Is there a birth control method for guys to use?

Condoms and vasectomies are the only reliable types of birth control for men. Any other types of birth control are for women. The withdrawal method is another type for men but is known to be one of the most unreliable when used over many encounters. There is a lot of research money going into a male contraceptive, and one will most likely be found in the next five years. Previous attempts have resulted in drugs that had side effects that reduced a man's desire and were not well received. One promising new method involves stopping the sperm from developing the tail that helps them swim. Also, there is a type of vasectomy that is designed to be reverseable.

Are you more fertile after getting off birth control?

No, you are just as likely as if you were never on the pill. For some women it takes a while after they get off the pill, but it possibly could take that long if they weren't ever on the pill. It is reccomended to wait until you have had one regular period off the pill before trying though.

I agree with the last comment. It usually takes about 6 months to fall pregnant off the pill, as your body will still have the pill in your system for about three months. Any drug will stay in your system for up to three months. I will wait for one or two regular periods. Don't be upset if you don't conceive because it can take about 6 months normally.

Why your yasmin birth control pills has 21 tablets only?

You have the option of buying Yasmin 28 pills or 21. The 21 pills option simply doesn't have the 7 last sugar pills that are just there for a reminder to take your pill everyday. So if you have the Yasmin 21 tablets and are done with the last pill in your pack, you don't take any pill for 7 days, then start in a new Yasmin 21 pack.

Why can't Catholics use birth control?

The Whole Church teaches that birth control is wrong altogether. It contradicts (Notice contra- ceptives, contradicting with conception) with the natural cycle and does not respect the gift of sex. Even condoms, even if they are used to prevent HIV are not approved by the Church (Although it is not a sin to use it in moral sex), if they can't even effectively stop sperm, how can it stop HIV which is a virus smaller than sperm. Pills also harm the body and thus is a sin also against health.

It also reduces ones virtues (Getting sex whenever you want it is not a virtue).

A better alternative (Which is approved by the Catholic and is morally sound if used properly) is NFP (Natural Family Planning). It is very effective and it is a moral form of birth control. It respects the natural cycles that God made our bodies with. By collecting information about the body, one can know when the woman is fertile of infertile (Only in certain periods a month can a woman get a child through sex). It helps build virtues such as patience.

There is a big difference between "I want sex right now" (Contraceptives), and "It would not be responsible it do it right now since we don't have enough money to support another child, let us wait till Tuesday" (NFP)

Yes, the entire Church opposes birth control (Except for NFP), but there are some Catholics that reject the teachings of the Church.

When things don't exactly go as they are planned, it is important to have a safe and simple back-up. This is what Plan B® One-Step offers. My patients and I talk about all the birth control options. But as part of that conversation, we also talk about what happens when birth control fails. Or when it's not used. It's extremely important to me that my patients have all the information available. Plan B® has always been what I recommend for emergency contraception. It can significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy after contraceptive failure or unprotected sex. That women can now get Plan B® One-Step in one pill, allowing them to take action even more quickly and just as effectively... this is big news. The introduction of Plan B® One-Step is news that every woman should know.

No it does not. Birth control and/or emergency contraception pills do not work that way. They will not affect a pregnancy once it has begun.

How do you not have a period while on birth control?

To skip/delay you period while on birth control, you are supposed to start a new pack of pills on the day that you would start your placebo pills. Basically you will skip your placebo week and replace it with an active week by starting a new pack of pills. This may cause you to either skip your period, or delay it. Usually by doing this, it only delays your period, and your cycle will be off next month, meaning you will no longer get your period on the same day that you normally would. Also, by doing this, most likely you will experience breakthrough bleeding.
