Does birth control cause blood clots?

Do highschools distribute birth control?
Each individual board of education must approve the distribution of birth control, such as giving out condoms etc. Hormonal birth controls (the pill etc.) are prescription medications and cannot be given out by someone who is not qualified to write prescriptions (but if a school approved it, and a the school nurse was a PA then I suppose they could). If you are a high-schooler and are looking for birth control, and your school does not distribute it, you should contact a local clinic such as planned parenthood... and you should remember that when you are having sex you should worry about both pregnancy and STDs/STIs, which means protecting against both. If you are a young woman you should consider getting the HPV vaccine, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits.
Can birth control help endometriosis?
Yes. Most hormonal birth control stops the body from ovulating by "tricking" it into thinking that you are pregnant. The lower level of estrogen during pregnancy is mimicked by birth control and can help control endometriosis. Many providers will prescribe the pill and recommend skipping the week of placebo pills, thereby skipping a period completely, or will recommend the birth control implant or Mirena IUD to serve the same purpose. If you are on back-to-back birth control like this, make sure to take periodic pregnancy tests just in case, since you will not have the symptom of a missed period to signal a possible pregnancy.

Did you ejaculate in her in those few seconds? Even if you didn't it is possible that the pre-cum, which has sperm in it, could have enetered her.

Next time, man up and buy condoms.

How can you get the birth contol patch?
Ask your gynecologist. If you don't' have one or can't afford one go to your local health department. The above answer is right on, but wanted to add before you decide on the patch ask a lot of questions about what you are putting into your body. The patch or even pill form are hormones and you will have irregular periods for a bit. Birth control patches/pills can cause many problems such as weight gain, headaches, moodiness, bloating, blood clots and heart disorders. If you choose to stop birth control you are more susceptible than ever for getting pregnant. ALWAYS be sure what you are putting into your body. Smoking is a no no with birth control patches/pills!

Can birth control be started 3 weeks early?
It depends on the particular brand of BCP's, the hormones in some if not started in the days after your period starts will cause bleeding or heavy spotting. Others don't have that effect.

Do you have to wait another 7 days after taking your sugar pills?
The sugar pills are there to keep you in the habit of taking the pills daily. Do not break the habit. Continue your daily dose at same time every day or you will maybe become pregnant.

If you have missed a pill, play it safe and use condoms for the first 7 days of the new packet.
Is Yaz for birth control and how effective is it?
YAZ uses 24 days of active pills followed by 4 days of inactive or "reminder" pills to round out the cycle. The 24-day active hormone pill regimen combined with the 30-hour half-life of drospirenone results in less hormonal ups and downs between cycles than when using the more traditional birth control pill.
Like all birth control pills, YAZ prevents pregnancy by providing hormones (estrogen and progestin) that suppress ovulation (the maturing and release of an egg) and other related changes your body goes through in preparation for a pregnancy.
If taken correctly on a daily basis, YAZ is as much as 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, but there is still a 1% chance that you could get pregnant. Furthermore, missing a pill or taking a pill a few hours later than normal can decrease the effectiveness. Certain medications like antibiotics are also known to increase the chance of your birth control pill failing.
