Birth Control

Generally no. I took them for 20 years and then directly to hormone replacement and so far have had no side effects. If you smoke that can be a factor in how long you should stay on them and the longer you are on them the longer it may take to get pregnant . Otherwise if you are in good health you can stay on them.

It depends. If you're young, it should be nothing to worry about - although most men begin producing semen between the ages of 13 and 15, it can take up to your later teenage years to start producing semen. If you're older, like over 18, you should consult a doctor.

Hormonal birth contro works by suppressing your menstrual cycle so you no longer ovulate, thus you no longer menstruate - the bleeding women get while on the pill is a withdrawal bleed rather than menstruation. Withdrawal bleeds can be lighter than menstrual bleeds because one way in which the pill works to prevent pregnancy, on top of stopping ovulation, is to prevent secondary uterus lining build-up so if an egg was fertilised it couldn't implant - thinner uterus lining means less blood loss during a bleed.

There are many possibilities here.

Pain in guys:

1. Condoms are not supposed to go over the testes.

2. If they are latex condoms, you may be allergic to latex.

3. They may be the wrong size. If they are too small they will constrict. If they are too large they will rub which will irritate. Try different brands and sizes.

4. The condoms might be getting tangled in your pubic hair. Some men have hair most of the way up their penis, possibly making condom removal painful. You might consider carefully shaving the penis before wearing a condom.

Pain in women:

1. You may need to use lubricated condoms or personal lubricant. If you stay dry, you might want to talk to your doctor, since that can be hormonal.

2. You could be allergic, so try non-latex condoms.

3. See your doctor about vaginismus if the pain is during any sex, with or without a condom. That is a painful spasms of the vagina that are caused by sex. That can be medical or psychological.

It is very possible for your period to be missed. If you were taking birth control before and then you stopped you are messing around with the chemicals in your body. This can cause early or skipped periods. Since you are off the pill, you will need to watch for pregnancy and use another form of countraception.

Normally your body's levels of certain hormones will vary as you go through your period. When you're on the pill you're adding hormones to your body through the pill instead, sort of suppressing your natural hormonal rythm. When you go off the pill it'll take your body some time to find its way back to its natural rythm.

Very poor! Have it removed before thinking about becoming pregnant. Once you have the IUD removed, the statistics are the same for getting pregnant and having a normal pregnancy as if you had never used a contraceptive. If you already are pregnant, you may need to terminate the pregnancy. Please see your doctor!!!

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.

There are no age restrictions for buying condoms. We have done that for scavenger hunts and im only 14.

You can be any age to request condoms from a health department, etc. or to buy them at the store.

Antibiotics or other medications may interfere with the effectiveness of birth control, consult your doctor before you have unprotected sex.

For long-term protection, an IUD (intra-uterine device) is a good option. For more spontaneous protection, there are barrier methods such as the diaphragm or female condom, both of which you can use in combination with spermicidal gels or foam. To discuss your contraceptive options or get more information about your options, make an appointment with a health care provider.

yes, having one increases your chances of of infection. Call your dr immediately.

You start once you have one !

if you do not have a period. You do not need the birth control pill.

If you are not getting a period you are not able to become pregnant. Lack of period can occur due to : age (too young), Lack of body fat..This often occurs in athletes, the same can occur in heavy heroin or opiate users.

There is no "legal age" to start taking the pill. I suppose a more realistic answer would be "as soon as you start having periods" but really there is no legal age to be safe about sex. There isn't even a law that states that minors have to get parental permission to get the pill, and that is a very good thing.

I know you have to have to be menstruating for the docte or to insert the IUD...so they can make sure your not pregnant.

That is not how an IUD works. What an IUD do is to stop an egg from attaching to the inside of the uterus. It had no effect on the sperm. But no, it shouldn't hurt.

non-latex condoms are becoming more available.... Lifestyle has a brand called Skyn... I have been finding them at CVS, Walgreens as well as the supermarkets such as Giant Eagle, Meijer, and Kroger. Trojan as well has a brand out now too. And you can also find lamb skin almost anywhere condoms are sold

Answer

Tylenol and other pain relievers do not effect birth control. Antibiotics is what will decrease the effectiveness of birth control.

I don't know of any that you don't have to take every day, but the pill that give you for periods a year is seasonique or seasonale. It is more expensive, but you are paying for 3 months of pills at a time. Hope this helpssss!

A woman planning pregnancy may benefit from talking with her health care provider about health steps to take before conceiving, including starting a multivitamin with folic acid, considering whether any immunizations are recommended (such as rubella or varicella), and thinking about whether genetic counseling is a good idea. These recommendations are the same for women using birth control or those who are not.

Tubal ligation, Essure, or hysterectomy for women and Vasectomy for men are permanent methods of birth control.

sperm coming out of your penis is not a bad thing it just means your sexually transmitting your sperm to the girls vagnual area meaning she'll get pregnit from your sperm
