3:40 - if the combined pill prevents egg release would it mean that a female on this method for a long period of time will have a higher reserve of eggs when she is older compared to a version of herself where she was not on the pill and therefore released eggs monthly?
There's an old joke about a newlywed couple visiting a doctor to find about a 100% effective birth control. He looked through several medical books, then sat back and told them there was a 100% effective birth control - eat an apple. They were astonished by this, and asked if they should eat the apple before, during, or after sex. He smiled, then told them, "instead of".
I had an IUD put in years ago which I've since had removed after it failed. It's insertion remains hands down the worst pain that I've experienced in my life. Zero pain relief given. A second nurse came into the room before it began and I asked if she was going to assist the doctor - nope, she was literally just there to hold my hand, because it was "going to be bad"

Yeah, I fainted from mine. Hardly "just some pinching"...
I had a similar experience, except they told me it wouldn't hurt after it was seated. It never stopped. Matter of fact, it got worse and worse, to the point that I was acutely aware of it at all times. It took an emergency walk-in appointment with my primary doctor to get it removed because my gyn didn't seem to believe that it never stopped causing significant pain. As it turns out, having an undetected sizeable fibroid can make having an IUD _excruciatingly_ painful.
I feel like I’m the only person that truly doesn’t have any pain getting my IUD inserted. I’ve had 3 out in and none of them hurt. I’m grateful of course but so confused on why this is lol. And I wouldn’t consider myself someone that has a high pain tolerance.

@@ashleyholmes28 My mum is the same and told me it would be no big deal. 😅I have a high pain tolerance. Like breaking toes and "walking it off" pain tolerance. But yeah, almost 25 years ago and I still remember that pain of inserting the IUD VIVIDLY.
Best birth control(s) are babysitting my niece for almost a year while juggling with online classes during COVID and being an elementary teacher. Stuff so effective I didn't have to buy it off pharmacies or sh-t.
I actually got pregnant with an IUD. Also note if a tubal ligation isn't done correctly a woman may end up with a hysterectomy a few years later as endometrial tissue can migrate and cause issues in a woman abdomen - which also happened to me... at least now I don't have to worry about pregnancies since I'm totally spayed.
@@Alice-si8uz I know it's the same procedure, but I though it had a different name for humans ..... like an "autopsy" is the medical examination of a human corpse, but it's a "necropsy" when performed on an animal.
@@glennjpanting2081 😂 I always say I've been *_spayed_* too because it makes light of a very serious situation (pre-surgery) and it's also easier to openly answer follow-up questions if there are any. 😎
Thank you for producing this very educational content! There is so much misinformation and bias that is understandably spread when it comes to such a sensitive topic. As an OBGYN I totally approve this message! Still remember teaching with you in that lab 15-16 years ago. You carry on Mark’s Legacy well.
Honestly the statistics was extremely stressful for me as a teenager, with condom as my/our choice of birth control (didn't want to deal with side effects of hormonal contraception). But after almost 7 years of it being the only contraceptive used, I had no problem, no slipping condom, not one broken condom. All we had to do was use proper size, use it every time and use appropriate lube. Wouldn't change a thing honestly.
or, be like me. i have a very low tolerance for stupidity and a short fuse a fair amount of the time. and, be introverted! great i just depressed myself :|
@@lil_bit_editz6077It's interesting when you hear people say "my husband has been using pullout for 25 years and no pregnancy". But they never had a kid either so it's possible the husband is infertile, lol
I've been thinking about how not wanting children and thus getting with people who don't want children, while a good thing in terms of value alignment, can be a bad thing in terms of pregnancy related risk. Not only you are risking to have a kid you didn't want, but also to be abandoned by your partner cause kids weren't in the agreement. I feel like that's the story behind how single parents are made...
I considered an IUD but read the fine print and was deterred. The fine print stated that there was increased risk of expulsion if I'd never been pregnant/had children. It also stated a risk of INTERNAL PERFORATION by the device! I have since learned that for many women IUD insertion was excruciating and for some worse pain than childbirth! This is due to many women not getting proper pain management from doctors. Instead I opted for the Nexplanon implant. They have recently learned that the Nexplanon is actually effective for 5 years. I just looked at the card in my wallet yesterday with the insertion and removal date so I am absolutely certain it is 5 years. For me, Nexplanon has been fantastic. I recognize that for other women it is a disaster so your mileage will vary.
Nexplanon gave me peripheral neuropathy, or in other words I was given opioids for my intense discomfort and pain as I think I may have been too skinny for the device to be implanted properly and no doctor warned me of this. When they removed it, they grabbed it with forceps and yanked, pulling my arm and me with it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@jernkeen8734 I made the same choice. At four years I have no pregnancies, but I am considering getting it removed sometime before five years if life works out so we can start the TTC journey. I knew somebody who went wild and left it in for six with no pregnancies and one woman who got pregnant two years in because sometimes life just finds a way.
I used the copper IUD i took that shit out after 4 months due to making my periods heavier to the point I had to switch to depends underwear instead of tampons or pads and my cramps were way more severe.
I got a copper IUD about 2 years ago after being on and off the pill and having the depo-provera shot and I am very happy with my decision. I was doing okay-ish with the hormonal pill (the shot wrecked me), but I wasn’t having a regular period, which resulted in worry about pregnancy scares. I also wanted something I could just forget about because I’m not in a committed relationship so not consistently active, but the pill has to be started some days in advance to be effective. The insertion for me was literally painless, my OB gave me a cervix softener and went during/right before my period, which I hear helps. The worst pain was the cramps following the hour after the appointment that lasted the few days after, like bad menstrual cramps, honestly semi-debilitating, but not the worst on the pain scale (maybe 6-7/10). I have no bad symptoms except the sudden onset of menstrual cramps during my actual period for the first few cycles proceeding insertion and being able to feel the string, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but awkward to explain to partners. I would recommend any women looking for a hormone free option to consider the copper IUD, and talk to your doctor of course! :)
Mine wasn't as smooth sailing and painful with insertion but I would still do it again for the peace of mind combined with the hormonal contraception I have to take for other health problems anyways, regardless of sexual activity. It's a great option for many people!
Also, do you know what the "cervix softening" was? As far as explaining the IUD "strings" (they're more like wires IMO) to partners goes, you might wanna let them know that (depending on a few factors) there may be a non-zero chance of it stabbing them inside the urethra. Holy hell that hurts.
@@user-Aaron- if your partner feels the strings during sex they need to be trimmed. My doctor was the actual GOAT. I had a few cramps at insertion, no bleeding or pain afterwards. My man has never felt anything stab him. Only thing I would say was mildly annoying were the longer heavier periods. The copper iud is probably the best form of bc out there.
This is really critical content that isn't always communicated this well - not even close. Thank you for posting this accurate information in such an easy to understand form!
It's not accurate as he completely downplays the effects of hormones on women and how bad the side effects can be of the IUD forms. He's just a male mansplaining stuff when he hasn't bothered to look into womens experiences with the topic he's talking about ugh. I usually find his content quite good but he dropped the ball on this video.
Ladies or anyone else taking estrogen, if you use hormonal birth control for a while please make sure you get regular checkups. I didn't until I was 27 and found out my birth control, that I was taking since my teen years for menstrual control, gave me liver tumors. I would have never known until they caused problems had it not been for a regular checkup blood test. The good news is they can be completely reversed by stopping hormonal birth control (I had "at least 3" tumors with the largest being 4cm in diameter, they were all gone by the time I finally got a follow up exam 6 years later). If you want a hysterectomy it makes for the perfect excuse to get one if you have a good doctor though! lol
@@user-Aaron- "how do you know the liver tumours were caused by your birth control?": The entire instruction leaflet is full of potential side effects. The gist of it is that birth control has been proven to cause pretty much every medical problem that you can think of.
@@07Flash11MRC Yes, I'm aware of the list of side effects, but I'm also aware that correlation =/= causation, and am curious to know if OP was able to figure that out somehow because it's not easy to do.
@@user-Aaron- " I'm aware of the list of side effects": It's not just "a list". Those are the side effects you can expect if you plan to take hormones. It has already been prove to be causation with all of those, that's why they are written on the leaflet. "am curious to know if OP was able to figure that out somehow because it's not easy to do": It's quite easy to figure it out. That's literally what doctors (endocrinologists) do in their researh. This happens before the medicine is allowed to be available on the market.
I take prescribed birth control for almost 8 years nowadays. Only for medical reasons. I am aro/ace and celibate, a virgin. I started taking it because before I had such pains during menstruation that I sometimes even lost consciousness. So unfortunately I can't stop taking it. I will try to check with my gynecologist every year
For me, I cant do hormones because they make me bleed for months without stop I cannot do IUD because thay one bruised my cervix and then FELL OUT. Can't do condoms because lubricants dry me out and make it painful and non lubricants irritate my skin (i have sensitive skin that tears easily) And I'm allergic to spermicide. I'm definitely planning to remove the tubes and not have to worry anymore!
I got a bilateral salpingectomy and uterine ablation in May of 2023. Best decision of my entire life. It took 15 years and 6 doctors in 3 different states before anyone would agree to do it on me(I'm child free)... But best thing ever.
Yay another person with a bisalp ^v^ I had mine last year, so happy with it! Do you mind if I ask how your experience with your ablation was? I'm interested in it, but not yet completely sure of the choice. I'm a little worried about the, admittedly incredibly small, increase in uterine cancer, and possible dryness.
@@lynn9265 I think the ablation was just as good of a decision as the bisalp. I have no periods and I ended up having a few endometrial fibroids removed as well that the doc found. As for dryness, that hasn't been an issue for me.
@@bluetickbeagles116 I'm not a woman, but I could not agree more!

I’m not even sure how to take your comment. You just sound ignorant. Do you think lesbians aren’t real? There are plenty of women on this rock who would prefer to bed other women versus a dude. Do not care if you don’t like it.
If the functions of balls are disabled (may be permanent), can we say that vasectomied guys have no balls? there's no difference if they hadn't them actually isn't it? :D
Curious guy here, do your testicles hurt weeks/months after surgery? Or do they feel basically the same? I'm worried about developing chronic pain and swelling after the surgery.
Fertility awareness method (aka natural family planning) isn't for everyone, but I am so happy that I took the time to do my research and figure out how to track my cycle for the purpose of birth control. When done correctly, FAM/NFP is 99% effective. My husband and I have been together for 10 years, doing FAM/NFP for 5, and we've never had a pregnancy scare. And, without being too TMI, we are absolutely not sacrificing having fun. When I was on the pill I didn't even enjoy sex that much, and now not only does sex feel better for both of us, but I have also improved my health by just understanding my body better. I track my basal body temperature, cervical mucus, when I get my period, and when I first started I tracked my ovulation with luteinizing hormone strips. I still keep track of these metrics, but now I can just tell by how I'm feeling without looking at my tracking app when I'm ovulating or about to get my period.
I do that. I know where I am without looking, but still record it all. I'd been doing it 10 years already before I spontaneously ovulated when my period was due, and got pregnant. So I don't think that 99% (which is said everywhere) is accurate.
Do you have a regular period? Mine is irregular. I also use fam-methods but mostly to determine when i will have my period in 2 weeks instead of having a surprise party in my panties 😅
Omg I had a very similar experience with the pill!! Natural Cycles is a good app for the lazy girls 😅 If you have a newer Apple Watch or the oura ring, it’ll automatically get your basal temp (otherwise gotta manually take it right upon waking) & over time, the algorithm will get the ovulation window down to like 4 or 5 days a month you have to use protection. I only have my baby now because my app said “use protection, you’re about to ovulate” & I said HAHA YOLO! Boom. I’m a mom 😂 Didn’t know I would like being one so much so it’s a happy oops 🥰 After the initial shock of course. The app is a subscription though so I definitely see the appeal in just learning your body as you described!
@@tinypixiekitten7806 Were you using a calendar method? Those are not as reliable. If you were tracking cervical mucus and basal body temp you probably would have noticed signs of ovulation.
@@dodopson3211Mine is also irregular, from 32 to 40 days. Check out Taking Charge of Your Fertility if you haven't already. That's where I started and am no longer surprised. I can pinpoint mine within a day or two once I have ovulation confirmed.
I don't get it: why do you compare sterilization with an IUD? Logically enough vasectomy is pretty much the male counterpart to women's tubal sterilization. Sterilization is always the safest choice. Then there are contraceptives on the other hand that are always more fallible for obvious reasons. In many countries doctors have more qualms sterilizing women than men, as if there were remnants of traditional values in the mindset of medical practitioners... Hopefully this will soon be a thing of the past. Tubal sterilization ought to be a routine surgery on demand like vasectomy is. The safest way to avoid all risks is that each partner undergoes sterilization. IUDs can fail too...
I have a hormonal IUD and I like it but it's starting to get a bit annoying for me because I have a small uterus and sex can actually be painful. Like, the teen size one was almost too big. I'm terrible at remembering to take pills even with an alarm so probably swapping to the implant/shot instead. It was good to hear more about it and the others I've dealt with in my life. I'll probably even stay on it should I ever end up married and my husband gets a vasectomy. Why bother have a period when you'll never use it for what it's for? Haven't had a period in 10 years and I've never been happier.
The patch was good for an alternative to remembering to take pills at a stressful time for me. I had more intense symptoms, but I found out much later that it was probably too high a dosage for the weight I was at the time. I still had to take a break every few weeks to have a "period" though. So if that's an option that makes sense for you, those are some extra points to consider.
I've seen a class action lawsuit about brain tumors as a result of the depo shot recently, also I know it affects bone density. I haven't taken it personally but I have had the nexplanon implant and liked it a lot. But it also made me shoot a lil milk out my nipples when I squeezed them hard enough, which was an eternal mindfuck. Also some women it can cause to bleed uninterrupted for a year, I didn't bleed for like 3 years at all though
People never hear me out when I say that the fertility awareness method can be great. Thank you for explaining it so well. Just because something has a higher rate of failure doesn't mean it's dangerous, it just means you have to put more effort into making sure you're doing it completely correctly. If you are patient, aware, cautious, and do plenty of reading on the topic, it does work!
Unless the doctor didn't separate the vas tubes effectively, and they grow back together. Hubby had to have it done TWICE...and on each testicle because the doc didn't know which one grew back together. Thanks, Kaiser Permanente.
@@spiritmatter1553Yes, for example, if you have one removed surgically, the remaining tube sweeps across to the other end and collects mature eggs. Absolutely fascinating.
Why did you reassure the male audience about getting a vasectomy - a procedure that commonly offers local anaesthetic and painkillers, but didn't even mention how painful an IUD insertion is? People with uteruses already have a hard enough time being taken seriously for our pain and discomfort, why the hell is this educational channel glossing over the very real pain of an iud insertion but then giving reassurance for a procedure that commonly really doesn't hurt that much? Good educating /s
The IUD was straight torture for me. I was in near constant pain, and I bled for 4 months straight without a day off. Not light bleeding either. If I moved wrong I'd feel a stabbing pain in my cervix. I got 2 ultrasounds to check the placement of the IUD, one at the time of insertion and one a month later and it was placed perfectly. So that was a bummer, and a really expensive testing period.
I have 5 kids (2 sets of twins in there) and lemme tell ya, I will NOT get the vasectomy reversed. I'd almost be interested in getting it done again, just to be sure. lmao
The IUD has some downsides, especially in the short term, for both male and female. The female has lots of pain and severe cramping for months. The male is scratched by the IUD string which feels like fishing line. The string slowly softens but I've been scratched by an IUD string over a year later.
I use Copper IUD and it is the best. Some women complain about how painful it is to get it in but that pain is short lived and doesn't compare to labor/childbirth pains at all! It's worth giving it a shot.
The provider that installed mine had me take a ton of ibuprofen before hand, and put a heat pack on my belly. No pain at all. Having it removed was uncomfortable, but hey....
I got an IUD once. I barely made it out of the office, almost fainted driving home, and was incapacitated for 3 days (the pain was indescribable). We all react differently. But yeah, still better than actually having a child IMO.
The Navy issued us a truly effective means of contraception while I was in boot camp. We called them BCG's for Birth Control Glasses. Glasses which were so ugly they were a form of birth control. 😂😭
I got an IUD after having 2 miscarriages this year, so if I am brave enough to try again for a baby in the future. Hopefully, it will go a lot better next time. 😅
That sounds rough. Sometimes it's indeed good to take a break from trying for your mental health... I know some people really need to take their time to recover after a failed ivf round too. But I wish you all the best in the future!
After vasectomy I had side effects. Dr had not discussed this possibility with me. Gave me a great sales pitch. I should have done more research. My bad. Would not do it again.
Sperm is definitely still produced. So provided it can be safely extracted (from Epididymis) this should work, I think. But happy to learn, if anyone knows more.
How late after vasectomy? The guy says after more time reversal is less successful, i read somewhere else that after more time, your immune system becomes more effective at clearing the sperm away, so i guess it would become harder to collect.
I use the nexplanon implant, and I couldn't be happier. The only thing you really need to be careful of in the U.S., is that you need to have decent health insurance to have it removed. Out of pocket, without insurance, it costs around $7,000. You don't want to remove it yourself because you can cause permanent nerve damage, or excessive bleeding because there's an artery just behind the implant.
I had one and instead of my regular period I had light spotting for about a week every 4-6 months. LOVED it. Had it replaced after three years and I was bleeding more often than not. Didn't love that at all. I have no idea why it happened like that, but after its three years were up I decided to go back on the pill.
People keep mentioning abstinence is the best contraception. However, not all sex is consensual. SA and pregnancy from it is real. The best method in my personal opinion will work regardless of the situation happening to the individual.
From an adult male with three teen children: The best form of birth control is abstinence. If you're afraid of the potential consequences of sex, don't engage in it until you (and your partner) are capable and willing to accept the potential outcome of pregnancy. Great video as usual, thank you.
that's statistically inaccurate. abstinence only sex education districts have the worst cases of teen pregnancy. teens need to know what their options are. and exactly how they can get pregnant.
@@queerceramics Didn't say abstinence-only education. I said the practice thereof. And yes, abstinence does in-fact have a 100% effective rate at preventing pregnancy.
I'm in love with my Yaz combined pill. Took me a few goes to find the right pill. I've tried the implant, but I kept spotting and it's really irritating. Everyone's body reacts differently to various methods and chemistry. If you haven't done one already, an episode on STIs would be great. People might learn about dental dams. And condoms. And HPV strains. And cancer. And syphilis...
The way even men who never want children and are medically healthy are so INCREDIBLY against vasectomies are just cowards in my eyes, it’s honestly pitiful. Especially with how much they preach about abstinence, but cry and pout when they don’t get laid.
Who'd a thunk fixing is often harder than breaking? D: This is why men who are thinking of this procedure should treat it as if it's irreversible, even if it can potentially be fixed.
When I got pregnant on the pill I believe it was 99% effective meaning 1 in 100 women would get pregnant. Now I believe it is 99.99%. So 1 in 1000 women will get pregnant on the pill.
I have a kylina IUD and although insertion and the first few days was horrible for me I still like it overall. The pill made my mental illnesses WAY worse but my cramps are worse with an IUD.
The best option is the hormonal IUD. Its hormonal effects are localized rather than systemic, offering the advantages of both copper IUDs and hormonal methods. Additionally if you combine with the traditional condom, the effectivity is excellent.
No damn why I find that profile pic at the time I'm listening to: Halo 5 Rap - GTWIST Ft. TEAMHEADKICK "World On Fire" Some coincidences are just too big...
Medic here - most women will be offered copper IUD as it is most effective and non-hormonal. These wouldn't be appropriate in women with mennorhagia (heavy menstrual bleeds) or of they have structural abnormalities of the uterus or pelvic inflammatory disease. These are commonly offered after caesarean sections and other gynae procedures. The hormonal device is the progesterone IUS. This is fantastic for women who have irregular bleeds as the hormones help regulate them. Contraceptive choices is very interesting and tailored to patient preference - it is a shame and an indictment of the medical community that there are not more contraceptive options for men!
For me, it was the worst. Had the hormonal one and bled for 2 months then it FELL out. I had PMS the entire time and it made me have severe mental health issues
Any thoughts on Silodosin? Primarily used to treat prostatatic hyperplasia. There is a study that shows it works as a contraceptive by preventing emission, may also reduce refractory time and increase libido. Sounds like a wonder drug for men but I guess we are all waiting on more studies, maybe it'll eventually get approved as a contraceptive.
The best type of contraception and protection against STDs is abstinence. Outside of that, everything comes with a degree of failure or side effects. It comes down to making an educated decision.
@queerceramics I did not say abstinence should be taught as sex ed. Obviously, if they are getting pregnant, they're not abstaining. When I was a young adult in the 90s, I did not have access to all of the information that is available today. ME best educated choice was to truly abstain. I did not want an unplanned pregnancy and was terrified of getting a disease. My comment refers to the side effects and efficacy of each method. Sex ed should be a broader topic than abstinence and birth control.
@ if you're hungry, you eat. if you're thirsty, you drink. if you're tired, your rest. starving your body of what it needs isn't the solution. condoms are. and teaching kids how to use and store condoms and what makes them break.
@@nylirama humans need to have sex. just because YOU don't, doesn't mean everyone is asexual and non-horny. it's not effective or else we wouldn't need other birth control methods, people would just not have sex. teen pregnancy rates are so high because of teaching abstinence as birth control.
@@nyliramajust because YOU abstain, doesn't mean it works for everyone. hence the teen pregnancy as a result of abstinence only sex ed. abstinence is NOT birth control because it requires you to not engage in the activity at all which isn't doable for the majority of humans on the globe
It's not healthy for periods to stop. Hormonal birth control ruined my life for 20 years. I had ZERO sex drive. I thought my whole life I was broken. Severe dryness and lots of other issues. I never in my life was able to orgasm or enjoy sex. I stopped oral contraceptives and my whole life got better. Medical professionals need to do better.
Shhhh now now buddy. People don’t like to hear how some people simply don’t have sex. It’s unnatural to resist biology’s way to force the human race to continue existing
I have the GOAT of birth control. It came with no side effects. The winner is the snip snip. I got married I helped make two kiddos, that marriage ended. I thought, no more kids for me. No more worrying about accidental pregnancies or pregnancy scares. I got two women pregnant, while they were on birth control. I wasn't going to risk that again. Wasn't worth it.
@katrinakollmann5265 I had my semen tested 3 times over a period of months after the snip and tie. Condoms protect to an extent against sti's but, I always offer both myself getting a screening as well as for my partner, which I happily pay for. It can be awkward to bring up, but I find it an important trust builder and then we can if we choose to, have skin to skin with some assurance.

14:07 while this was informational, dont use this video alone to influence your decision on birth control method. The IUD was terrible for me, personally. Why would tubal ligation not be better than an IUD? Like, he refers to vasectomy being the best (and permanent), so why would the female equivalent not also be the best? Just a little confused
false, school districts that teach abstinence only sex ed have the highest rates of teen pregnancy. humans gonna fuck. we should at least be safe and educated.
Perhaps they take into consideration the fact that tubal ligation is an invasive procedure, giving it more chance for complications? (Plus a much higher cost). I tell ya, it worked great for me! Got it done the morning after my youngest child was born!
I had my vasectomy in August, no major issues. I do get pain after a weight training session and do my cardio.. also on longer bike rides.. make no sense. I would expect complete healing after 4 months. It is a minor surgery also.. really annoying..
Great video! I wonder if having a procedure such as a vasectomy could be a short term win for a long term loss. I would assume having your body reabsorb matter prepared to leave your body may be problematic ie waste, blood, hair or nails.
Yup, a coworker of mine kept bleeding for months and had to get it removed because of constant pain too. Another friend of mine needed the shot taken put of her arm again as well

Also note if a tubal ligation isn't done correctly a woman may end up with a hysterectomy a few years later as endometrial tissue can migrate and cause issues in a woman abdomen - which also happened to me... at least now I don't have to worry about pregnancies since I'm totally spayed.
I didn't think that procedure was called "spaying" when it's done on humans. 🤔

Honestly the statistics was extremely stressful for me as a teenager, with condom as my/our choice of birth control (didn't want to deal with side effects of hormonal contraception).
But after almost 7 years of it being the only contraceptive used, I had no problem, no slipping condom, not one broken condom. All we had to do was use proper size, use it every time and use appropriate lube. Wouldn't change a thing honestly.
Yeah the issues with condoms are mostly user error

I've been thinking about how not wanting children and thus getting with people who don't want children, while a good thing in terms of value alignment, can be a bad thing in terms of pregnancy related risk. Not only you are risking to have a kid you didn't want, but also to be abandoned by your partner cause kids weren't in the agreement. I feel like that's the story behind how single parents are made...
Ya. If you don't want to have kids, don't have sex. If you want to have sex, make sure you are ok with having kids first. problem solved.
I considered an IUD but read the fine print and was deterred. The fine print stated that there was increased risk of expulsion if I'd never been pregnant/had children. It also stated a risk of INTERNAL PERFORATION by the device! I have since learned that for many women IUD insertion was excruciating and for some worse pain than childbirth! This is due to many women not getting proper pain management from doctors.
Instead I opted for the Nexplanon implant. They have recently learned that the Nexplanon is actually effective for 5 years. I just looked at the card in my wallet yesterday with the insertion and removal date so I am absolutely certain it is 5 years. For me, Nexplanon has been fantastic. I recognize that for other women it is a disaster so your mileage will vary.
Nexplanon gave me peripheral neuropathy, or in other words I was given opioids for my intense discomfort and pain as I think I may have been too skinny for the device to be implanted properly and no doctor warned me of this. When they removed it, they grabbed it with forceps and yanked, pulling my arm and me with it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@jernkeen8734 I made the same choice. At four years I have no pregnancies, but I am considering getting it removed sometime before five years if life works out so we can start the TTC journey. I knew somebody who went wild and left it in for six with no pregnancies and one woman who got pregnant two years in because sometimes life just finds a way.

Yes the constant state of severe inflammation caused mental health problems.

True GOAT of not getting knocked up: abstinence.

I got a copper IUD about 2 years ago after being on and off the pill and having the depo-provera shot and I am very happy with my decision. I was doing okay-ish with the hormonal pill (the shot wrecked me), but I wasn’t having a regular period, which resulted in worry about pregnancy scares. I also wanted something I could just forget about because I’m not in a committed relationship so not consistently active, but the pill has to be started some days in advance to be effective. The insertion for me was literally painless, my OB gave me a cervix softener and went during/right before my period, which I hear helps. The worst pain was the cramps following the hour after the appointment that lasted the few days after, like bad menstrual cramps, honestly semi-debilitating, but not the worst on the pain scale (maybe 6-7/10). I have no bad symptoms except the sudden onset of menstrual cramps during my actual period for the first few cycles proceeding insertion and being able to feel the string, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but awkward to explain to partners. I would recommend any women looking for a hormone free option to consider the copper IUD, and talk to your doctor of course! :)
I got mine at 43 years old last summer. Wish i had done it years ago!!
Mine wasn't as smooth sailing and painful with insertion but I would still do it again for the peace of mind combined with the hormonal contraception I have to take for other health problems anyways, regardless of sexual activity. It's a great option for many people!
"I missed... the resulting worry about pregnancy scares." I feel like you probably mistyped something there?
Also, do you know what the "cervix softening" was?
As far as explaining the IUD "strings" (they're more like wires IMO) to partners goes, you might wanna let them know that (depending on a few factors) there may be a non-zero chance of it stabbing them inside the urethra. Holy hell that hurts.
@@user-Aaron- if your partner feels the strings during sex they need to be trimmed. My doctor was the actual GOAT. I had a few cramps at insertion, no bleeding or pain afterwards. My man has never felt anything stab him.
Only thing I would say was mildly annoying were the longer heavier periods. The copper iud is probably the best form of bc out there.
This is really critical content that isn't always communicated this well - not even close. Thank you for posting this accurate information in such an easy to understand form!
It's not accurate as he completely downplays the effects of hormones on women and how bad the side effects can be of the IUD forms.
He's just a male mansplaining stuff when he hasn't bothered to look into womens experiences with the topic he's talking about ugh. I usually find his content quite good but he dropped the ball on this video.
Ladies or anyone else taking estrogen, if you use hormonal birth control for a while please make sure you get regular checkups. I didn't until I was 27 and found out my birth control, that I was taking since my teen years for menstrual control, gave me liver tumors. I would have never known until they caused problems had it not been for a regular checkup blood test. The good news is they can be completely reversed by stopping hormonal birth control (I had "at least 3" tumors with the largest being 4cm in diameter, they were all gone by the time I finally got a follow up exam 6 years later). If you want a hysterectomy it makes for the perfect excuse to get one if you have a good doctor though! lol
Genuinely asking: how do you know the liver tumours were caused by your birth control? Which birth control medication were you taking?
@@user-Aaron- "how do you know the liver tumours were caused by your birth control?": The entire instruction leaflet is full of potential side effects. The gist of it is that birth control has been proven to cause pretty much every medical problem that you can think of.
@@07Flash11MRC Yes, I'm aware of the list of side effects, but I'm also aware that correlation =/= causation, and am curious to know if OP was able to figure that out somehow because it's not easy to do.
@@user-Aaron- " I'm aware of the list of side effects": It's not just "a list". Those are the side effects you can expect if you plan to take hormones. It has already been prove to be causation with all of those, that's why they are written on the leaflet.
"am curious to know if OP was able to figure that out somehow because it's not easy to do": It's quite easy to figure it out. That's literally what doctors (endocrinologists) do in their researh. This happens before the medicine is allowed to be available on the market.
I take prescribed birth control for almost 8 years nowadays. Only for medical reasons. I am aro/ace and celibate, a virgin. I started taking it because before I had such pains during menstruation that I sometimes even lost consciousness. So unfortunately I can't stop taking it. I will try to check with my gynecologist every year
Nonchalantly using a few cadavers as backdrop like it's nothing. I legit flipped at 10.00 when 3 dead bodies went to 2!
For me,
I cant do hormones because they make me bleed for months without stop

I got a bilateral salpingectomy and uterine ablation in May of 2023. Best decision of my entire life. It took 15 years and 6 doctors in 3 different states before anyone would agree to do it on me(I'm child free)... But best thing ever.
Yay another person with a bisalp ^v^ I had mine last year, so happy with it! Do you mind if I ask how your experience with your ablation was?

Fertility awareness method (aka natural family planning) isn't for everyone, but I am so happy that I took the time to do my research and figure out how to track my cycle for the purpose of birth control. When done correctly, FAM/NFP is 99% effective. My husband and I have been together for 10 years, doing FAM/NFP for 5, and we've never had a pregnancy scare. And, without being too TMI, we are absolutely not sacrificing having fun. When I was on the pill I didn't even enjoy sex that much, and now not only does sex feel better for both of us, but I have also improved my health by just understanding my body better. I track my basal body temperature, cervical mucus, when I get my period, and when I first started I tracked my ovulation with luteinizing hormone strips. I still keep track of these metrics, but now I can just tell by how I'm feeling without looking at my tracking app when I'm ovulating or about to get my period.
I do that. I know where I am without looking, but still record it all. I'd been doing it 10 years already before I spontaneously ovulated when my period was due, and got pregnant. So I don't think that 99% (which is said everywhere) is accurate.
Do you have a regular period?
Mine is irregular. I also use fam-methods but mostly to determine when i will have my period in 2 weeks instead of having a surprise party in my panties 😅
Omg I had a very similar experience with the pill!! Natural Cycles is a good app for the lazy girls 😅 If you have a newer Apple Watch or the oura ring, it’ll automatically get your basal temp (otherwise gotta manually take it right upon waking) & over time, the algorithm will get the ovulation window down to like 4 or 5 days a month you have to use protection. I only have my baby now because my app said “use protection, you’re about to ovulate” & I said HAHA YOLO! Boom. I’m a mom 😂 Didn’t know I would like being one so much so it’s a happy oops 🥰 After the initial shock of course. The app is a subscription though so I definitely see the appeal in just learning your body as you described!
@@tinypixiekitten7806 Were you using a calendar method? Those are not as reliable. If you were tracking cervical mucus and basal body temp you probably would have noticed signs of ovulation.
@@dodopson3211Mine is also irregular, from 32 to 40 days. Check out Taking Charge of Your Fertility if you haven't already. That's where I started and am no longer surprised. I can pinpoint mine within a day or two once I have ovulation confirmed.

IUD may be put next to vasectomy in the same tier of "what it takes" only! if vasectomy is done with zero anesthesia.
I had a local anesthetic injection but it was so painful I almost passed out with my vasectomy. No regrets
I don't get it: why do you compare sterilization with an IUD? Logically enough vasectomy is pretty much the male counterpart to women's tubal sterilization.
Sterilization is always the safest choice.
Then there are contraceptives on the other hand that are always more fallible for obvious reasons.
In many countries doctors have more qualms sterilizing women than men, as if there were remnants of traditional values in the mindset of medical practitioners... Hopefully this will soon be a thing of the past. Tubal sterilization ought to be a routine surgery on demand like vasectomy is.
The safest way to avoid all risks is that each partner undergoes sterilization. IUDs can fail too...
I have a hormonal IUD and I like it but it's starting to get a bit annoying for me because I have a small uterus and sex can actually be painful. Like, the teen size one was almost too big. I'm terrible at remembering to take pills even with an alarm so probably swapping to the implant/shot instead. It was good to hear more about it and the others I've dealt with in my life. I'll probably even stay on it should I ever end up married and my husband gets a vasectomy. Why bother have a period when you'll never use it for what it's for? Haven't had a period in 10 years and I've never been happier.
why havent you had a period in 10 years if i may ask ?
@@friedrichvonhoffmeister3343 Probably because of the hormonal IUD.
@@Black.Spades sad
The patch was good for an alternative to remembering to take pills at a stressful time for me. I had more intense symptoms, but I found out much later that it was probably too high a dosage for the weight I was at the time. I still had to take a break every few weeks to have a "period" though. So if that's an option that makes sense for you, those are some extra points to consider.
I've seen a class action lawsuit about brain tumors as a result of the depo shot recently, also I know it affects bone density. I haven't taken it personally but I have had the nexplanon implant and liked it a lot. But it also made me shoot a lil milk out my nipples when I squeezed them hard enough, which was an eternal mindfuck. Also some women it can cause to bleed uninterrupted for a year, I didn't bleed for like 3 years at all though

The IUD was straight torture for me. I was in near constant pain, and I bled for 4 months straight without a day off. Not light bleeding either. If I moved wrong I'd feel a stabbing pain in my cervix.
I got 2 ultrasounds to check the placement of the IUD, one at the time of insertion and one a month later and it was placed perfectly.
So that was a bummer, and a really expensive testing period.
I have 5 kids (2 sets of twins in there) and lemme tell ya, I will NOT get the vasectomy reversed. I'd almost be interested in getting it done again, just to be sure. lmao
2 sets of twins?! Congratulations?? I totally understand. I bet you family is beautiful. ❤
The IUD has some downsides, especially in the short term, for both male and female. The female has lots of pain and severe cramping for months. The male is scratched by the IUD string which feels like fishing line. The string slowly softens but I've been scratched by an IUD string over a year later.
I use Copper IUD and it is the best.
Some women complain about how painful it is to get it in but that pain is short lived and doesn't compare to labor/childbirth pains at all!
It's worth giving it a shot.
Don't forget the mental pain of being pregnant, delivering and most importantly, raising the kid, lol!
The provider that installed mine had me take a ton of ibuprofen before hand, and put a heat pack on my belly. No pain at all. Having it removed was uncomfortable, but hey....
I got an IUD once. I barely made it out of the office, almost fainted driving home, and was incapacitated for 3 days (the pain was indescribable). We all react differently. But yeah, still better than actually having a child IMO.
How about keeping your legs closed? Not having sex is the best birth control for idiots that do that and complain about getting pregnant.
@thall3827 I'm so sorry for that. I can't imagine how terrible it could be 😔
The Navy issued us a truly effective means of contraception while I was in boot camp. We called them BCG's for Birth Control Glasses. Glasses which were so ugly they were a form of birth control. 😂😭

That sounds rough. Sometimes it's indeed good to take a break from trying for your mental health... I know some people really need to take their time to recover after a failed ivf round too. But I wish you all the best in the future!
After vasectomy I had side effects. Dr had not discussed this possibility with me. Gave me a great sales pitch. I should have done more research. My bad. Would not do it again.
Can live sperm be collected from a man post vasectomy for in vitro fertilization?
Interesting question! Haven’t heard of it, but in theory they’re still in there 😅.
I imagine so since it doesn’t actually end sperm production
I've read about this topic a few times in different articles, and they say it's possible because the sperm stays in place(?)
Sperm is definitely still produced. So provided it can be safely extracted (from Epididymis) this should work, I think. But happy to learn, if anyone knows more.
How late after vasectomy? The guy says after more time reversal is less successful, i read somewhere else that after more time, your immune system becomes more effective at clearing the sperm away, so i guess it would become harder to collect.
I use the nexplanon implant, and I couldn't be happier. The only thing you really need to be careful of in the U.S., is that you need to have decent health insurance to have it removed. Out of pocket, without insurance, it costs around $7,000. You don't want to remove it yourself because you can cause permanent nerve damage, or excessive bleeding because there's an artery just behind the implant.
I had one and instead of my regular period I had light spotting for about a week every 4-6 months. LOVED it. Had it replaced after three years and I was bleeding more often than not. Didn't love that at all. I have no idea why it happened like that, but after its three years were up I decided to go back on the pill.
Fun fact low dose bc pills and rings can cause breakthrough bleeding with long-term use and you may need more estrogen to stabilize the endometrium.
People keep mentioning abstinence is the best contraception. However, not all sex is consensual. SA and pregnancy from it is real. The best method in my personal opinion will work regardless of the situation happening to the individual.
Some of these methods can be combined to provide dramatically more effective results.
From an adult male with three teen children: The best form of birth control is abstinence. If you're afraid of the potential consequences of sex, don't engage in it until you (and your partner) are capable and willing to accept the potential outcome of pregnancy. Great video as usual, thank you.

I've assisted in a vasectomy reversal (vaso vasectomy). Its a very tedious procedure trying to connect the tubes.
Who'd a thunk fixing is often harder than breaking? D:
This is why men who are thinking of this procedure should treat it as if it's irreversible, even if it can potentially be fixed.
12:34 I was one of the 4 to 7 pregnancies to have happen while I was on the pill 😅
So we're my kids
When I got pregnant on the pill I believe it was 99% effective meaning 1 in 100 women would get pregnant. Now I believe it is 99.99%. So 1 in 1000 women will get pregnant on the pill.
Did you take them regular and still got pregnant or was it an user error?
I have a kylina IUD and although insertion and the first few days was horrible for me I still like it overall. The pill made my mental illnesses WAY worse but my cramps are worse with an IUD.
The best option is the hormonal IUD. Its hormonal effects are localized rather than systemic, offering the advantages of both copper IUDs and hormonal methods. Additionally if you combine with the traditional condom, the effectivity is excellent.
No damn why I find that profile pic at the time I'm listening to: Halo 5 Rap - GTWIST Ft. TEAMHEADKICK "World On Fire"
Some coincidences are just too big...
Medic here - most women will be offered copper IUD as it is most effective and non-hormonal. These wouldn't be appropriate in women with mennorhagia (heavy menstrual bleeds) or of they have structural abnormalities of the uterus or pelvic inflammatory disease. These are commonly offered after caesarean sections and other gynae procedures.
The hormonal device is the progesterone IUS. This is fantastic for women who have irregular bleeds as the hormones help regulate them.
Contraceptive choices is very interesting and tailored to patient preference - it is a shame and an indictment of the medical community that there are not more contraceptive options for men!
For me, it was the worst. Had the hormonal one and bled for 2 months then it FELL out. I had PMS the entire time and it made me have severe mental health issues

Love my copper IUD. I put artificial hormones 8n my body for far too long.
You should talk more about the side effects of the contraceptive method rather than just listing out the methods
The best is using 2 methods.
Picking an IUD over a tubal is absolute nonsense!

The best type of contraception and protection against STDs is abstinence. Outside of that, everything comes with a degree of failure or side effects. It comes down to making an educated decision.
not true, districts that have abstinence only sex ed have the worst teen pregnancy rates. oral is the only way to not get pregnant.
@queerceramics I did not say abstinence should be taught as sex ed. Obviously, if they are getting pregnant, they're not abstaining. When I was a young adult in the 90s, I did not have access to all of the information that is available today. ME best educated choice was to truly abstain. I did not want an unplanned pregnancy and was terrified of getting a disease.
My comment refers to the side effects and efficacy of each method. Sex ed should be a broader topic than abstinence and birth control.
@ if you're hungry, you eat. if you're thirsty, you drink. if you're tired, your rest. starving your body of what it needs isn't the solution. condoms are. and teaching kids how to use and store condoms and what makes them break.
@@nylirama humans need to have sex. just because YOU don't, doesn't mean everyone is asexual and non-horny. it's not effective or else we wouldn't need other birth control methods, people would just not have sex. teen pregnancy rates are so high because of teaching abstinence as birth control.
@@nyliramajust because YOU abstain, doesn't mean it works for everyone. hence the teen pregnancy as a result of abstinence only sex ed. abstinence is NOT birth control because it requires you to not engage in the activity at all which isn't doable for the majority of humans on the globe
It's not healthy for periods to stop. Hormonal birth control ruined my life for 20 years. I had ZERO sex drive. I thought my whole life I was broken. Severe dryness and lots of other issues. I never in my life was able to orgasm or enjoy sex. I stopped oral contraceptives and my whole life got better. Medical professionals need to do better.

Thank you! Good luck in your studies!
So useful! Thank you for rhe knowledge!!
No? celibacy, abstinence, not getting laid, and being a loser is not a good form of birth control I guess.
sorry losers can get people pregnant too
Shhhh now now buddy. People don’t like to hear how some people simply don’t have sex. It’s unnatural to resist biology’s way to force the human race to continue existing
Those are outdated methods bro, we all know these are the better option for unwanted pregnancy..... Sarcasm btw
nope, hence the teen pregnancy rates in abstinence sex education schools
As a young male dating (28) im shocked how many woman had the surgery done. Hard to start a family these days.
I have the GOAT of birth control. It came with no side effects. The winner is the snip snip.
I got married I helped make two kiddos, that marriage ended. I thought, no more kids for me. No more worrying about accidental pregnancies or pregnancy scares.
I got two women pregnant, while they were on birth control.
I wasn't going to risk that again. Wasn't worth it.
Its not 100% but close enough! Please use condoms still if possible. ♡
@katrinakollmann5265 I had my semen tested 3 times over a period of months after the snip and tie.
Condoms protect to an extent against sti's but, I always offer both myself getting a screening as well as for my partner, which I happily pay for.
It can be awkward to bring up, but I find it an important trust builder and then we can if we choose to, have skin to skin with some assurance.

That 1 in 100 for an IUD is no joke and not to be taken lightly.
Speaking as an unplanned father to be.
my face is the goat of birth control
14:07 while this was informational, dont use this video alone to influence your decision on birth control method. The IUD was terrible for me, personally. Why would tubal ligation not be better than an IUD? Like, he refers to vasectomy being the best (and permanent), so why would the female equivalent not also be the best? Just a little confused
Males don' t have other options
Celibacy works 100% of the time.
false, school districts that teach abstinence only sex ed have the highest rates of teen pregnancy. humans gonna fuck. we should at least be safe and educated.
false, rape exists
That title was NOT what I was expecting from this channel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought for sure that a female tubal ligation would be more effective than an IUD. 🤔 Go figure.
Perhaps they take into consideration the fact that tubal ligation is an invasive procedure, giving it more chance for complications? (Plus a much higher cost). I tell ya, it worked great for me! Got it done the morning after my youngest child was born!
It is similar to Vasectomy in male if I'm not wrong ,,
@@ANIMEWORLD96067 I know, that's why I thought it would be the most effective method of birth control.
Tubal libations can fail in the long run, get a bilateral salpingectomy if you're serious about life-long failure-free BC
Anyone who says abstinence just can’t get laid
I had my vasectomy in August, no major issues. I do get pain after a weight training session and do my cardio.. also on longer bike rides.. make no sense. I would expect complete healing after 4 months. It is a minor surgery also.. really annoying..
Maybe mention that to your doctor? Just to make sure everything is okay.
Great video!
I wonder if having a procedure such as a vasectomy could be a short term win for a long term loss. I would assume having your body reabsorb matter prepared to leave your body may be problematic ie waste, blood, hair or nails.
I'm really surprised to be honest. I've heard of so many cases of women having complications with the use of IUDs.
Yup, a coworker of mine kept bleeding for months and had to get it removed because of constant pain too. Another friend of mine needed the shot taken put of her arm again as well
@lynn9265 right, they often are severe complications too.
