When do you use birth control pills?

Answer 1

My doctor advised me to take it before you eat dinner and then be sure that dinner is a fufilling one because I was taking mine before I go to bed at night and I would be nauseated every morning. I thought it was the pill itself but it was just the worst time to take it. Not much info but I hope that helps you out a little bit. Ever since I started a 5:30-7:30 routine, I've been perfectly fine, no more nausea.

Answer 2

There should be directions inside the Birth Control pills you bought that explain exactly when to take them. Most oral birth control pills come with 28 pills- the first 21 (3 weeks) of pills are "active", and the last week of pills are "blanks" that serve only to keep you in the habit of taking a pill. You should take 1 pill each day, and at the same time of day each day. While on the blanks, you should have normal menstruation. Keep in mind that these pills are inactive, so there is a chance you could become pregnant, though the chance is smaller since you shouldn't be ovulating at that time. To play it safe, it's a good idea to use condoms during the week you're on the blanks.

Answer 3

You should take contraceptives when you become sexually active. Contraceptives provide an extra dosage of hormones in your body( estrogen and progesterone are common hormones in contraceptives), to protect you from pregnancy. Contraceptives need to be taken everyday at the same time in order to be 99.9% effective.

Answer 4

When she decides to become sexually active or if she has a really difficult time during her menstruation since birth control pills can make it easier. They can also work if you have a very irregular period.

Answer 5

Women use the birth control pill when they want to avoid pregnancy and for other conditions like heavy or painful periods. You take them daily, regardless of whether you have sex that day.
