Patients in Massachusetts are increasingly contacting Planned Parenthood with concerns about the future of contraceptive access and medication abortion under the incoming Trump administration, despite the state’s robust legal protections for abortion and contraceptives, with some seeking early replacement of long-term contraceptive devices due to uncertainty about future insurance coverage.

    I went and got fixed last May. My IUD doesn’t expire for a few more years I just already don’t like where this is going. Dunno what the people who want children just not right this second are gonna do though.

      I got mine at 26 back in 2016, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The peace of mind that my partner and I would never have an unplanned pregnancy has been phenomenal especially since we live in a very red state. And if we change our minds about not having kids, we can always adopt or do foster care.

      Remember to go get checked twice to make sure that there’s no more sperm. Men who don’t get confirmation from their doctor have gotten women pregnant. It’s rare, but it does happen. I hope you have a quick and easy recovery.

        Thanks! Yeah it really wasn’t bad.

        Definitely going to do the tests. I almost bought a microscope to monitor the progress until then, but my wife said that was dumb.
