Why was birth control developed?
The earliest forms include the IUD, which was invented by the Arabs to stop camels or horses from getting pregnant on long journeys across the desert. Human contraceptives were invented for two reasons:
1. To improve women's lives so that they would not have to worry about the dangers and inconvenience of pregnancy;
2. To control the population as a whole.
Why are there so many different types of birth control?
Because different people have different needs and different methods have specific risks for instance birth control pills are not a great choice for a smoker and really not the answer for smokers over thirty five, but might be perfect for a younger person who has a committed sex partner and doesn't want to worry about condoms at the last minute or who may feel uncomfortable with internal methods.

Take the pill as soon as you remember & continue taking your pills one a day. You will need to use a condom for the next 4 weeks to prevent pregnancy from occurring.

Do birth control pills affect hcg levels?
No. Birth control is made with estrogen and progesterone hormones. The pregnancy tests look for HCG, a completely different hormone. If you have enough HCG in your system, it will show on the test, regardless of how much or how little estrogen or progesterone you have inside your system.
How long does it take for a period to regulate after i stop taking birth control?
It can take from 3-6 months. If you have been on the pill for years it could take longer. Each woman's body is different and I have known women who got pregnant in the next month after stopping the pill, while others took a year or two.
It depends the most on how long you go between having periods, if your periods are very close together (less than 25 days) you probably ovulate early in your cycle. If your periods are closer to 28 or more days, day 3 or 4 is likely too soon for you to need to worry about conceiving. (see information at link.)
If you are on birth control and dont use a condom can you get pregnant?

Probably not, but you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting.

What age do most girls go on birth control?
Hopefully as soon as they become sexually active, if not before.
Should I be having a 2 week period while on the pill?
Usually no, sometimes you may experience a side effect from taking the pill which is called breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is a nuisance that can last up to a week, which in sense makes you think it is a regular period but actually its not. Most likely you started breakthrough bleeding during your last week of active pills and then you started your "real period" during the placebo week. If breakthrough bleeding still occurs after 3 months, it is recommended that you consult your physician, this may mean you need a higher dosage of birth control.
Can you get pregnant if you take the birth control pill in the middle of intercourse?
The birth control pill works by taking it daily as directed. If you take it this way, it doesn't matter if you have sex before, during, or after swallowing the pill.
Why condoms should not be passed at school?
there is no reason why condoms should not be distributed at school. The question is the same as asking why cars should not be fitted with brakes. The answer is that if you don't fit cars with brakes no one will drive them and then you wont have any accidents. And the same nonsensical reasoning seems to exist about young people having sex. the reasoning is ridiculous has never and will never work.
Can you develop and allergic reaction to birth control pills?
I suspect that anyone can develop a allergic reaction to any medication depending upon what the medication contains and what they are allergic to. If you suspect you have had a allergic reaction, see your Doctor.
Does a pack of the mini pill have a week a placebo pills?
No. It's progestogen only and you take it every day. There is a higher failure rate for this than for the combined pill but you can make it much safer by always using condoms or a cap (vimule) or diaphragm as well.
