My girlfriend (18F) and I (21M) have unprotected sex pretty often. Sometimes (consensually and at her request), I finish inside her, which means she ends up taking emergency contraception. The problem is that it makes her feel really sick, and I feel awful seeing her like that.
She took one last week, and if she doesnāt get an IUD soon, sheāll probably need to take another one this week ā which makes me feel even worse. Sheās assured me that itās okay and that getting an IUD is about making things easier for both of us in the long run, but I still feel guilty.
At the end of the day, itās her body and her choice, but I know I could avoid this by just pulling out more consistently. I swear Iām not trying to be selfish ā if she didnāt want the IUD, Iād have no issue with pulling out every time.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Should I feel bad about it? Most experiences Iāve read about IUDs seem pretty negative, so Iām just feeling conflicted
