Avoid the gap
The story goes something like this…
Girls meets boy. Girl goes on the pill. Girl breaks up with boy. Girl goes off the pill because she’s not dating anybody. Girl meets another boy. And he is hot. They hook up, but the girl is not on birth control at the time. Girl gets pregnant.
We’re not trying to freak you out. But it happens all the time. So protect yourself.
It’s ok to be on birth control, even if you’re in between boyfriends. It doesn’t mean you’re easy. It means you’re smart. And prepared. Sort of like a sexy, sophisticated girl scout.
If you need to switch methods because you don’t like the method you’re on, make sure you’re covered for the time in between. We can help you with that.
