Birth Control

It makes sex safer, reduces teen pregnancy. But it can make them feel that there is nothing wrong with having sex without thinking about it

The alcohol, assuming it was a casual drink and not a bottle of pure grain alcohol is not a worry.

If you are asking about some sort of interaction with the alcohol and the birth control pill - again not a worry. There is no counter indication for birth control pills and alcohol. In fact if you are going to consume alcohol, birth control pills are a good choice.

The intent of birth control pills in general is to make your body believe you are already pregnant so that you don't get pregnant "again". You should not take them your entire pregnancy because it is tampering with your hormones and pregnancy involves enough of those on its own.

If you followed your normal dosing because you didn't realize you were pregnant you are most likely still safe. Talk to your doctor.

There is a "cocktail" sort of prescription that was used as a "morning after" regime to prevent pregnancy if you forgot to take your normal dosage. It would NOT terminate a pregnancy but would PREVENT one.

If your worry is that you have done something to harm your pregnancy the chances are slim to none assuming it was a single pill and a single drink.

All things in moderation and love your life!

Yes, safe period aren't safe only periods of varying probability. Out of couples relying on safe periods a full 19% gets pregnant during the first year.

If your patch falls off, you need to discard it and put on a new patch. You should not reuse the old one. Your health care provider should provide you with a prescription for a single "emergency patch" that you can have on hand for such a situation.

A variance of 10 minutes one way or the other should not change the effectiveness of your pills. However, you should try to take them as close to the same time of day as possible to keep the medicine working properly.

Oh yes! It is very possible. I was on it for awhile and then stopped for about a month and in between that period I got pregnant. So Yes it is very possible. Go to the doctor sweetheart.

If you miss a day, you should take both pills as soon as you remember. Not to be done on a regular basis. It is not the two pills in one day that will cause a pregnancy - it is the days you don't take any that could result in ovulation and pregnancy.

Sometimes it does and also it will have after-effects when you use them and honestly, I wouldn't take that pill if I were u just saying it could cause a lot of damage, and no I haven't experienced it so don't ask. Please be very careful and you might have a chance to have a better future trust me.

When you can legally consent to sex.

If you had unprotected sex and you missed 3 or more pills from a new pack you may want to consider using the Plan B pill. If you have not had sex since missing pills from your new pack - start the new pack as soon as you realize you have missed any and use back up protection (condoms or Today Sponge etc) until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days.

Hi, There is a tiny chance it could cause diarrhea, especially if you have just started taking birth control pill. I took birth control for 4 months, during which I had terrible stomach problems- urgency, diarrhea- you name it. I am only 22 but felt like I had a 90 year old's digestive system. My general doctor couldn't figure it out nor could a gastroenterologist nor OBGYN. I thought I was lactose intolerant, but not eating dairy only helped but did not stop the problem. Then I stopped taking the pill. Over the course of 3 weeks, all of my stomach problems died away. Not realizing the pill had been the problem, I started taking it about one month later and BOOM! sick all over again. So I stopped taking it again and have not had a single problem since (it is now 2 months later). I am in fact not lactose intolerant and do not have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. SO DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR WHEN THEY SAY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR BIRTH CONTROL TO CAUSE DIARRHEA or that it's just stress upsetting your stomach! For whatever reason, doctors assume bc has no serious side affects- no one even considers the possibility of it making a woman sick. Trust your instincts. But if you have been on BC pills for a while, then you most likely have a tummy upset so avoid dairy products. Birth control can wreak havoc on your body. I was on 3 different kinds over 9 years. During which time I had alot of medical issues. I had severe diarrhea, which was mistaken for 9 years as celiac disease. I then acquired migraines and extreme fatigue. As well as severe mood swings and extreme hunger. None of which was ever thought to be caused by the birth control. I have recently gone off it two months ago. My diarrhea has almost completely dissappeared and I can eat bread and pasta again. My migraines which I used to get at least 2 times a week have vanished completely. I am no longer starving all the time, and my husband appreciates the crazy mood swings being gone. I have so much energy now I am always cleaning and need less sleep at night. It seems I had a 9 year bad reaction to the pill and noone ever suggested that it could be. Im so glad I thought to go off it myself.

Some types do. Most just regulate it to be on an exact 28 day cycle, and can even make your periods lighter and shorter. Progestin pills can stop your cycle entirely, and there are pills out on the market that can cut your periods down to as few as 4 per year.

The sugar pills basically don't have any hormones such as progestin and ethinyl estradiol which allows you to have your period. The sugar pills are normally taken on the 4th week of your birth control cycle. You don't need to take the sugar pills as guided because either way you will have a period with or without talking the sugar pills on the 4th week. The sugar pills also keeps you on a schedule when on a birth control pill since many do not take them responsibly which may result in an unplanned pregnancy.

You can also skip the sugar pills and go right into your next pack of active pills and just have no periods. Read Malcolm Gladwell's "John Rock's Error" and that is what seasonale and lybrel are (skipping placebos)

Yes, it is possible but it lowers your risk by a lot.

* Condoms can break and semen can leak though. It is important not to use two condoms at once because the extra friction between the two condoms can cause them to rip.

* Birth control pills can be ineffective if you:

# do not take the pill at the pill at the same time every night # use anti-biotics while on birth control # take other medications (including some natural supplements/vitamins) that have not been approved with your doctor while on birth control # miss a pill # are not on the pill for 30 days before having "unprotected" sex # are not on the pill for 30 days before having "unprotected" sex after switching brands of birth control * Intrauterine birth controls such as the Nuva Ring, and other IUD's can slip out of place **Remember, Birth Control DOES NOT protect against STDs. The ONLY safe sex is NO sex. If you feel sex is necessary (which it never really is), be sure to use some form of protection or KNOW for a fact what types of problems your partner may have.

You should put on your next patch on schedule, regardless of bleeding. If you're still bleeding when that date comes, put it on anyway. If you stop bleeding before that date, you'll still be protected.

Start your new pack immediately. You can start the next pack the minute you realize the rest of your pill pack has been skipped. You probably won't get a period until the inert pills at the end of the next pack--that's normal. If you skip an entire month of pills, you will be left unprotected. If you start the next pack a week late, like your questions implies, use a backup method for a week.

Biotin is a water-soluble B-vitamin that helps metabolize amino acids and fats and is imperative to cell growth. It is believed that Biotin does not interfere with birth control pills.

Any of them, if you have parental permission or a court order.

If it is clumpy but soft and without a smell and occurs after your period it should be normal, but if it is thick and in particles are cheese like, then you either having a fungal or bacterial infection. See a doctor of advice on medication.

If what you mean by "safe" is avoiding pregnancy, the only safe time is long after menopause is complete. Seriously. Those dangerous fertile periods vary from woman to woman, and even in one woman they vary month to month. It's also variable how long a man's sperm will live and lurk waiting for an egg to appear, depending on how hospitable the woman's chemistry is to the little swimmers. There's an old joke: "What do you call couples who practice the rhythm method?" Answer: "Parents."

You probably need a different kind of pill. The one you are taking isn't the correct hormone dosage for you. Talk to your doctor and they will help you get the right one for your body. I'd say to use a back up method of birth control in the meantime, just to be safe.

Yes there's the sims 3 and you can get it on your ipod touch or iphone as an app for just £2.99. Or you can go to HMV in town (Liverpool) and get it as a computer game for £40.00 (I'd save up and go to HMV because an ipod touch is £189.99 and you can't do that much on the ipod with it).

Thx 4 reading hope u get it!

Hope this helps, its from yahoo's health page..

"It provides protection from pregnancy within 2 weeks of the initial injection. Blood levels of DMPA remain high for about 4 weeks, then stabilize at a lower level.

You will probably be given a pregnancy test before your first injection because one study showed that DMPA users who were either pregnant at the time of their first shot or who got pregnant while using the drug were more likely to have low birth weight babies.

It's important that you get your shots regularly. However, if you are going on an extended vacation and need one before 3 months are up, it will do no harm. You also have a grace period of about 4 weeks after the next shot is due. It is inadvisable to push the limit though, because some women have gotten pregnant by extending their three-month intervals"

You need to wait longer than one week before having unprotected sex. You cannot have unprotected sex until you have been on BCP for one complete cycle - once you receive your period after starting BCP, then you can have unprotected sex.

Hello there. As Codeine is a inflammatory and also from the Paracetamol family, its unlikelly it will affect the effectiveness of the birth control pills you are taking. But if you are in doubt, then use a condom for the next seven days to prevent pregnancy.
