Conversation with Friend

“Hi. I’m so glad we could meet up. Jack and I are really getting serious. He is the man of my dreams. We are starting to talk about sex. He has been with a lot of girls but has changed. I’ve heard a lot of women talk about the pill. I am so forgetful. I’m not sure about it. What do you suggest?

Conversation with Friend

“Hey! Thanks for meeting up with me to talk about this awkward topic. I feel strange talking about it but I need some advice. My girl and I are thinking about sex but I am not ready to be a dad. Can you give me some advice? How can we protect ourselves against pregnancy?”

Wait until answer…. then ask

“I’m so embarrassed to ask this question but I’ve never used a condom before can you explain the steps to proper use?”

Maria Lopez Age 19 UNC-Chapel Hill college student

Conversation with Boyfriend

“It feels like we are moving too fast. I have not been to the doctor to ask about hormonal forms of contraception. I’m worried because I am a smoker and due to my family history of blood clots a hormonal form of contraception may not be an option. If I can’t get a hormonal form of contraception how can we prevent pregnancy?”

Conversation with Friend

“I made a big mistake last night. I had sex without a condom and I’m not on a hormonal form of contraception. I tried to figure out my ovulation cycle and I should be ovulating soon or today. I work too much and have no interest in being a mother. What should do?

Conversation with Friend

“Having a 2 month old is hard work. Little Jacob cries all the time and I’m so exhausted. I am ready to be intimate with my husband again but I need to find a birth control option that is good for me. I don’t want to have another child for several years and I don’t want to have to remember to do anything relating to my birth control daily, weekly, or even monthly. I have enough to remember with Little Jacob. What are your thoughts?”

Conversation with Friend

“I love Jose so much but lately he is requesting sex so often. He is also controlling and at times puts me down. I know he is stressed and doesn’t mean it. I don’t like the side effects of the Depo Provera so I need another form of birth control. What are your thoughts?”

Sierah Jones Age 22 year old law student

Conversation with boyfriend

“Hey. So we really need to talk about what happened last night. We both had too much to drink and should not have had sex. We didn’t even use protection. What if I am pregnant? I’m still in law school and have to focus on my studies. What should we do?”

Conversation with Friend

“Hey. I feel a little awkward talking about this. My girl continues to bring up the conversation about sex. I have said “no” several times but I do love her. I wonder if I keep saying no if she will leave me? I love her a lot but do not want to risk getting her pregnant. What should I do?”

Conversation with Friend

“Hi. Thanks for meeting up. I’m having a tough week. My mom just died unexpectedly from a blood clot and my boyfriend Jake lost his job. Beside those two obstacles, I have great news….Jake and I are engaged and are getting married in a couple of months. We do not want to have a baby for two more years though. Once we decided to get pregnant, I promise I’ll quit smoking cigarettes so much. I’m thinking about getting Nuva Ring or maybe Nexplanon. What do you think?
