Do Tell: What Are Your Embarrassing Birth Control Stories?

If you have sex, you have to deal with birth control. It may not be the funnest part about being sexual, but it's definitely necessary if you want to prevent pregnancy and the transmission of STIs. You've got to have talks with your partner about it, you have to go to the gynecologist or pharmacy to get birth control, and then of course you have to master how to use it.

SO during that trial and error period, do you have any embarrassing stories? Maybe your mom found condoms in your purse or perhaps your Nuvaring popped out during sex. Whatever happened may have been traumatic at that moment, but I'm sure you're laughing about it now (at least I hope you are!). Since it's happened to the best of us, do tell ladies, what is your most embarrassing birth control story?

    This wasnt me- but I was home to witness the aftermath.

    My older brother lived in a room in the basement. It was only partially finished so technically the door to his room was the door at the top of the stairs. Since tools and the lawnmower and other such things were also still stored down there, my dad really didnt think much of it to just go downstairs (in his defense knocking on the door at the top of the stairs wouldnt do much good, no one would hear it in the basement)
    So one day my dad goes downstairs to get the lawnmower. My brother is sitting in the "den" part of the basement. His gf had come over a bit earlier and they were hanging out downstairs. Since my brother was sitting by himself my dad asked where the gf was. My brother replied that she was hiding. My dad asked why- my brother said, "Because dad SHE ISNT WEARING CLOTHES! A little warning before you come downstairs would be nice!"
    My brother is obviously missing a tact filter, and I know his gf heard exactly what he said to our dad and had to have been mortified. But he did get his point across and my dad never bounded down to the basement again without warning after that.

    Not super embarassing, but it's a funny story for me.

    A few years ago I was on the patch and decided on this particular week I was going to put it on my butt cheek. As any patch user knows, regardless of how hard you try, that sucker always starts to peel off after a few days.

    A few days after putting it on said cheek, I went shopping for new jeans. During one fitting room horror session, I went to take off a pair of jeans and the waistband of the jeans got caught on the part of the patch that started to peel off. Not knowing this happened, I pulled the pants AND the patch off with what felt like lightening speed. I'm sure my "YELP" was cause for concern for the fitting room girl and she asked if I was ok. Imagine how ripping a band aid off your ass super quick feels like. Yeah, now you understand why I yelped!

    After the first time my current boyfriend and I had sex, I had felt a bit odd. During sex, we lost the condom, and I thought it had fallen off, so we got another one. Well, minutes after he left, I was standing in the kitchen and all of a sudden I found the missing condom... it fell out from inside of me! EEK!

    I use the ring, and once I realized it was "missing", I didn't know for how long and when it was lost. I searched but never found it..

    This is probably TMI... I went on the pill about 8 months into dating my fiance. I'd always used condoms before and the issue of what happens to the guy's discharge never occured to me. So imagine my surprise a few minutes after the first time when it, uh, made it's appearance. The worst part is I was sitting up and my foot took the brunt of it.

    We laugh about it now, but I was really embarassed at the time!

    Well...the first time I went on birt control I was like 19, and had never been to a gyno before. I went to planned parenthood to get on it and the gyno on dutie scared the living sh*t out of me. People always ask if you would rather have a male or a female gyno. but how would you feel if you couldnt tell wich it was?! Im not kidding, the only way I knew it was a woman was because she had a diamond ring on her ring finger. Other than that she looked AND sounded like a man...it was horrible.

    One night around midnight i ran into CVS to buy condoms there was no one in there, so i paid for them and then started to leave and the alarm went off! Horrified i turned around to about ten people standing in line staring at me(i don't know where they all came from) and the cashier said oh sorry she had forgotten to rub them on that magnectic strip so the alarm wouldn't go off. I just found this really embarrassing!

    kimdangirl-I used to be on the patch too. I HATED it. I always wore it on one butt cheek or the other. I hated them, because like you said afeter a few days the corners would alaws start to peel off...then youd have to worry about lint or fuzz or hair getting stuck to it. grr...and taking them off hurt like hell. If youve never worn the patch, imagine peeling a bandaid off...that was glued on with super glue....not fun.

    When I was in high school I dated a guy who was VERY well-endowed. Everytime I would go to buy Magnum condoms at the drugstore in our small town, the cashier would make a comment about how I must be a very lucky girl. Just ring them up, please!

    I met my ex-boyfriend during my 3rd year in college. We flirted back and forth in class as there was an obvious connection between us. One day after class, he asked if we could exchange phone numbers. I opened my planner and the insert fell out...along with a row of 4 condoms! I was in complete horror! I wasn't seeing anyone at the time, and they were left over from a previous relationship that ended in my first semester of college. I didn't remember they were in there!! He never let me live that down months later.

    OKAY NO JOKE, I think I have everyone beat here, not that i'm proud of that...

    My boyfriend and I were having sex, and after finishing, he pulled out to realize that the condom wasn't on him anymore...IT WAS IN ME. VERY FAR UP THERE. So there I am in straddle position while my boyfriend is fishing around in there trying to get it out like he was my damn gynecologist! It was extremely uncomfortable, but we laugh about it hysterically now. Wow...I can't believe I just shared that....

    Are we calling them STIs now instead of STDs? I must have missed the memo.

    Okay, I'll share. This isn't embarrassing. It's more funny.

    One evening, my husband and I were feeling amorous. We had only one condom left. He tossed it on the bed (to have it ready), and we proceeded to make out. We were so busy with each other that we didn't notice that my cat hopped onto the bed. My cat picked up the condom in his mouth, and chewed on it, like a chew toy. In the meantime, my husband and I were getting hot and heavy, completely unaware of the cat. When we were ready for the condom, we looked over at it, horrified to see my cat chomping on it with his mouth. My husband pulled the condom out of the cat's mouth to find that it was completely punctured at a few spots! It was our LAST condom! We were ready for it. It was in the middle of the night. Needless to say, our lovefest was cut short. It was damn frustrating. We both wanted to strangle the cat. Smiling

    1) The first time we had sex, my boyfriend put our condom in the otherwise empty bathroom trashcan. The next morning, my roomate's friend (who had been staying with us) gets up to shower for work. Not only had we left the door adjoining my room to the bathroom slightly open (and we were very naked on my bed), but we realized that she'd have to be blind to not notice the condom in the trashcan. Thank goodness, she never said anything.

    2) I once dropped my peach-colored birth control pill on my peach-colored floor. I seriously had to have my (very virginal) roommate help me find the damn thing.

    More funny than embarrasing -
    1) I dropped my pill once and it landed next to my cat, who tried to eat it. I was like "Noooo!"
    2) My boyfriend once convinced his sister's fiance that her birth control pill was a Tic Tac. He almost ate it.

    This is a rather silly story. It was Father's Day weekend, my boyfriend and I were up at his father's house. I forget why his dad had to go in his car but he did. When he came back, my boyfriend was like "Dad I wanted to get you a card that said Congrats GRANDAD! but I couldn't find one!" and his Dad turns to him and goes "Yeah I would have said nice try because I just Kayla's birth control on the seat while I was in the car." It was rather funny.

    I lost a condom inside me too. And my boyfriend at the time didn't wanna help me get it out, so I had to fish it out myself!!! XD

    bbkf, that always happened with me too with my ex boyfriend! He was very well endowed and wore Magnums and the clerk would always comment when he bought them. What's bad is I still had a few left at my house after we broke up, and I was with another guy one night, and he didn't have a condom, so I went and got one of the Magnums and he was like, "are you kidding?" I felt bad (a little). Sticking out tongue

    One of my ex's and I in bed: Condom slips off, gets stuck inside me: I was too embarassed to let him get it out, but I couldn't get it out myself. Next day at school, I went to a bathroom stall and FINALLY got it out by "birthing" it (I literally breathed and pushed!): got a terrible yeast infection and UTI: was miserable for a week. He was sooo apologetic though, but it was still hysterical now that I think about it.

    This is prolly TMI but hilarious none the less...

    1) I'm rather dry, so we use a lot of lube. One session, I either put too much or too little and the condom sorta made this fart noise every time he thrusted. There were massive giggles from the both of us. Oh my...we're so mature.

    2) I started using this spermicidal film stuff, but I had the hardest time putting it in the first time. And my guy was more than ready to go, but then I had to break the bad news, that we had to wait 15 minutes before the stuff goes into effect. What a mood killer, but we ended up having sex any way. Smiling
