I don’t know WHAT you exactly went through or HOW it made you feel, but try to take comfort in the fact that EVERY pregnancy is different. So just because you had the worst end of the stick with Flynn doesn’t Necessarily mean if you got pregnant again, it would be exactly the same. But i do understand the fear since with Flynn it was so bad. But try to take comfort in that...
zoot boot not necessarily. Implantation bleeding can be as heavy as a regular period. Though that’s not ridiculously common, it does happen. My implantation bleeding for my daughter (current pregnancy), was relatively heavy, as in was not just spotting. 🤷🏼♀️ I think it really does just depend.
@@Corn22 idk I've never been pregnant but ik my periods arent always in line with another and sometimes they will be for 2-3 days light spotting then others 7 days moderate and it's not like I just got it either this only started happening recently the past 3 years have been steady till now
Why not take precautions if you’re so worried about it all the time? Also not every pregnancy is the same..., many women reported having super easy pregnancy and then the next one is horrible or vise versa !
I don't know what Colleen's personal medical picture is, so I'm not speaking for her, but just a PSA, progestin- only hormonal birth control is completely safe and effective while breastfeeding. If you are in a situation where you are wanting or needing to prevent pregnancy-please talk to your Dr about birth control! There are lots of options-nexplanon (implant) the patch, the shot, and several brands of the pill, along with barrier methods. I am concerned about the misinformation here, especially for a younger audience. Colleen is a very wealthy adult in a stable, safe relationship and can afford to risk pregnancy repeatedly. But so many people actually can't afford to have unsafe/unprotected sex. The last thing we need to do as grown women is to model unsafe sex to teenagers.
Also, birth control does not always have to be the woman's responsibility! Erik could easily get a vasectomy and then they wouldn't have to worry about it at all. It's a simple procedure and it's typically reversible.
I cant be the only one thinking "what about condoms?" And don't say you're allergic because they make non-latex ones. Theres so many different ways to protect against pregnancy, and theres also alot of different birth controls that you CAN take while breast feeding.
Beth ASMR orrrrrrr since she doesn’t want to give birth anymore why not get your tubes tied so if she wanted to change her mind she can get them untied.. beings they want to adopt now? Idk if that makes sense maybe I’m wrong if so tell me why! Please (:
I used to get symptoms and would take pregnancy tests and was always negative. I went to the doctor to get checked and I was having liver complications and the doctor told me that liver complications symptoms are like if you're pregnant symptoms. You should get a physical if you haven't yet. I hope you're well. 💛
And she's saying she got pregnant when she wasn't ovulating and that ovulation is "day 10" when it varies person to person and cycle to cycle. And YOU CANNOT GET PREGNANT NOT WHILE OVULATING. It's possible to ovulate the last day of your period, plus if that's not the case sperm can live in there for 5-6 days.
Lol 😂😂 some women just randomly can drop eggs when their bodies weren’t “supposed” to ovulate. This would explain the egg dropping and being fertilized on the last day of her period.
Not only that but also how she's spreading misinformation about WHEN you can get pregnant. You can get pregnant at any time during the month, not only when you're ovulating. You have a higher chance of getting pregnant when you're ovulating, yes, but you can be and get pregnant at any point during your cycle.
As soon as i gave birth, i got a prescription for a specific birth control since i planned to breastfeed. So if she used pills birth control before, she should get informed about those pill birth control that would allow her to keep breastfeeding safely
This may not sound ideal, especially if one of you have allergies, but condoms have a 98% effective rate! They may not feel as great, but if I was that scared of getting pregnant... I would for sure take more precautions.
Just so you know those digital tests require a lot more HCG hormone to let you know you are pregnant .....if you are still feeling me symptoms I would wait another two days and take a regular pregnancy test and not a digital
I got a positive on a digital test literally the day of my missed period! So it's probably true they take more HCG but they're still good at early detection
@@RoisinColette I think there's a window of reversibility. Albeit, a long window. But I heard after 8-10 years its not likely you can get 'dem spermies to come back.
Seriously!!! Especially if they KNOW they don’t want to be pregnant again. Love you Colleen & Eric but this “omg I CAN NOT be pregnant, that would be worst thing ever!” Ok well let’s take some precautions...
Now Colleen is saying she’s going through personal stuff and it could be pregnant when not wanting to be and not knowing what to do. I saw another comment saying if she was pregnant it wouldn’t be likely to come up as positive if it hasn’t been that long. But I don’t want to assume anything as it’s completely none of business but that’s just a unlikely thought
You can take the micropill when breastfeeding. I took it with my last two pregnancies. Unless you're having issues with your milk supply, it should not be an issue for you. You can use the IUD, as well. Or you can do the rhythm method, which it sounds like you're doing.
The rhythm method has a very high accidental pregnancy rate, and obviously isn't really putting her mind at ease. They should be using other forms of birth control so that she isn't going through these spurts of anxiety and stress.
What about trying IUD or contraceptive implant? Those are very safe and you can use them while you are breastfeeding. You can go to your closest clinic and ask for it 😊
@@shelbyhecox thank you for educating me. They still can break though. Plus she kinda implied they do use condoms when she was talking about other forms of protection
Her pregnancy videos were so honest and open that they helped me tremendously on what to expect with mine. My pregnancy has not been nearly as bad as hers was but I’m still thankful for the knowledge. I will say I get horrible hip pain to the point I really can’t lay on my right side anymore and it’s one of the worst things.
Ovulating is 14 days after the last day of your period and you can get pregnant at anytime it's just a higher chance of the egg actually fertilizing but you can get pregnant any day *please share the correct information for us adolescent girls
Ninotshka Martinez-Valle actually, about 14 days after the FIRST day of your period. And the sperm can stay viable up to a week in the woman’s body. So if one has a long period it is very possible to fall pregnant during their period.
It is variable. Everything is variable. Cycle length and therefore at what point in the cycle you ovulate is different for every women. Could be ten days. Could be 14. Could be 20.
Are you going to do this every month until you actually are pregnant? Cause it’s already getting a bit stale. If you don’t want to get pregnant again then invest in a long term contraceptive like an inter-uterine contraceptive device. And there are LOADS of breastfeeding safe contraception options. I’m a midwife in NZ and our women often start their contraception before they even leave the hospital after giving birth here, and many, many women breastfeed in NZ.
Emma Reed she literally knew that people would misread the title so click on the video especially whilst holding up a pregnancy test, therefore getting more views
@@uuuluvale never eaid it wasn't her channel calling it what it is... funny how everyone else said the same thing but my comment was the one you notice lol
kkmadi1 she literally addressed that she has taken pregnancy tests off camera and this is just a a normal thing for her and since she’s vlogging everyday so this is just her taking a video of it.
You also can take birth control when you're breastfeeding...they have a specific pill for it lol. I took it while I nursed my daughter. You have to be extra careful because it's not as strong or something, but it still exists...
@@samanthalittle5674 you can use birth control while breastfeeding. Most doctors tell you to get on birth control at your six week checkup so that you don't get pregnant so quickly afterwards
@Lis B personally i wouldnt start anything until after breast feeding because you never know how it can effect your body since its all so different for every individual but with saying that, there is still no excuse for not using some form of birth control like condoms
@@britbemis1240 There are hundreds of cases of women's bodies negatively reacting to iuds causing them to end up in the hospital. I don't know a lot on the copper but personally I never recommend iuds because of this. And once again, they may say they are safe but you NEVER know the effects of birth control that can happen to an individual. A lot of women can't take birth control because of how it affects their bodies. Doesnt mattet what kind says it is safe, each body reacts differently.
I'd like to offer some of my knowledge concerning the whole ovulating/getting pregnant on your period thing. So basically you ovulate 14 days before the beginning of your next period, so we say that it's usually 10 days after the end of a period because the average cycle is 28 days and the average period length is 4 days. But that's not how you should count because everyone's cycle is different. Let's say you get your period very often, like every 20 days, and it lasts a long time, like 7 days in a row, you'll be ovulating at 20-14=day 6 while you'll still be on your period! Also, you have a five day window to get pregnant around this ovulation because the sperm can live up to 4 days in the uterus and the egg only 24 hours, so if you do have sex outside of this 5 days window you can't get pregnant (never say never but what I mean is that it's highly unlikely) BUT this window can be happening during your period as I explained earlier, so ALWAYS protect yourself even while bleeding, because it can totally happen! Anyways hope it was helpful, and clear enough (English isn't my first language) Source : I'm a midwife student 🤷♀️
I Vasectomies usually be reversed or you can have children through artificial insemination after having a vasectomy by having sperm harvested from the testicles if you’d like to have a child but don’t want to (or can’t) have your vasectomy reversed. It can be expensive, but I’m sure it’s something they can afford if they chose to go down that route.
You definitely CAN be pregnant while having intercourse during periods because: 1) it depends on your cycle, you may have very short cycles and ovulate very close to the end of your periods; 2) because of that, you start having cervical mucus being produced and sometimes even mixed in with your period blood, hence you can't really see it if you don't know about this mucus; and 3) this mucus, when fertile (creamy/watery/eggwhite-like, all the period BEFORE and DURING ovulation time) is meant to nourish and help sperms get into the uterus to wait for and eventually fertilize the ovum/egg. Keep in mind that men are fertile EACH TIME they have intercourse, and women are not, BUT our bodies do everything they can to maximize the chance of getting pregnant, so having sex before ovulating is basically the BEST way of getting pregnant, because of the sperms being all cozy and warm in the reproductive system waiting for mister Eggy to show up! x) Thank you for applying to this course, class is over now :p
Eric can get a vasectomy so you don't have to be constantly scared of getting pregnant, and it is reversible if eventually you decide to have another pregnancy
I really recommend reading "Taking Charge of your Fertility" to understand female fertility. It would be a great read if you have a vagina OR if you know someone with a vagina. Basic sex-ed.
i just think it’s funny how many people are commenting on the choices she’s making for herself and her body rn.. she’s a grown woman i’m sure she’s aware of all the methods she could be using and if you’re sitting there asking her why she isn’t doing certain ones realize i’m sure she knows what condoms are, some people don’t wanna take certain methods of birth control for reasons like bad side effects or other health reasons, and that some people may take monthly pregnancy tests not because they’re being careless but because, like colleen here, clearly are afraid of getting pregnant and taking a test can relieve unnecessary worries even if she knows she’s being safe. also, what she does or does not do is honestly none of anyone’s business. idk why people find it so hard to mind their own business it’s rly simple
No girl I’m the same, I take a pregnancy tests like every month. I’m pregnant currently and when I took the test I literally had no idea I actually was, I was peeing every five seconds so I just pulled one of my tests out of the drawer that I’ve been purchasing since I had my son and I literally threw my phone on the bathroom floor when the test came back positive
RavenSunset I have an iud and I still get anxious because no method is 100% and if your pregnancy was as traumatic as hers was, you’d want to take tests all the time too just to make sure. Anxiety doesn’t always make sense.
I'm nut sure about all the logistics/medical stuff (im not a doctor), but Im pretty sure the reason that you cannot take birth control while breastfeeding is because of the hormones in BC, and MOST IUDs also have that same issue because they contain hormones to work as well. Although if they don't want anymore genetic/biological children then Eric can always get that taken care of so it is 100% effective, but that's not for everyone.
You seem anxious and insecure. We love you, you’re a great mum, Flynn will look back and idolise you, moose is divine, keep being you, keep being kind 💗
HI FRIENDS! I feel like I should clarify something I said in this video. First of all - YES YOU CAN TAKE BIRTH CONTROL WHEN YOU ARE BREAST FEEDING! Options are limited, but there are certainly ways to take birth control if you are choosing to nurse your child. I said I cannot take birth control while breast feeding but didn't elaborate. My doctor told me the types of birth control I could try that would keep my baby safe while I was nursing and wouldn't deplete my milk supply but it was only 70% effective. I tried it and didn't like how it affected my body and mind so I made the decision to avoid birth control until I was done breast feeding my son. Birth control has very different affects on every woman and I assumed people knew that and would have figured out that I wasn't taking the "baby safe birth control" for personal reasons. But it was a mistake to assume that. I got pregnant very easily last time and YES we are taking every precautionary measure to avoid getting pregnant again, but I didn't think it was necessary OR appropriate to go into the details of how we are avoiding pregnancy during intimacy. So I only mentioned the birth control aspect of it and didn't go into much detail which caused a lot of people to be upset. ONE because I was spreading false information about birth control while breastfeeding because I generalized my personal experience and TWO because a lot of people are concerned about the details of my intimate relationship with my husband (which is a weird thing to be concerned about but go off). In the future I will be sure to clarify that my situation is specific to MY body so as to not spread misinformation. Bottom line - talk to you doctor when it comes to birth control and don't take medical advice from a random youtuber in a silly vlog. ANYWAY - Wash your hands, be kind, and stay safe during this scary time in our world. Love ya'll!
Sorry, Colleen. But the problem goes beyond just clarification on whether or not you use birth control. The problem I had with this video is assuming your very young audience will not take your word for granted regarding your pretty misinformed description of conception/ovulation/menstruation. You have a powerful position with your platform, and you know better than to talk as if you are a medical professional to a bunch of young and impressionable girls. I am disappointed.
I know it’s your personal life and decision to do as you please, but why take so many pregnancy tests if you’re taking all the precautions you can to not get pregnant? For me it doesn’t make sense.
I can' t for the life of me understand why colleen let's this keep happening. Get an iud, use condoms or there are now even male contraceptives, use those... There are so many possibilities and it is so utterly irresponsible to broadcast not having safer sex to such a young audience just for clicks... I'm at a loss for words
Yeah you can get pregnant anytime you have unprotected sex. I got pregnant the day I started and another time the last day of my period so be careful ladies and gents.
*Disclaimer: Yes, I am making some assumptions based on what was said in the video* Colleen - use condoms. It's not fair to have you regularly freaking out about whether or not you're pregnant because sex without a condom feels better. It still feels good with condoms, and the lack of anxiety is worth it for you. The least Erik can do after ALL the work your body went through is suck it up and deal with condoms until an alternative option can be used. Erik - step up and take care of this for her so she doesn't have to go through this panic and anxiety!
I don't understand why he doesn't just get a vasectomy if she knows she doesn't want to get pregnant again. It's an easy procedure for men and it's reversible if she changes her mind in the future.
@@macie5211 Agree 100%. I think a lot of males 1. are afraid, 2. want a "just in case" back-up plan, and 3. many expect that birth control responsibilities fall onto the female.
Yellow labs are the best family dogs! I grew up with a yellow lab and he was the sweetest dog ever! He used to always sleep right next to my head to protect me and my sister at night! He also used to follow us around the neighborhood as kids and pick blackberries with us (yes he actually picked blackberries!) he was soooo so so gentle!
When I was 10 I asked my mom how to get pregnant. She told me that when I love someone. So when I was at recess I hung out with my crush. Then a few days later my stomach was hurting and I told my mom that I thought that I was pregnant bc I fell in love with my crush. TMI
You can get pregnant any time of month, it’s just a lot easier when you’re ovulating. “The stork” will usually wait around for up to five days before dying down... There are no ‘safe’ days, so always use some kind of protection if you don’t want to get pregnant...
You and Erik's sex life and birth control choices are YOURS. I'm sorry to see all the comments telling you options you're already aware of. You do you Colleen, you know what's best and what you're comfortable with as a mother and wife! I really hope I could bring some encouragement and love in the midst of such harsh criticism. 💛 Also, Jack Box is SO FUN.
You can get pregnant if you have unprotected sex while on your period. Please don't give sex education advise if you don't know what you're talking about.
Also sometimes ovulation happens outside of the timeframe that it's generally expected to happen. This is all much more complicated than Colleen makes it out to be
If you went off birth control and had you “period” (which is not a real period when you’re on birth control) but then did not start a new pack of birth control then it makes perfect sense that you got pregnant on the last day of your period. On combined birth control pills you have your break week where you take the placebo pills, where you will bleed but you MUST then continue on after those 7 days with a new pack of birth control, if you don’t take a new pack of birth control your body will then ovulate after a day or two after your original break week. Hope that makes sense and would perfectly explain getting pregnant with Flynn :)

*THIS MAY NOT HELP BUT* .... I had a HORRIBLE first pregnancy, suffered all the same things you did. 2 years later I got pregnant again.....and THANK THE UNIVERSE had NONE of the horrible awful things that happened the first time. Not saying its a sure thing BUT....your body's smart.....it adjusts...and it's been broken in now, lol. So the second time around it handles it better..MOST of the time. Try not to be TOO scared 💖
Yes, just in case.....I've had 3 babies and all 3 pregnancies were different.
I hope Colleen sees this because it’s important that if she does get pregnant again it might not be like her first pregnancy
that's so true, the body is so clever and it changes and adapts!
The same thing happened with me! I was sooo scared when I found out I was pregnant the 2nd time because I thought I was about to suffer for 9 months again but it was breeze! Even the labor/delivery was so easy.
As a mom I think it’s irresponsible that she’s constantly having scares and posting them on the internet for her young viewers to see. If she doesn’t want to get pregnant she should probably use birth control or just not posting it if she is going to choose not to use protection. She’s spreading a lot of misinformation to impressionable young people.
I’m pregnant again with my second. And my first pregnancy was HORRIBLE but my second/current is great!!
Hope it goes well!is it a boy or girl
good for you!
Congrats! Best wishes with your pregnancy ❤
Colleen, you should do a collab with Mama Doctor Jones (once corona madness is over), where she explains to you how getting pregnant works, and all the things you talked about here that you didn't really understand. She has said in the past you are the one youtuber she really wants to collab with, and this is right up her alley. I imagine you might find it helpful to understand it better, and she'd be beyond excited I believe. And I for one would love to watch. So if by some astronomical chance you see this, please look her up and think about it :)
yes!!! this would be great!
Yes!! That would be awesome
I'm surprised people saw this but I'm so glad more of you agree :) I'm not a twitter user, I legitimately don't know how to use it and actually have any chance of Colleen seeing it, but if any of you reading do can you perhaps tweet it at her? Seems to me Colleen is more of a twitter than youtube comment reader :)
YESS I LOVE MAMA DOCTOR JONES ❤️❤️❤️
Yessssss
I mean. You might not want to hear this, but your “weird period” could be what’s called implantation bleeding. It’s super normal when you’re BECOMING pregnant. A lot of women confuse it for their periods, but it’s literally ... implantation and sometimes it causes bleeding. But because you took the pregnancy test immediately after this, it could be too early to take a test and it could be a false negative. So be careful and maybe take another one in a week or so to be safe and if symptoms continue!
Facts
What if she’s actually pregnant tho-
Yes, and digital tests aren’t as sensitive as other tests.
Courtney Elizabeth idk I took a digital test and it came back positive 2 weeks after conception. I was like 3 weeks pregnant
Thank you. You can ovulate earlier than you think - doesn’t mean you’re an “alien.” You cannot get pregnant if you didn’t ovulate. And that wasn’t a period while pregnant, it was implantation bleeding or could have been a hematoma that she passed (happens frequently). I wish she would get a little more educated about the reproductive system before telling people this stuff.
The “period” you have when you stop birth control isnt an actual period it’s just a withdraw bleed. Chances are you did ovulate while you were having that withdrawal bleed. Bodies are weird
Bodies really are weird
Yes!! And you can actually ovulate early! Most people ovulate a week after your period but you can ovulate before your period and during its really weird!
so dont quote me on this but i dont think she takes birth control
not tryna start an argument or anything tho
I.am.amazing 943 no you’re right she doesnt now but she said when she got pregnant she had just stopped her birth control and her period had just ended. That was the “break through bleed” I was referring too.

I feel like the vlogs have become Colleen saying one sentence and then a 5 minute defense against what haters could say... at some point you have to live your life
I notice this too and it makes me so sad for her. That she can’t just speak her mind without all the disclaimers after the fact. It really shows how much she’s been attacked over the years.
soooo sad
I'm replying to everyone else here... You guys don't understand the stress youtubers have to handle, because this is how the make a living. And if they say things that people (aka their subscribers) will unsubscribe and all that complicated stuff.... But also I agree.... Because she is going through a lot of stress lately so don't go too hard on her. ❤❤ everything going on in the world isn't helping any of us and we need to support each other no matter what...
Haters back off

Fun Fact: You can still get pregnant while having your period. The male sperm can live up to five days after ejaculation inside of the female, and ovulation can begin quickly after a female's menstrual cycle especially if the period was heavy or long. Therefore, the theory of "I can't get pregnant if I'm on my period" is a myth commonly shot down by OBGYNs every day. Colleen, I love your videos, and seeing you happy makes me happy. Stay safe and keep doing you, boo!
It is entirely possible to take birth control whilst breastfeeding, it's only for the first month postpartum that estrogen based methods aren't recommended.
And also there are brands that are for breastfeeding moms
Dr. T. Jay I got birth control (iud) and it didn’t affect my breast milk at all and my OB said it was totally safe. I’ve been in it for a year and I’m still breast feeding 😄
Hope Colleen Sees Comments like this! She is spreading Misinformation which is frustrating.

@@shelbyhecox lol Yeah she really does. I call it blissfully ignorant. which is scary
You can still take birth control while breastfeeding......
I got the Nexplanon inserted at my 6 week postpartum check up.
And I still breastfeed and my daughter is 13 months.
Who ever said you can’t get pregnant on your period?!!? YOU CAN MOST DEFINITELY GET PREGNANT ON YOUR PERIOD.
johannaaxd she never said that. She said she just got her period so she’s not pregnant. 😂
@@rachelsark6148 she said that, she said a lot of totally wrongs things
Why getting pregnant on Period that be gross
I assume she didn’t have proper sex education because she is spreading a lot of harmful misinformation. She either needs to do better research or get a new doctor.
she said she can.
You can 100% take birth control while breastfeeding, there’s the mini pill which is safe for breastfeeding! Also CONDOMS if you 100% set on no more babies in your uterus you CAN take the necessary precautions there’s not restrictions while nursing.
I agree with you, but NO protection of any sort is 100% guaranteed to work, but yes she could use those.
Gaybaby ofcourse nothing is 100% but there are options, using them correctly birth control & condoms will most likely result in no babies lol but there’s also tubal ligations and vasectomies if they choose that way. But choosing nothing seems irresponsible if they are trying to prevent pregnancy.
@@mrsgoed859 my thoughts exactly 🙄 if you were serious about avoiding pregnancy youd take the steps to properly prevent it and vasectomies are super quick and easy and reversible, tube typing or clamping or whatever not reversible and far more invasive but also an option of erik doesnt want to go through with a vasectomy
Mrs Goed you can pregnant
She never said that they’re not using alternative measures, but as previously mentioned in this comment section, nothing is 100% effective so it is incredibly responsible of her to take pregnancy tests if she thinks she might be pregnant. Please don’t come for a woman who knows how to take care of her own body by trying to tell her how to do so.
I'm breastfeeding and on the pill. It's a progestogen-only pill, which is safe to take when breastfeeding.
Ladies: You can get pregnant at ANY TIME during your cycle, that's why the "rhythm method" or tracking when you are not ovulating is NOT a successful form of birth control... stay safe and informed :)
THIS THIS THIS!! Your comment should be pinned. I am worried that Colleen's very young and impressionable audience will get the wrong idea about this.
I agree. If this sort of thing is going to be discussed, the information given needs to be clear and factual. I'm 27 with a family of my own and can't tell whether or not condoms are being used so how are children/young adults meant to understand?
Not to mention what I'm sure is exaggeration- needing to use the bathroom every 15 minutes. If this is happening, please see a GP!
It is fabulous that this channel is a safe space to talk about periods etc but let's stay factual and transparent to ensure no incorrect information is used by anybody over such an important matter like pregnancy.
Brooke Ashley 💯
Kind of, but not really. The only way you can get pregnant is if sperm meets ovum. Sperm lives for up to 7 days, and the ovum lives for up to 48 hours, so if you have unprotected sex a week before the day of ovulation you can fall pregnant. It's not a simple science, so if you aren't ready to support a child or have a child with the person you're having sex with, USE PROTECTION. But if you're married, like me, and just don't quite have the money, FAM is VERY accurate. It's not a "rhythm" method though, as cycles change. You have to be super diligent with temperature taking and checking cervical mucus.
Sorry for the rant I just feel like there are a lot of women on birth control unnecessarily and it does have a lot of awful side effects so if you have the patience and willpower to go natural I recommend it!
And saying that you can't use birth control while breastfeeding... you absolutely can! Some are very safe ! This video is a little... maybe not irresponsible but definitely misinforming
There ARE forms of birth control you can do while breastfeeding. Just talk to your doctor. I got an IUD. So easy.
That sounds terrible, I’m so sorry! But you’re right, not everyone has that experience! And it’s totally an individual’s decision to make. I’m not trying to say she should get one. But just sharing that I was able to get one and continue to breastfeed. And I’m really thankful that I don’t have to stress about getting pregnant!
One of my friends got a IUD and got a bad infection to the point she had to have a hysterectomy. Till this day has problems.
I love my IUD, the placement wasn't the most pleasant but for me the pain was worth it. I appreciate that it can last for 10 years and I am slighty protected even if something unexpected happens
Any form of progesterone only birth control or the Paragard copper IUD are SAFE while breast feeding. Progesterone will not affect breast milk production. Progesterone contraception comes in multiple different forms: the mini pill [just like a normal oral birth control pill], the hormonal IUD [Mirena, Skyla, Liletta], the implant [Nexplanon] and the depo provera injection.
yes! When I was breastfeeding, I was on an estrogen only pill. Once i stopped breastfeeding I got switched to a combination pill.
There definitely IS birth control you can take while breastfeeding. There's the shots, IUD, lots of different ways to not get pregnant if that's what you really want..
They could also just use condoms or not have sex! If she's really that scared of getting pregnant I hope she takes precautions
There’s a lot of birth control you can take while breastfeeding. If your dr told you no, find a new dr. Girl.
There is a mini pill but she may not want to alter her hormones while breastfeeding.
I’m exclusively breastfeeding and I got the paraguard iud since I didn’t want to take anything with hormones, it’s great
Sarah Thomas there is also the copper iud. It is hormone-free
For some people an IUD is not the option for them whether a personal choice or health reasons. All medical decisions are a personal choice
I am breastfeeding and on a pill form of birth control so it’s definitely out there!!
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not one soul:
Colleen: because I’m FERTILE MERTLE
😂 I used to say that all the time when I was in my twenties lol then I got pregnant 3 times 😁😨😂😂
3 year's in a row....
Why doesn't Erik get a Vasectomy? It's reversible and he can walk away from it the same day as the procedure. I'm confused...
What does that mean ?
Basically means it's physically impossible to have children. Like a guy version of getting his tubes tied.
Michelle Johansen also, it’s non invasive and so much simpler than a women having a v invasive surgery to have her tubes tied and then if in the future she wants to get pregnant they can keep samples or just reverse it.
This is what I want to know 🤨
Exactly!!!
Yes you can take birth control whilst breastfeeding, progesterone only pill.
You can take birth control while breastfeeding..
Ikr 🙄🙄🙄
Everyone needs to start watching Mama Doctor Jones on TH-cam.
I'm breastfeeding and there are loads of birth control options.
Girl, get a new doctor. Lol
If you are just now showing symptoms and just had a “period” no test will say you’re pregnant. That could have been implantation bleeding, which would mean it could take a little for a positive. I had a weird period so I thought I was pregnant, I had the symptoms, but nooo test came back positive. But I knew I was pregnant. And now guess what? I was pregnant 😂 also, digital tests 100% take more of the HCG hormone to show positive! Try the cheapie tests from Walmart or the early detection dye tests. Not saying your ARE pregnant. I’m just saying you wouldn’t get a positive right away and definitely not on a digital test!
Also. I don’t know WHAT you exactly went through or HOW it made you feel, but try to take comfort in the fact that EVERY pregnancy is different. So just because you had the worst end of the stick with Flynn doesn’t Necessarily mean if you got pregnant again, it would be exactly the same. But i do understand the fear since with Flynn it was so bad. But try to take comfort in that...
Hannah Niles i feel like she’d know the difference from implantation bleeding (spotting) and full blown first day uterine lining shedding period blood
zoot boot My mom didn’t
Justin HG she must have a very light first day. mine is like letting down the flood gates. lol.
zoot boot not necessarily. Implantation bleeding can be as heavy as a regular period. Though that’s not ridiculously common, it does happen. My implantation bleeding for my daughter (current pregnancy), was relatively heavy, as in was not just spotting. 🤷🏼♀️ I think it really does just depend.
@@Corn22 idk I've never been pregnant but ik my periods arent always in line with another and sometimes they will be for 2-3 days light spotting then others 7 days moderate and it's not like I just got it either this only started happening recently the past 3 years have been steady till now
Why not take precautions if you’re so worried about it all the time? Also not every pregnancy is the same..., many women reported having super easy pregnancy and then the next one is horrible or vise versa !
I know right? Why doesn’t she just use condoms and even if she is, she should clarify that she and Erik are using condoms
All 3 of my pregnancy were completely different. Easier in some ways harder in others 🤣
Exactly birth control is a thing now
Samantha Maxwell have you watched the video? Lmao. She said she isn't going to/cant take birth control because she's breastfeeding
카리유노? Yes and that’s not a valid excuse since there are many safe forms of birth control now
I don't know what Colleen's personal medical picture is, so I'm not speaking for her, but just a PSA, progestin- only hormonal birth control is completely safe and effective while breastfeeding. If you are in a situation where you are wanting or needing to prevent pregnancy-please talk to your Dr about birth control! There are lots of options-nexplanon (implant) the patch, the shot, and several brands of the pill, along with barrier methods. I am concerned about the misinformation here, especially for a younger audience. Colleen is a very wealthy adult in a stable, safe relationship and can afford to risk pregnancy repeatedly. But so many people actually can't afford to have unsafe/unprotected sex. The last thing we need to do as grown women is to model unsafe sex to teenagers.
Birth control is completely safe, it's only estrogen based methods that aren't advised for the first month postpartum.
Also, birth control does not always have to be the woman's responsibility! Erik could easily get a vasectomy and then they wouldn't have to worry about it at all. It's a simple procedure and it's typically reversible.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thank you!! I'm wondering what doctor told her she couldn't be on birth control while breastfeeding, that's absolutely not true. I've done it!
10:25 is Flynn wadling on a walker😐 the cutest thing ever😫😍
I cant be the only one thinking "what about condoms?" And don't say you're allergic because they make non-latex ones. Theres so many different ways to protect against pregnancy, and theres also alot of different birth controls that you CAN take while breast feeding.
Beth ASMR orrrrrrr since she doesn’t want to give birth anymore why not get your tubes tied so if she wanted to change her mind she can get them untied.. beings they want to adopt now? Idk if that makes sense maybe I’m wrong if so tell me why! Please (:
@@SKINBYSKYE Tubes cannot be untied. It's meant to be a permanent procedure. You can find out all about it in Mama DoctorJones' latest video.
Beth ASMR I must be talking about something else, either way I still love and support them (: I was just throwing my thought out there.
I used to get symptoms and would take pregnancy tests and was always negative. I went to the doctor to get checked and I was having liver complications and the doctor told me that liver complications symptoms are like if you're pregnant symptoms. You should get a physical if you haven't yet. I hope you're well. 💛
Can't wait for Mama Doctor Jones to come in here & mythbust the hell out of this video lol
Thank you 😂 she needs to learn about cycle days and not have sex the last day of her period if she doesn’t want to get pregnant
Right she is telling people you cant use birth control while breastfeeding but you can.
And she's saying she got pregnant when she wasn't ovulating and that ovulation is "day 10" when it varies person to person and cycle to cycle. And YOU CANNOT GET PREGNANT NOT WHILE OVULATING. It's possible to ovulate the last day of your period, plus if that's not the case sperm can live in there for 5-6 days.
Lol 😂😂 some women just randomly can drop eggs when their bodies weren’t “supposed” to ovulate. This would explain the egg dropping and being fertilized on the last day of her period.
It bothers me she spread misinformation about birth control and breastfeeding
XD samus yea I’m pretty irritated about that
Same!!
Same!! Like you can 100% be on birth control she needs to take some time and talk to her doctor
Not only that but also how she's spreading misinformation about WHEN you can get pregnant. You can get pregnant at any time during the month, not only when you're ovulating. You have a higher chance of getting pregnant when you're ovulating, yes, but you can be and get pregnant at any point during your cycle.
She’s always spreading misinformation.. it’s her thing..
You absolutely CAN take birth control while breastfeeding. Many kinds.
As soon as i gave birth, i got a prescription for a specific birth control since i planned to breastfeed. So if she used pills birth control before, she should get informed about those pill birth control that would allow her to keep breastfeeding safely
Or a non hormonal IUD??
This may not sound ideal, especially if one of you have allergies, but condoms have a 98% effective rate! They may not feel as great, but if I was that scared of getting pregnant... I would for sure take more precautions.
Elizabeth Lewis exactly!!
@@husnaavhora6485 Isn't this like her third video that goes 'I AM NOT PREGNANT"? I'm annoyed.

Kate Pastorelli You should probably exit out of the video as well, friend. But genuinely, I just searched and this is the only video that has come up.
Just so you know those digital tests require a lot more HCG hormone to let you know you are pregnant .....if you are still feeling me symptoms I would wait another two days and take a regular pregnancy test and not a digital
Kileys World YES!!! Those ALWAYS come back negative unless you are literally MONTHS pregnant
I lowkey kinda hope shes pregnant even though she doesnt.. i just rlly want Flynn to have a sibling. I feel so bad saying that but its the truth
I got a positive on digital 2 days after my missed period. However, she said she had a period so idk lol
I got a positive on a digital test literally the day of my missed period! So it's probably true they take more HCG but they're still good at early detection
@@sophiebelk1793 that is horrible. Why would you want that for someone who doesn't want to get pregnant.
Would Eric consider a vasectomy?? Only takes a weekend recovery, its reversible... I think xxx
It is reversible! 😅
@@RoisinColette I think there's a window of reversibility. Albeit, a long window. But I heard after 8-10 years its not likely you can get 'dem spermies to come back.

Why do I feel like next time she takes a pregnancy test she's actually gonna be pregnant
Ikr

Now Colleen is saying she’s going through personal stuff and it could be pregnant when not wanting to be and not knowing what to do. I saw another comment saying if she was pregnant it wouldn’t be likely to come up as positive if it hasn’t been that long. But I don’t want to assume anything as it’s completely none of business but that’s just a unlikely thought
You can take the micropill when breastfeeding. I took it with my last two pregnancies. Unless you're having issues with your milk supply, it should not be an issue for you. You can use the IUD, as well. Or you can do the rhythm method, which it sounds like you're doing.
The rhythm method has a very high accidental pregnancy rate, and obviously isn't really putting her mind at ease. They should be using other forms of birth control so that she isn't going through these spurts of anxiety and stress.
What about trying IUD or contraceptive implant? Those are very safe and you can use them while you are breastfeeding. You can go to your closest clinic and ask for it 😊
The whole video was Colleen apologizing and explaining herself. I wish she didn’t have to do that ):
I love how collens like "no one wants me to vlog" literaly everyone umm youre wrong

Her pregnancy videos were so honest and open that they helped me tremendously on what to expect with mine. My pregnancy has not been nearly as bad as hers was but I’m still thankful for the knowledge. I will say I get horrible hip pain to the point I really can’t lay on my right side anymore and it’s one of the worst things.
Ovulating is 14 days after the last day of your period and you can get pregnant at anytime it's just a higher chance of the egg actually fertilizing but you can get pregnant any day
*please share the correct information for us adolescent girls
Ninotshka Martinez-Valle actually, about 14 days after the FIRST day of your period. And the sperm can stay viable up to a week in the woman’s body. So if one has a long period it is very possible to fall pregnant during their period.
It is variable. Everything is variable. Cycle length and therefore at what point in the cycle you ovulate is different for every women. Could be ten days. Could be 14. Could be 20.
It’s not always 14 days. Some women ovulate early, and some ovulate much later. I’m consistently between days 4 and 6. Important to note.
condoms! are! helpful! if you don't want to get pregnant again, birth control isn't the ONLY option to avoid that :) like... just take precautions!
Exactly
So my brother and his girlfriend always use condoms and well now I have two beautiful nieces.
So I breastfeed too and I got the nexplanon and it doesnt affect anything
I love my nexplanon! It’s a lifesaver!
Are you going to do this every month until you actually are pregnant? Cause it’s already getting a bit stale. If you don’t want to get pregnant again then invest in a long term contraceptive like an inter-uterine contraceptive device.
And there are LOADS of breastfeeding safe contraception options. I’m a midwife in NZ and our women often start their contraception before they even leave the hospital after giving birth here, and many, many women breastfeed in NZ.

@@rhiannoncrawford6293 Please educate yourself on progesterone only contraception and the copper IUD as these are all safe while breast feeding.

A lot of women can't take birth control because of how it affects their bodies. Doesnt mattet what kind says it is safe, each body reacts differently.
Have you or Eric considered possibly taking specific “options” to ensure you don’t get pregnant?
I'd like to offer some of my knowledge concerning the whole ovulating/getting pregnant on your period thing. So basically you ovulate 14 days before the beginning of your next period, so we say that it's usually 10 days after the end of a period because the average cycle is 28 days and the average period length is 4 days. But that's not how you should count because everyone's cycle is different. Let's say you get your period very often, like every 20 days, and it lasts a long time, like 7 days in a row, you'll be ovulating at 20-14=day 6 while you'll still be on your period!
Also, you have a five day window to get pregnant around this ovulation because the sperm can live up to 4 days in the uterus and the egg only 24 hours, so if you do have sex outside of this 5 days window you can't get pregnant (never say never but what I mean is that it's highly unlikely) BUT this window can be happening during your period as I explained earlier, so ALWAYS protect yourself even while bleeding, because it can totally happen!
Anyways hope it was helpful, and clear enough (English isn't my first language)
Source : I'm a midwife student 🤷♀️
You can still be on birth control and breast feed...
Eric should consider getting a vasectomy. They're reversible, and effective.
No, they’re not meant to be reversible.
I Vasectomies usually be reversed or you can have children through artificial insemination after having a vasectomy by having sperm harvested from the testicles if you’d like to have a child but don’t want to (or can’t) have your vasectomy reversed. It can be expensive, but I’m sure it’s something they can afford if they chose to go down that route.
I YES they ARE meant to be reversible if they weren't they wouldn't be!
I actually ya they are meant to be reversible
You definitely CAN be pregnant while having intercourse during periods because:
1) it depends on your cycle, you may have very short cycles and ovulate very close to the end of your periods;
2) because of that, you start having cervical mucus being produced and sometimes even mixed in with your period blood, hence you can't really see it if you don't know about this mucus;
and 3) this mucus, when fertile (creamy/watery/eggwhite-like, all the period BEFORE and DURING ovulation time) is meant to nourish and help sperms get into the uterus to wait for and eventually fertilize the ovum/egg.
Keep in mind that men are fertile EACH TIME they have intercourse, and women are not, BUT our bodies do everything they can to maximize the chance of getting pregnant, so having sex before ovulating is basically the BEST way of getting pregnant, because of the sperms being all cozy and warm in the reproductive system waiting for mister Eggy to show up! x)
Thank you for applying to this course, class is over now :p
Eric can get a vasectomy so you don't have to be constantly scared of getting pregnant, and it is reversible if eventually you decide to have another pregnancy
Flynn and moose are literally the cutest ever when they are togetherrrrr
You absolutely can be on birth control and breastfeed at the same time.

i just think it’s funny how many people are commenting on the choices she’s making for herself and her body rn.. she’s a grown woman i’m sure she’s aware of all the methods she could be using and if you’re sitting there asking her why she isn’t doing certain ones realize i’m sure she knows what condoms are, some people don’t wanna take certain methods of birth control for reasons like bad side effects or other health reasons, and that some people may take monthly pregnancy tests not because they’re being careless but because, like colleen here, clearly are afraid of getting pregnant and taking a test can relieve unnecessary worries even if she knows she’s being safe. also, what she does or does not do is honestly none of anyone’s business. idk why people find it so hard to mind their own business it’s rly simple
This regular test taking almost gives off vibe that you don't know what condoms and other forms off protection/prevention are XD
There are forms of birth control while you’re breast feeding.

@@hayleymarse2853 Peace and Love : )
The copper IUD doesn’t have the hormones that can affect milk supply.
why not get an IUD then? I'm not trying to be mean but it would at least stop you from being so anxious about it.
RavenSunset I have an iud and I still get anxious because no method is 100% and if your pregnancy was as traumatic as hers was, you’d want to take tests all the time too just to make sure. Anxiety doesn’t always make sense.
I'm nut sure about all the logistics/medical stuff (im not a doctor), but Im pretty sure the reason that you cannot take birth control while breastfeeding is because of the hormones in BC, and MOST IUDs also have that same issue because they contain hormones to work as well. Although if they don't want anymore genetic/biological children then Eric can always get that taken care of so it is 100% effective, but that's not for everyone.

You can take birth control while breastfeeding...
Wear condoms question mark???
HI FRIENDS! I feel like I should clarify something I said in this video. First of all - YES YOU CAN TAKE BIRTH CONTROL WHEN YOU ARE BREAST FEEDING! Options are limited, but there are certainly ways to take birth control if you are choosing to nurse your child. I said I cannot take birth control while breast feeding but didn't elaborate. My doctor told me the types of birth control I could try that would keep my baby safe while I was nursing and wouldn't deplete my milk supply but it was only 70% effective. I tried it and didn't like how it affected my body and mind so I made the decision to avoid birth control until I was done breast feeding my son. Birth control has very different affects on every woman and I assumed people knew that and would have figured out that I wasn't taking the "baby safe birth control" for personal reasons. But it was a mistake to assume that. I got pregnant very easily last time and YES we are taking every precautionary measure to avoid getting pregnant again, but I didn't think it was necessary OR appropriate to go into the details of how we are avoiding pregnancy during intimacy. So I only mentioned the birth control aspect of it and didn't go into much detail which caused a lot of people to be upset. ONE because I was spreading false information about birth control while breastfeeding because I generalized my personal experience and TWO because a lot of people are concerned about the details of my intimate relationship with my husband (which is a weird thing to be concerned about but go off). In the future I will be sure to clarify that my situation is specific to MY body so as to not spread misinformation. Bottom line - talk to you doctor when it comes to birth control and don't take medical advice from a random youtuber in a silly vlog. ANYWAY - Wash your hands, be kind, and stay safe during this scary time in our world. Love ya'll!
Sorry, Colleen. But the problem goes beyond just clarification on whether or not you use birth control. The problem I had with this video is assuming your very young audience will not take your word for granted regarding your pretty misinformed description of conception/ovulation/menstruation. You have a powerful position with your platform, and you know better than to talk as if you are a medical professional to a bunch of young and impressionable girls. I am disappointed.
I know it’s your personal life and decision to do as you please, but why take so many pregnancy tests if you’re taking all the precautions you can to not get pregnant? For me it doesn’t make sense.
I can' t for the life of me understand why colleen let's this keep happening. Get an iud, use condoms or there are now even male contraceptives, use those... There are so many possibilities and it is so utterly irresponsible to broadcast not having safer sex to such a young audience just for clicks... I'm at a loss for words
Colleen YOU KNOW HOW YOU TAKE SO MANY PREGNANCY TEST!!!! THATS HOW MUCH YOU SHOULD USEEEEEE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LOL 😂
Love your vids during this stressful time 😀
If she gets pregnant now, in 2033 she'll have a quaranteen!
Rebecca Bricker An underrated comment. Well done. 👏🏻😂👏🏻
Not exactly original but hey still funny 🤷
You absolutely can get pregnant outside of the 10 days and on your period. Colleen. You aren't an alien. That's some misinformation 😂
“It” stays 5 days after it has entered you. That is possibly how you got pregnant.
is ‘it’ sperm? 😂
@@luvpcralta9166 yea
Xxx
Yeah you can get pregnant anytime you have unprotected sex. I got pregnant the day I started and another time the last day of my period so be careful ladies and gents.
*Disclaimer: Yes, I am making some assumptions based on what was said in the video*
Colleen - use condoms. It's not fair to have you regularly freaking out about whether or not you're pregnant because sex without a condom feels better. It still feels good with condoms, and the lack of anxiety is worth it for you. The least Erik can do after ALL the work your body went through is suck it up and deal with condoms until an alternative option can be used.
Erik - step up and take care of this for her so she doesn't have to go through this panic and anxiety!
I don't understand why he doesn't just get a vasectomy if she knows she doesn't want to get pregnant again. It's an easy procedure for men and it's reversible if she changes her mind in the future.
@@macie5211 Agree 100%. I think a lot of males 1. are afraid, 2. want a "just in case" back-up plan, and 3. many expect that birth control responsibilities fall onto the female.
Yellow labs are the best family dogs! I grew up with a yellow lab and he was the sweetest dog ever! He used to always sleep right next to my head to protect me and my sister at night! He also used to follow us around the neighborhood as kids and pick blackberries with us (yes he actually picked blackberries!) he was soooo so so gentle!
When I was 10 I asked my mom how to get pregnant. She told me that when I love someone. So when I was at recess I hung out with my crush. Then a few days later my stomach was hurting and I told my mom that I thought that I was pregnant bc I fell in love with my crush. TMI
Braelyn Girl that is the cutest thing!!❤️❤️❤️
So stinkin cute
You can get pregnant any time of month, it’s just a lot easier when you’re ovulating. “The stork” will usually wait around for up to five days before dying down... There are no ‘safe’ days, so always use some kind of protection if you don’t want to get pregnant...
You and Erik's sex life and birth control choices are YOURS. I'm sorry to see all the comments telling you options you're already aware of. You do you Colleen, you know what's best and what you're comfortable with as a mother and wife! I really hope I could bring some encouragement and love in the midst of such harsh criticism. 💛
Also, Jack Box is SO FUN.
You can get pregnant if you have unprotected sex while on your period. Please don't give sex education advise if you don't know what you're talking about.
LizzyHertlein who are you talking to? She said in the video that she got pregnant on the last day of her period so obviously she believes you can.
You know she’s real when she is wearing the same thing in the last 3 vlogs😂
I love these videos💞💞they help me feel not alone in this corona disaster
Then use protection lol 😂
That’s a pretty common myth you can for sure get pregnant during your period because I think sperm can live in your body for a long time
Exactly
Also sometimes ovulation happens outside of the timeframe that it's generally expected to happen. This is all much more complicated than Colleen makes it out to be
yes up to two weeks i think and besides the embryo can take a while to implant in the uterus
If you went off birth control and had you “period” (which is not a real period when you’re on birth control) but then did not start a new pack of birth control then it makes perfect sense that you got pregnant on the last day of your period. On combined birth control pills you have your break week where you take the placebo pills, where you will bleed but you MUST then continue on after those 7 days with a new pack of birth control, if you don’t take a new pack of birth control your body will then ovulate after a day or two after your original break week. Hope that makes sense and would perfectly explain getting pregnant with Flynn :)
What about condoms? I know they’re not 100% effective, but still
