Birth Control

The birth control patch, like the pill and the ring, can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. These may rarely result in death. A young woman is more likely to die from getting pregnant and delivering a baby than from using combined hormonal birth control.

Most condoms are electronically tested to be free from any puncture and leakage. However one must follow simple rules to use them so that there are no slippages during sex. One thing to remember is that there nothing like 100% assurance in the world but yes all condoms are for safe sex. You get some extra safe condoms with few leading brands. So whenever you have sex with a condom next time don't worry about safety, if you have worn it properly.

No, not at all.

Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of birth control. You should use a backup method like condoms.

Yes all condoms are waterproof unless they have been damaged. as a mater of fact they make terrific water bombs.

There are many effective weed control methods. The most effective weed control method is the act of mowing. One can purchase a mower at popular stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot.

The chances of having twins is not affected by being on depo. Your chances of having twins/triplets/etc. is determined by your family history, your age, etc. Basically, being on depo does nothing to help you have twins, but if you used depo into your thirties... you have a higher chance of conceiving twins in your thirties. This may confuse some, but it is not the birth control (depo or oral) that contributed to conceiving twins, but the age gtroup that you may now be in.
I became pregnant with twins about 12 months after getting off of the shot. Becoming pregnant with twins has nothing to do with getting off the shot and having unprotected sex it, is pure genetics twins have to run on one of the parents side of the family. Twins are not purely genetic. Twins can occur when the body releases more than one egg on ovulation. I hear the chances can be high after getting off depo because the body begins the ovulation cycle again and it could release more. Very true, twins are not purely genetic at all. Yes, they can 'run in the family,' but hormones and ovulation play a huge role in twin pregnancies, especially fraternal twins.

they don't usually "give them out" but you can go to your local health department for a urine test just about anytime you think you may be pregant. most are free but sometimes it depends on the persons income.

Pregnancy centers offer pregnancy and often STI testing for free to anyone, regardless of income, and also help with material needs if you are pregnant, parenting classes, adoption assistance, and usually ultrasounds. Go to optionline.org, call 1-800-712-HELP, or text "HELPLINE" to 313131 to find a pregnancy center near you.

Antibiotics such as Keflex (cephalexin) only interfere with oral contraceptive pills as they affect their absorption into the body and therefore may interfere with the effectiveness of the pill. Injectable contraception such as DepoProvera is NOT effected.
There are no known drug interactions between Keflex and Depo Provera.

no. when you take a drug test anyway you must always state if you are taking any medication.

Women's breasts don't grow from birth control pills.

Hormonal birth control can cause temporary breast swelling but this is temporary, no more than a person would naturally see during the menstrual cycle, and often accompanied by tenderness. Many women use hormonal birth control in their teens and early twenties, when breast growth is most likely to occur, some people mistakenly attribute natural breast growth to use of the birth control pill.

i would get that checked out. you could be pregnant, or there is something wrong with your menustration that could be dangerous to your health.

Are you talking about pills here? If you are, pills (used correctly) will prevent pregnancy 99 times out of a hundred. Condoms will prevent pregnancy about 93 times out of a hundred. BUT, condoms also help prevent infection.

I'm going through that myself, bottom line, according to my ob/gyn it all depends on when your body stops having enough progesterone to keep your period from happening. Then it would be 3-4 weeks after you started a pack of pills regularly again.

There is no age restrictions on purchasing condoms. Head to your local grocery store, convenience store, Walmart etc and they will be in the pharmacy section.

If you're taking more than 200 mg of Topamax, it could make the birth control pill, ring, or patch less effective.

Topamax does not affect how well Depo Provera, the IUD, or condoms work.

That depends, you have to take one pill for each quart of sperm that enters your body. How many quarts did you take?

yes. birth control is about having a certain number of children. in china, there is birth control and you can have maximum of 2 kids.

No it does not and it does not work for abortion either. There are no pills you can take that kills sperm.

Yes to some woman others no. I noticed a difference in my breast

Some women complain of bloating after starting hormonal birth control. This side effect normally goes away within the first three cycles. If it lasts longer, or is bothering you, contact your health care provider, who can talk about options for changing the type or brand of birth control you're using.

if a teen is going to have sex they will do it and not having access to birth control will not stop them.

I think they should be given birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and also to enable us to educate them on sexual health and preventing the spread of infection. every teen needs access to a confidential family planning service.

Overdosing on birth control pills isn't fatal. Depending on the brand/chemical in that particular pill, it could be anything from breast tenderness, to irregular bleeding, to discolored urine. You should, however, consult the insert for your pill and follow the directions if you've missed 3-4 active pills.

If you started the new birth control on time, starting no later than you were scheduled to start the next cycle of your old birth control, then there's no increased risk of pregnancy. If you started late, you might be at risk for pregnancy.

an IUD prevents pregency, but it is not always effective. ( For a better answer, have the couple talk to a doctor about effective birth control ). WikiAnswers does not practice medicine.
