There are soooo many reasons to use and love birth control. What makes Thanks, Birth Control Day our favorite day of the year is hearing YOUR reasons. Here are just a few of them from this year’s celebration:

1. For the gender euphoria of it

I currently have a copper IUD, the only long-acting non-hormonal form of birth control.
It has given the the power to take control over 12 years of my life without fears of an unwanted pregnancy, while enjoying my body in my few moments of gender euphoria. #ThxBirthControl pic.twitter.com/028JF5COaT

2. So we can do the things we love

Because of my IUD, I know that I won’t be pregnant in May when it’s time to go to #TSTheErasTour ! #ThxBirthControl #ThxIUD pic.twitter.com/H8q5fwjwsS

3. Because great sex is a great reason

Yes, some people use contraception for endometriosis or to manage their periods. That’s valid. And some people want to have great sex and not get pregnant. That’s beyond valid, too! (And a lot of fun) #thxbirthcontrol pic.twitter.com/BVzJJKC7kF

4. To help us manage medical conditions

It’s #ThxBirthControl Day! As a hemophiliac, regulating blood flow where I can is crucial to my treatment and hormonal IUD’s do just that. Thank you Mirena for your service
