What would women do to prevent their pregnancy?
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.
Does birth control affect future fertility?
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.

Why is it important to learn about contraception?
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!
Can you take the contraceptive pills earlier on some days?
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.
Would medication make birth control ineffective?
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!!

Can you extract sperm after having a vasectomy to make a baby?
This is very good question. Any body tends to think on this line. This is not possible. The sperm becomes mature as though very long passage from the testicle to the ejaculate. There is very very long and thin tube from the testis to the vas diferen. Sperm has to pass via this passage to get ready for fertilization. It is not as easy like eating a cake.
Can you get pregnant if you have a IUD and birth control pill?
If you're asking is it physically possible, then the answer would be yes. But in reality, no, it's not. The birth control pill is 99% effective (if used correctly) and using another form of birth control can seriously mess up your health. Your hormone levels would be way off. This can affect your skin, your sleep patterns, how much you eat, the seriousness of your cramps, how heavy/often your periods are, and even the health of your bones. You're probably better off just sticking with one form of birth control and using condoms.

When should one start taking birth control pills for the first time?
I am not sure if you are asking about age or time. I would suggest that if a young woman is sexually active or has a physical problem with her period that any time in her teens is a good age to start. In reference to time I would say at the start of a new cycle and one or two days at the end of a period.
What happens when coil left too long?
If you leave the copper IUD in too long, there are no potential health problems. If you leave a hormonal IUD like Mirena in too long, you may not be protected against pregnancy, but there are no other risks.
The chances are just the same as if he came inside u. if a sperm cell successfully came off inside u then there is a small chance it has reached and fertilised an egg.

How long does sperm live when on birth control?
It depends on what birth control method you're referring to. If using hormonal birth control this stops fertile cervical mucus being produced, thus the sperm will not survive for long within the acidic environment of the vagina - a few hours to a few days at most. Obviously if you were using spermicide the sperm wouldn't survive more than around 30 minutes to an hour.

What are the risks of using birth control when you are 14 years old?
If a 14 year old takes birth control it could lead her to be sexually active at her young age and she may not think she needs other form of protection. Remember that birth control does not prevent STD's. Also, nothing is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Birth control is 98-99% effective if you take it everyday at the same time and do not smoke. (I got pregnant on birth control and took it everyday at the same time and I do not smoke) So if you take it at different times, or miss a pill and you smoke it is less effective.
Condoms are very safe especially if you are having sex for the first time or with new partners. Condoms, If used correctly has a 99.9 percent effectiveness. The condom protects you from pregnancy and STI, Hiv, Aids etc. A lot of people tend to go on Birth Control pills but forget that its only purpose is to prevent pregnancy and it is not STI proof. Always use a Condom even if you are on B.C. if you are not in monogamous relationship
