Does birth control protect you completely?

No form of birth control is a 100% safe, and above all only condoms can protect you from getting a disease. So combine an oral contraceptive, or a patch, with a condom. The risks are very very slim if you use both. If you both have been tested for diseases, and you're faithful to one another, you can think about not using a condom, but you should always use something!

Can a balloon be substituted for a condom if you just want the feel of a condom?

Is it normal to bleed while on active birth control?

If you first started on it, then yes, it can take anywhere from 3-6 months for some female bodies to get use to it. This also varies from woman to woman. If you've been on it for longer and you've never missed a pill(s); consult your gyno.

What is the best birth control you can get?

Will birth control help stop bleeding from a friable cervix?

It depends on the kind of pill and on your body. Birth control pills use hormones that may aggravate your friable cervix -- just the way that a pregnancy makes women's cervices more sensitive. Different pills also use different kinds and levels of hormones.

My cervix becomes even more friable on the pill, so I've stopped taking it after decades of use. You could try it and see which pill (or no pill) works best for you. Hope this helps!

What is breakthrough bleeding while on birth control?

It is minor bleeding you get while on the pill. It is not a true period, but it is similar and yet lighter.

Is it normal to not have a period if on birth control pills for a long time?

It depends on what type of birth control you are on. If you are on a birth control that will only make you have four or so periods a year, then it is normal. If you are on a normal birth control it really isn't normal to not have a period. Failure to menstrate is often caused by hormonal imbalances, certain conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, could be causing the imbalance. In any case a good consultation with a family physician or a gynecologist would be a good order.

If you stopped taking birth control would you lose weight?

If you gained any weight while on the pill, once you stop taking it you will most likely lose the same amount you gained, due to the hormones that are increased, when taking the pill. However, this can depend on your diet, as well as the type of birth control you are taking.

High heat (like keeping them in your wallet or in the glovebox of your car) will weaken condoms. If you and your girlfriend are going to have sex in the car, buy fresh rubbers from a store--not a machine somewhere--on the drive to the place you're going to do it. That way you know they're good.

Can the Birth control pill cause breast enlargement?

Yes it can make your breast grow, it honestly just depends on the person. Usually the younger you start (13-15) your chances are higher for them to grow. Mine have grown a full cup size in one year of being on the pill, I am 16 now.

I took birth control pills for 19 years and my boobs never go bigger. Unless things have changed a lot, you are only 15, you are still growing. There are execises you can do to increase your breast size. Look into them.

Well Duhhh!! IT also makes you gain weight. Who knows.. you could turn fat. But its not bad to be on the plus size weight limit. It actually mean that your are healthy. While you take the pill, your boobs will grow and soo will every other part of ur body.

There isn't a specific type of birth control that can make your boobs bigger. Birth control that effects your hormones are known to increase breast size. This would include birth control pills, shots, etc. Increased breast size is just a side effect of all hormone changing birth control but it can also be associated with breast tenderness.

Yes and it's because of the estrogen and you may also feel slightly bloated at times, have tender breasts and put on a little weight.

Slightly

2: Massaging the breast into lactation.

3: Sit down imagine them growing and feel them becoming bigger .

(This effect has been proven)

4: Hormone therapies

5: Surgery

6: Getting pregnant.

yes, when you take birth control it makes your body think your pregnant.sore boobs do tend to grow.

It may, birth control effects people in different ways. Since you're only 15 you will probably still grow and all over get heavier. I started on ortho tri cyclen lo (at age 20) and about 6 months later i went from a 34B to a 34C, it's not that much of a difference though. I know someone who took yaz and it made her boobs bigger but it also changed her body shape and she gained weight and didn't like it. I would suggest Victoria secret push up bras they're the best - they also have great push up padded bathing suit tops

any birth control may give you a chance at bigger boobs, but its only a chance.

Birth control pills have side effects of swollen breast tissue and tenderness. I currently am experiencing this but am waiting it out a few weeks to see if it continues. If you have shooting pains or noticeable aching, contact your doctor immediately.

Birth control can make your boobs bigger it depends on the person look it up
