Also, even when taken properly, there is still a small rate of failure.

BCP's do not regulate your system, they suppress it using synthetic hormones. This can cause suppression of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis which tells our bodies what hormones to make & when. Taking synthetic hormones over a long period of time can throw your entire system out of whack causing Estrogen or Progesterone deficiencies or dominance long after you discontinue their use. The symptoms of these things can be very problematic for years - depression, fertility issues, mood swings, fatigue, etc.
Some people have problems - some don't - it depends on how long you were on them & how quickly your own body can bounce back.

If you are any age, your parents can't really make you stay on birth control. If you are 18 or over and want children, they can't do anything about it. Once you are over 18, you are in control of your own life.
If you are 18, you are considered an adult, despite what your parents might say. If however you are not an adult, then having children might not be what is best for you. There is a lot of responsibilities that go along with having children. First you should know the ins and outs about having a child it is more than dressing them up. Secondly, you need a full time job with good benefits so you are able to support your child. And an education. Think about choices and your future!!
answerit depends on how old you are. why would you want to have a baby while still living at home? that's irresponsible and puts a lot of stress on your parents. wait until you are 18 and move out and start your own family. don't put the burden on your parents to support you child. that's selfish.Talk to those who made the mistake of having kids too young first.
If you're a legal adult--which means over 18--then why would your parents think that they have the right to order you to remain on birth control? Maybe because you still live at their home? If that's the case...if you live at their home then you have to follow their rules.

BCP have not conclusively be connected to weight gain - as many women lose weight from taking them as gain weight. The same percent on a placebo also gain and lose.

Birth controls come in packs of 21 or packs of 28. Packs of 21 have the 3 weeks of the evenly spread hormones which you take around the same time everyday. On your fourth week you DO NOT take ANY birth control and your period should come sometime around that. For packs of 28 (the pack I have) the fourth week is just sugar pills to remind you that you must take the pills everyday. If you have the pack of 28 your period should come around the 2nd or 3rd day you start taking the sugar pills.
