Birth Control

By taking a pregnancy test.

The earliest is 2 weeks after.

Yes of course - just remember to take them!

When you take birth control pills, you will have your period arriving during the 7 days break. During this time your period may last between 2-7 days.

if you are on certain birth controls you can gain weight... it depends on which one you are on. Ask your doctor if their is a chance that you will gain weight by being on the pill she is suggesting, there are some that will not usually make you gain weight.

Contraceptives is a name for various products that can allow people to have sex w/o getting pregnant. A condom for instance will not only protect against pregnancy, but also against STDs.
Contraceptives are birthcontrol pills.
Contraceptives are synthetic hormones that are used as birth control. Contraceptives can come in the forms of; birth control pills,IUD's, patches, or even can be shots. Contraceptives commonly contain estrogen and progesterone, or even just progesterone.Birth control pills must be taken every day and at the same time everyday to keep birth control effective. Birth control is 99.9% effective to prevent pregnancy when taken properly.

i dont
think so

The term "safe sex" does NOT cover birth control- but is directed at preventing the spread of HIV (AIDS). Condoms CAN provide SAFER sex, but condoms DO fail -some studies show a failure rate of about 12%. If you are having sexual intercourse, condoms (when ALWAYS used and used correctly) can significantly reduce potential exposure to most STDs. However, the only TRUE safe sex is to have sex only in a mutually monogamous relationship (with only one other person, that also only has sex with you, and both of you do not have an STD.)

It depends on the woman, the pills, how you're using everything, etc. You should ask your doctor this question, as only he can safely answer it.

Here is information on various methods of birth control and when they become effective. Of course, using a back up method like condoms helps to further reduce the risk of pregnancy, as well as reducing the risk of infection.

You can confirm this information by checking the FDA insert that came with your method, or the prescribers' information regulated by the FDA. These are evidence-based guidelines that are the standard of care in the US.

If you have trouble using the method as prescribed (e.g. forgetting pills, taking out the NuvaRing mid cycle), you may need to use backup for much longer, as you increase the risk of pregnancy by not using the method correctly.

Here are the guidelines used by professionals in family planning. These represent the standards of care in use in the US at this time.

hi

1.)The natural way to reduce pregnancy is not to do sex.

but ot many guy/girls cant do it.

2)go for a safe sex. Condom is best thing of safe sex it help u to protect your counter part and u from dangerous diseases. if it is not a matter of concern for u, u may go for pills.pills are a bit no that safe, not only from pregnancy point but also from health point of view.

birth control should reduce the amounts of cramps that you have

Well birth control is not 100% gauranteed to keep you from getting pregnant, so if you want to take extra precaution I suggest using a condom. Birth control also does not protect against STD's

Condoms, by a large margin.

I don't know why, but some people's periods do get delayed when sick. The answer is yes.

it is effective to a point..but not always. you can still get pregnant using birth control. its a big preventor of pregnancy but its still possible to get pregnant.

Woman who have been through menopause will not fall pregnant, but should still use barrier contraceptives for HIV control.

Women still in menopause are most unlikely to fall pregnant, but should still use barrier contraception for HIV control.

If they don't want to use barriers, non hormonal contraception is best. Spermicidal gels and foams are easy to use and given the lowered fertility, most effective.

You could seriously hurt yourself. Have your ob/gyn do it.

to all the girls out there that are having isuess with you IUD like i was. You can remove it at home. This is how i did it.. I layed down on the bathroom floor had my boyfriend use his middle and index fingers to locate the strings. Gently pull on the strings ( it may take awhile for him to get ahold of them or with a couple of tries.) but then he finally felt the tip of it grab ahold of it and slowly pulled. The next thing i knew it was out. Afterward i had a little cramping and i little lite spotting but trust me it was worth it. I was worried and scared but just relax and breath and trust me it will be just fine.

I wouldn't try it, I have been told(I also have one) that it does hurt when removed because the "wings" have opened inside. So it would be like pulling it out and they must go up, so to speak. It is hard you must also find the string to pull.

Yes you can! I removed mine just Friday (and started my normal period on Sunday). It didn't hurt like it did having it put in, however, it was uncomfortable, and you do have to be careful trying to pull it down. It is hard to grasp, but certainly not impossible. I was tired of all the side effects, so I removed mine on my own.

Yes, my husband tried to remove it but the string is very slipperly but at second time he got the string and pulled it very very slowly. It came out perfectly. After it was removed, I got more orgasm.

I will say that I took mine out on my own as well, i pulled upward and VERY slowly on mine and it came out with no issues... Otherwise I would have had to wait a month or more on my MD and time is obviously of the essence when you are trying to plan a pregnancy. I don't recommend this for everyone, but i also had an OB nurse, who is my friend, talk me through it on the phone. Just use lots of care if you decide to do this on your own. Oh and btw, you only pass through the cervix.... not the uterus. The cervix is the opening of the uterus, come on people get your basic anatomy correct!

yes, thank you for the help. my obgyn was going to charge $175 to remove my minera IUD and i don't have insurance. I read up online. The danger seems to be if it's not in the right place. Since I'd just been to see the obgyn and she'd said it was in place, i felt safe attempting to remove it. My boyfriend is better at finding the strings (usually with an "ouch!" when we're intimate. the things they don't tell you...) First we tried him getting the strings. I think he relaxed me with his fingers and he found the strings. he showed me where they were. I put my finger behind them and then pushed with my muscles to make them come forward. this worked really well. i was able to grasp them between my fingers. then i just relaxed and breathed and pulled gently and very slowly. i thought about pushing more but we decided that with the wings, i was better to stay relaxed. he lay down next to me and i continued to pull gently. it didn't hurt at all. it probably didn't take long but i wasn't hurrying. there was a pop-release and walla. there it was. it was gooey. i think my body was protecting itself. i was very surprised that it was so easy and didn't hurt.

I pulled out my own IUD. I got criticism for doing so, but i really didnt know what the harm was, as long as when you pull it out you dont feel resistence. My strings were on the longer size and i had my husband just pull on them gently and it came out with no force. I haven't had any problems from doing so.

You take the birth control pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding. It's possible that you'll be taking an active pill while still bleeding, or may start bleeding before your'e on the placebo week, if your brand of pills has one.

I just researched this myself on the internet, and MD's say to just keep taking the pills a day early until the end of the pack, which means you'll finish the pack a day early. You'll either get your period a day early or right on time, no harm done or pregnancy risk.

A little bit of coffee actually speeds up sperm. However, too much coffee, about the amount of an average of three cups a day, can cause DNA damage that will lead to birth defects. It won't kill the sperm it will mutate it, often rearranging the chromosomes that will lead to the embryo dying. It's best to keep coffee intake low. You don't have to elminate it, afterall coffee has its health benefits as well, including increased prostate health.

yes!
