Birth Control

Most women will have their period within a week or two of stopping birth control pills, and may be fertile from the first day they stop taking it.

If you have stopped taking birth control and have not had your regular period as expected, you need a pregnancy test to be sure whether you are pregnant or not.

There are permanent methods of birth control for both women and men. For women sterilization can be achieved through tubal ligation a surgical procedure where fallopian tubes are sealed, or non-surgical caps which are inserted in fallopian tubes. For men sterilization can be achieved through a vasectomy, sealing the vas deferens, preventing sperm from reaching the urethra. A vasectomy can be surgical or non-surgical.
Vasectomy, tubal ligation, and Essure are considered permanent methods of birth control.

If you're taking the drug Adipex (Phentermine) watch yourself. There was a trial done in 1997 by Penn State stating "Patients taking birth control medication (oral or otherwise) who were also taking Adipex-P saw an increase in pregnancy risk by 12% over the first 6 weeks. After prolonged use of Adipex-P, the risk increase by an additional 2% for every week the user continues to use the medication."
