if im on my period can i still come in and talk to someone about my birth control options?

Yes! You can definitely speak with someone about birth control, even if you’re on your period. In fact, it can be a really great time to start birth control. Many birth control methods, like the IUD, implant, shot, pill, patch, and ring are easier to start when you’re on your period because they start working right away.
