birth control
"I had paraguard put in - super painful but that's a given. After 3 months I went in to have the strings checked like I was advised, no problem there. 3 months after that (so 6 months after insertion) I went in for my annual gyno check up, during the routine preventative ultrasound I found out I was 1 week pregnant. I asked if I had done anything wrong, how could it have failed?! And she just shrugged and said it was 99.4% effective and I just won the lottery. She removed the IUD and advised me on the complications and asked me to rest, think and come back in one week. I did not stop bleeding the entire week. I ended up (spontaneously) aborting - which caused me serious psychological trauma and created barriers in my catholic family and community."
