Anonymous asked: Hi, Lena. I need advice about birth control. I'm 21 years old and a virgin, but I've been taking the pill for about a year because of dysmennorrhea. However, I just started dating my best friend, who is my first boyfriend, and while it's a long-distance relationship, we are planning on having sex when we see each other. I really have a problem with remembering to take the pill at the same time every day. I am a very forgetful person. Do you have any tips?
Hi there! Bedsider.org has a really handy, awesome, and FREE service that issues out daily, weekly, or monthly birth control reminders via email and/or text message. Users of the Ring, the Patch, the Pill, or the Shot should definitely check it out. (You can also make reminders for appointments!)
Okay, guys, so full disclosure: I’m juuuuust getting around to answering some of the questions that have been sitting in my Ask box. Some of these were/are time-sensitive, so while my responses might not be relevant to the asker any longer, they might resonate with others who are dealing with similar issues.
Also, I totally owe y’all a body image-related post. I just found a bunch of reader-submitted health questions related to fitness, eating disorders, etc. and I want to post them all at once so this is taking a bit longer than expected. In the meantime, read this essay and if you’ve got queries on similar topics, submit them now!
