Although some politicians may not fully understand how birth control works, rest assured, the Twitter-verse does. From BC pills to patches to IUDs, these tweets about birth control cover it all — with humor, anecdotes, and GIFs. Let me be clear: When it comes to figuring which type of birth control is right for you and your body, the best thing to do is to talk to your doctor before scrolling through Twitter. Due to your hormone levels and potential side effects, the "right" kind of birth control is different for everybody and every body. And what's right for your sisters, your mother, or all your best friends may not be the best birth control for you.
Although the internet is vast and quick, when learning about the ins and outs of contraceptives, making sure that you're talking to a trained medical professional is the best way to find the most effective birth control for your body. But still, that doesn't mean that Twitter can't produce some pretty hilarious and relatable anecdotes about the experience.
Of course, if you've done your research and talked to your doctors, there's plenty of time to scroll through the internet. These 15 tweets about birth control will make you scream "It me!"

But know that once you've done the IRL work, the internet is there for you, ready and willing to hear out all of your birth control feels.
