Wondering if an IUD is worth all the fuss? Does that dinky little thing even work? Yep. In fact, it’s got a 99% efficacy rate—basically the highest among female contraceptive tools. https://t.co/ZjPYthlKL0

Living with diabetes? IUDs and hormonal birth control prescriptions may not be the best options for you, contraceptive wise. But there are plenty of other tools out there. Talk to your doctor to find out which will work best for you.

Latex allergies keeping you from buying most condoms? Never fear: polyurethane and polyisoprene are here! These plastic and synthetic rubber condoms are the perfect alternatives for the latex-averse. Read up on these options today.

Are condoms expensive? They usually run from $0.18 to $1.83. If you don’t have sex very often, it’s the cheapest, most easily accessible way to stay protected from pregnancies and STIs.

Save the date! One month from today, on Oct. 24th, @yourfoundation will host a series of lunchtime discussions across Richland and Lexington Counties about how we can make the Midlands a better place to live. https://t.co/WGv7dBaBru

Worried if the implant is a safe birth control option? There’s risk with all medications, but it’s a totally safe procedure. It’s also the most low-maintenance contraceptive option—implants are good for four years!

[NotRightNowSC @NotRightNowSC]

Exposed to an STI? Don’t worry. You’re not alone. Whether you’re showing symptoms, or you think you might’ve come into contact with an illness, it’s important to talk to your parents or a healthcare provider ASAP.

Skip TV this weekend. Pop in those headphones: the always excellent @radiolab has an incredible new podcast out dealing with what they call "the primordial roots of our drive to reproduce." Check it out! https://t.co/VdztKyvJaC

[NotRightNowSC @NotRightNowSC]

This is a totally normal concern. This may seem like a good insurance policy, but using two increases the amount of friction, and can make the condoms tear. So this is not advisable. https://t.co/pYQ47OX8AT

Will the pill make you depressed? Everybody's unique--you might experience side effects that others do not. That said, depression and anxiety are serious issues, no matter what causes them. If you're grappling with either, tell your parents and then talk to a doctor right away.
