How do you tell your parents your pregnant again?

You just tell them like you had to before. Of course they aren't going to be happy and they'll probably tell you what I am thinking now ('didn't you learn from the first time that you need some type of birth control?') You need to straighten up and fly right and get a life! You can't expect to have your parents go through this worry and help bail you out of another pregnancy.

Does the dosage matter with birth control to keep it effective Or is it the lower the dosage the less affective it is or does it not matter. Does it still work not matter how high or low it is?

Both high and low dosages work the with same effectiveness. There isn't any difference. The trick is that the low dosage needs to be taken at the same time each day. With a high dosage, you are more "covered" if you forget to take one for about 12 hours. With a low dosage pill, you will also find you are unable to "skip" a period. The higher dosage pills allow you to sometimes continue on with the active pills and not take the sugar pills. You with therefore not have a period and therefore "skip" your period one month. Doctors prefer you to be on the lowest dosage pill that works for you. I took the lowest dosage pill for seven years with no problems.

Is it easier for the man to get a vasectomy or the woman to get her tubes ties?

It is easier for a man to get a vasectomy because it's a simple in office procedure that only requires a local anaesthetic and about 24 to 48 hours off of work. A vasectomy is also cheaper and is more easily reversed if more children are wanted at a later date.

A Tubal ligation is a major surgery that requires being fully anesthetized, an over night hospital stay, and a few weeks of recovery time. It's also very expensive and is not easily reversed if more children are wanted at a later day if it can be reversed at all.
