Birth Control

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.

Prevention is the safest and most effective method of birth control.

Hormonal methods (the Pill, Mirena IUD, Patch, implant, DepoProvera) are highly effective when used as directed.

Barrier methods (cervical cap, diaphragm, condoms) are also effective.

Some women choose abstinence and fertility awareness.

Once a pregnancy is established abortion is the only means of termination.

After a woman stops using the birth control shot, her fertility may return right away or may take as long as 18 months to return. The average delay is nine months. This delay does not depend on the length of time the woman used the method.

go on google maps if you cant find google maps go on google.com and type google maps it will be shown and just click the link once you are on there you zoom out until they show a map of the 7 continents

yeah there is a high chance of getting pregnant because if it loose it may all of or it may not work as it is supposed to!

i hope this helps well (:

make sure it is a fit boy though not some ugly dude !!

Cause if it is a ugly dude it will be a ugly baby and it will be the dad !!

Education about teen pregnancy is vital in order to avoid it. Contraceptives should always be used in order to stop pregnancy unless the parents have a detailed life plan for themselves and the child as well as sufficient financial means for both. This is usually not the case with teen parents, and so boys and girls should be educated in school about the trials and consequences of unplanned pregnancy. To answer your originally worded question however, its because its a huge life change!

It depends on what pill you are using, if you are on a "mini-pill" of only progesterone you need to take it every 24 hours give or take 1.5 hours on either side. Taking a mini-pill even 3 hours late is the same as missing a pill.

Taking most BCP, a combination of estrogen and progesterone - as long as you take it every day - you are protected from pregnancy.

Well, if you consider beer, tranquilizers, depressants or marijuana to be medication, it is possible repeated doses over days could mess up one's pill taking schedule, and, uh-heh heh heh!

Seriously, my wife takes em' (b.c pills, that is), and she tells me that certain antibiotics could make it possible to conceive. The only other thing she's aware of is IF a woman stops taking the pill, she would DEFINITELY be more fertile than in normal circumstances (say for someone who's never taken it)! I am not aware HOW long that high incidence rate occurs in days or hours, but I would warn you it might not be very long...after all, that is why there is something called the day after pill...e.g when a couple goes on vacation and has sex ONE NIGHT w.o the pills left at home...uh-oh!!
