Can birth control mess up your period?
There are many different forms of birth control, but if you're talking exclusively about hormonal birth control such as combination pill, mini pill, or ring then they don't so much 'mess up' your period as stop it all together.
Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle/reproductive cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between the brain and reproductive organs over the space of 28 days on average. Menstruation occurs roughly two weeks after ovulation, if the egg released is not fertilised it triggers the break-down in the uterus lining design to support a fertilised egg.
Hormonal birth control such as the combination pills works to suppress the menstrual cycle/reproductive cycle in order to prevent ovulation (it also effects cervical mucus and prevents uterus lining becoming as thick) - as a woman doesn't ovulate while on hormonal birth control it means she doesn't menstruate. The bleeding women get while on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in hormones when going from the active to inactive/placeo pills, this is meant to mimic menstration but is not the same thing.
During the first three months on a new hormonal birth control some irregular bleeding is normal as the body adjusts from having a menstrual cycle to this synthetic pattern of withdrawal bleeds. Irregular bleeding can be a common side-effect of hormonal birth control, if it continues after three months it is best to discuss this with a doctor to consider switching to another brand or form of birth control without this side-effect.
In actual means a girl is fertile from 14 days before the date when her menses start for the first time
Is PrimolutN-5mg is oral Contraceptive?
Primolut N contains norethisterone, which belongs to a group of medicines called progestogens, which are female hormones. Primolut N can be used in several different circumstances: * to treat irregular, painful or heavy periods * to treat endometriosis (where tissue from the lining of the womb is present in places where it is not normally found) * to treat premenstrual syndrome (also known as premenstrual tension, PMS or PMT) * to delay periods
>> YES it's a contraceptive too.. but it's not recommended for, better go for "Meliane" contraceptive pills.
PrimolutN it encourages the periods to occur - if it's delayed or irregular.

Can Birth Control alter the timing of your period?
- The most common side effects of the pill are headaches,SPOTTING BETWEENPERIODSand weight changes (loss or gain).
- Monophasic extended cycle pills have been approved. These monophasic pills reduce the frequency of the period by extending the time between the placebo interval, when a withdrawal bleed is experienced.
- The vaginal ring is a flexible, plastic ring that a woman places into the vagina. It works by releasing low levels of hormones. It is left in place for three weeks, then removed for one week during which a withdrawal bleed occurs. Unlike some other devices, the ring does not require a special fitting or placement.
- The contraceptive patch is an adhesive patch that releases hormones into the body through the skin. It is placed on the buttocks, upper arm, or upper torso, and each patch is worn continuously for one week at a time for three weeks and is removed for one week during which a withdrawal bleed occurs.
- The Mirena IUD can reduce menstrual cramps and the amount of bleeding that accompanies a woman’s period. Typically, women using Mirena may see that their menstrual flow is reduced by 90 percent. In approximately 20 percent of Mirena users, their flow stops altogether within one year. This could lower one’s risk for anemia
- Progestin-Only Methods: options like Mirena IUD and Depo-Provea Injection can relieve cramping and menstrual bleeding. Periods may be less frequent or stop altogether, which lowers the risk for anemia
- The Pill: it can reduce the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers, may improve acne, and can lessen premenstrual symptoms

- It all depends on the type of birth control you are using, but a lot of methods of birth control can alter your period in many ways.
Does birth control make your breast grow?
Yes it makes you gain weight but some or most go to your boobs.
What happens to ejaculated sperm when on birth control?
Nothing. When using birth control (eg, the Pill) the female's body is fooled into thinking it is already pregnant by using hormones. This is how it works. You don't fall pregnant because your body thinks that an egg has already been fertilized and there is therefore, no need to produce another one (since we have only one pregnancy at a time). When the sperm search for an egg to fertilize, they do not find one (as it has not been produced) because as far as your body is concerned, it has one fertilized egg already and nothing more is required. So the sperm basically search and eventually die.
Are there condoms for girls too?
Here's what WikiAnswers contributors say: * There are female condoms. They aren't as easy to find as regular condoms, and they don't really have any major advantage over regular condoms. * But there are many methods of birth control for women, such as birth control pills/patches/shots. * Yes they have female condoms. It's a ring that is placed in the vagina and needs to be changed every so often. * Yes there are comdoms that fit into the vagina but are used mostly to try to prevent STDs, sexually transmitted diseases. They are not as reliable as other means of birth contol. * Female condoms are also called diaphragms.
How does the birth control pill work?
Birth control pills work by giving your body additional estrogen and progesterone, at different amounts during the month. This increase in estrogen and progesterone works via a negative feedback loop; in other words, it tells your body that there is a lot of estrogen and progesterone and therefore it needs to shut off the pathways that produce that estrogen and progesterone. To do this, the body lowers the amount of another hormone, FSH. This hormone, also known as follicle-stimulating hormone, not only affects the release of estrogen and progesterone, but also is necessary for follicle development. Birth control pills decrease the amount of FSH, making it impossible for your follicles to develop. Consequently, these follicles can never mature and release the egg.
How do you skip your period on birth control?
if you just want to do it once, you can skip the sugar pill week and start a new pack instead. if you want to have fewer periods in general, talk to your doctor about switching to a pill like seasonique which will give you only 1 period every 3 months. however, either of these methods may cause spotting between periods.
Practically speaking, there isn't one.
If you know EXACTLY where you're at in your menstrual cycle, there are days where the chance of getting pregnant is really, really small. But counting the days isn't accurate enough for that.
One in five women relying on "safe periods" will get pregnant within one year anyhow.
Can stopping the birth control pill delay your period?
yes.
Yes, you may get your next period late after you stop the pill.
Hi, I would recommend that you see your DR for a Quantitative beta hcg pregnancy blood test. Also be aware that the messed up cycle may be caused by Yasmin. It may also be benficial to you to change your birth control if this one isn't suitable for you. Please note this is advice only & should not be used in place of seeking your Doctors advice.
If you see sperm in the condom does it mean your safe?
Assuming there is no leak or tear in the condom, (which is supposed to be very rare), then you should be fine. That's exactly what condoms are for.
What happens if you lose one birth control pill?
If you lose a birth control pill, take the next day's pill, and so on, until you finish the pack. You'll start your next pack a day early, as it's important not to go more than seven days without taking an active pill. In other words, if you started this last pack with the lost pill on Sunday, you'll start the next pack on Saturday, and that will be your new start day.
Does a navel piercing affect fertility?
No it cannot, unless it gets infected.
________________ How is it going to affect you physiologically? The only thing that could possibly happen along those lines is a SEVERE inward travelling infection, and even then your heart and brain are more at risk.
What happens to your body when you take several birth control at once?
You have over-dosed your system & this can result in vomiting, dizziness, abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding.
Hormone levels and other factors will cause irregularity. No woman has ever had a perfect menstrual cycle.
If you use the diaphragm and condom what chance of getting pregnant?
Of course there is always that underlying chance but you using both is GREAT and I have to commend you - the odds are slim to none.
it jus depends some people it can take days or weeks
How do condoms affect the sensitivity during sex?
Rubber condoms are thick so sensation for the man wearing it is dulled. They also block heat flow, which is apparently an important stimulator for the penis. They have the advantage of slowing male orgasm which is good for the partner.
More expensive non-latex condoms are thinner, transmit heat better and can be used with all kinds of lubricants. And of course, are much more expensive.
You are 14 and you want to buy condoms without anyone finding out?
Just go to a store and buy them, or get them from a Family Planning Clinic.
Local clinics are shown on the web and are in all cities where they are free, dont be worried about people finding out. Friends wont take the mick (or they wouldn't be friends) and your partner will be pleased you got them. Don't forget there are social workers at school who will hand them out, don't be scared to ask, they are there to be safe.
Are you stupid you shouldn't have sex at 14 that is to young. Sex leads to babies and a child can't raise a baby.
A:More should be said about the dangers of having sex at an early age not just how to get condoms for free ! Some schools will have councelors or social workers connected with them but they don't just give condoms out to whoever asks them willy-nilly It is not about that ! They give advice about sexual relationships and try and discourage under-age sex. They can tell the difference between kids who are serious and those who are not. Advice is given on picking up sexual diseases and what you should do and not do. It is surprising how little children know about these subjects in fact. Children always pretend that they know everything, and don't really want to listen to family preaching on about everything, and that's why it is important they have someone impartial to turn to for advice. Yes a sexual health clinic can give out condoms but they want to get information back about you at the same time to make sure you are being as careful as possible.
Can you overdose on birth control pills?
You can't kill yourself with birth control pills. An overdose will also not cause abortion or infertility.
Does birth control cause your cervix to close?
One of the ways that hormonal birth control prevents pregnancy is by thickening the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to get to the egg. Birth control doesn't close the cervix, but it does make it less permeable.
What happens when you take your birth control pills 30 minutes late?
Nothing. Birth control pills can be taken even an hour late, and still work the same. As long as you don't make a habit of taking them hours late all the time.
