There are certainly a lot teens taking some form of contraceptive now than there were a decade ago. Still, the ratio of teens who do have sex and those who practice safe sex is not not as high compared to teens who are starting to have sex at a younger and younger age.

Whether birth control or IUD is easier depends wholly on what you think. Taking birth control might be easier for some people, if they can remember to take a pill daily.

If on birth control how would you know you pregnant?

If you're taking birth control pills you simply wait for your planned period to come. If your period doesn't come, you should go to the doctor or take a home pregnancy test. If you're taking any other birth control methods, such as the depo provera shot, I encourage you to see your doctor if you think you might be pregnant.


If you have not started taking birth control and you think your pregnant can you start taking birth control to stop it even though you havent started your period?

Taking birth control if you are pregnant will NOT stop the pregnancy. Birth control does not cause abortion but stops the ovaries from freeing an egg into the falopian tube and the womb. Plan B, or the morning after pill, will stop the fertilised egg from attaching itself to the endometer if taken within a certain amount of time. It has to be taken within 72 hours of the intercourse, however, and its efficacy decreases with the passing of time. Furthermore, taking the pill while pregnant could hurt the baby.

Im pretty sure im pregnant but all the home tests you take say no could that be because im still taking birth control and would it make you keep having your period?

Well if you think you are pregnant you should stop taking birth control and go have a blood test done. The birth control could cause birth defects or even a miscarriage. The tests could be coming up false because of the birth control... but the only way to find out is go to the doctors and get a blood test done.


How long after you think you may be pregonant do you have to start taking birth control to get rid of the sperm or baby?

Taking birth control if you are already pregnant or it's been days/weeks since you had unprotected sex, will not kill sperm or baby. It WILL however potentially cause permanent birth defects in an unborn child you may be carrying. Birth control is to prevent you from ovulating (releasing an egg) if you were not taking it and got pregnant- starting to take it won't kill sperm that will have already died off or an egg that has already been fertilized. Birth control is for PREVENTING pregnancy, not terminating and EXISTING one.


What if you bleed while taking the active birth control pills?

I assume you are taking the pill like yasmin or something to that effect. I can honestly say that when you are taking a birth control, it is normal for it to regulate your periods, but honestly, sometimes nature comes before any chemical you can treat it. So if you think this is a major side effect, talk to your dr. If not, go with the flow. No pun intended.


If your taking birth control and your pregnan t any symptoms?

I'm not sure what symptoms you might have if you're pregnant and taking birth control pills. But for the sake of your unborn child, I'd stop taking the drug! Of course, you're not sure if you're pregnant, but I think the risk just isn't worth it. Stop taking the toxic drug for the sake of your body and the body of your developing baby. Take care.
