If you are a trans man (or enby), remember that T does not prevent pregnancy. While it can reduce fertility, people have and you can still get pregnant while on T. Do not play around with that shit if you don't want to get pregnant.

T IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL.

Hormonal birth control also has the added benefit of ceasing menstruation.

I read that trans men are just as likely as cis women to get pregnant, and way less of them use condoms or birth control. Figured some of y'all need this info. Have SAFER and RESPONSIBLE sex.

Or if you weigh over a certain amount.

Same with some(most?) birth control pills.

Plan B and other emergency contraceptives with similar drug makeup are less effective for women who weigh over 165 pounds. Ella (a newer EC, I have not seen it as widely sold) becomes less effective after 195 pounds. The average American woman over 20 weighs 170 pounds. Source on EC Source on weight

Isn't that the time someone would get pregnant?

[-] match@pawb.social 4 points 9 months ago

yes. plan b will prevent your next ovulation, which won't help if you're ovulating at the time
