Best form of contraception? Have only taken the pill before.

Has anyone ever taken norethisterone to delay a period for holiday? If so were there any bad side effects?

If you took the birth control shot(depo) for over a year, how long did it take you to get pregnant afterwards? Did anyone get pregnant while on it?

So the towel I used when I come out the shower needed to go in the wash so in the meantime I put it on the floor for when we come out the shower so the floor doesn’t get wet.

I don't know how many DPO I might be as I haven't had a period since May 21, 2024. I'm still technically on BC (depo provera) until the end of this month (will be the 3 month mark).
