Best Answer

Oral Contraceptives have known side effects/or withdrawal symptoms, regardless of length of use. There is no need to take a break from using them.

Oral contraceptives are usually safe for all women to use- unless you have migraine headaches or are a smoker.

Can you get pregnant if his sperm touches the outside of your vagina?

Very slim. Since the birth control pill, or oral contraceptive is roughly 98% effective, when taken correctly (and that is the important part!), the sperm inside the semen could enter the vagina but there would be so few of them, relative to full penetration, that the chances of one fertilizing the egg and it being implanted in the uterus are almost nil.One might ask why one would use oral contraceptive AND withdrawal together. By the way, withdrawal alone is so ineffective, it is not regarded as a legitimate method of birth control!


Is it possible to have mild to moderate body aches and pains when stopping birth control pills even if it has almost been 2 months since stopping?

It's possible to experience these symptoms in your abdomonen but not all over your body. You may have picked up a virus or something along those lines. See your doctor.

Is there a way to speed up your period to stop quicker than normal?

No, there is no way to speed-up or stop your period sooner than usual.In reference to another answer - the contraceptive pill does NOT regulate periods, that is biologically impossible. Hormonal birth control stops the menstrual cycle all together, the bleeding people experience is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. Withdrawal bleeds may be lighter and shorter but that's not always the case, this is also not a good reason to use hormonal birth control given the various health risks involved.


I was addicted to heroin and chewed 6 Vicodin over 12 hours last being 16 hours ago. When can you take Suboxone?

You have to wait at least 18 to 24 hours, so it sounds like you're almost there. You have to wait until you're in serious withdrawal from the Vicodin, because if you take the Suboxone on top of the other opiate, you will have the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you can imagine. You will get really, really sick.


Can you die from withdrawals?

Yes, you can actually die from withdrawls. Benzos and alcohol are considered the most danger to withdrawal from, you should always be medically supervised while detoxing because of the risk. Good answer. Almost all withdrawal deaths occur from alcohol withdrawal, but it is a dangerous proposition with any substance.


What happens when you stop taking Adderall?

I'm assuming by asking this question that you are currently taking Aderall and are considering stopping. Do Not stop taking this medication all of a sudden. Please consult with your doctor. Let me say that again....Consult your doctor. My recommendation would be to taper off on the dosage over a period of time. Again, consult with your doctor. Alot will depend on what your current dosage is and how long you have been on the medication. I agree with the above answer and believe it is best to tamper off this medication instead of stopping it all at once. However, I have never followed the advice I am agreeing with and have gone from 60 mg. per day to 0 mg. per day overnight. Therefore, I can tell you what will happen. You will sleep for approximately 5 days getting up for almost no reason other than to eat. You might also suffer from varioius degrees of depression which is a common withdrawal symptom of Adderall. The withdrawal peaks at day 4 or 5 and begins to improve over about the next three days until it is over. Whatever symptoms you had before taking Adderall return and may even worsen due to chemical changes in your brain caused by Adderall.

Why does withdrawal bleeding mean that a women can still be pregnant?

It doesn't mean that. A woman who can be pregnant can be pregnant. A woman can have withdrawal bleeding for unrelated reasons. It's almost like asking why having blue eyes means you can still have brown hair.


If you stop taking your contraceptive pill how quickly can you fall pregnant?
