Birth Control

Nothing bad happens, it's just that women's multivitamins have a balance of vitamins in them designed for women (i.e slightly more iron etc...). But the vitamins that women need are not significantly different to those that men require.

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. If you are one of those women who gained from BCP - changing or stopping the pill should allow you to lose weight by reducing calories sensibly.

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.

I say do pot anyway. I love doing pot. I do it all the time.

Slim, but not impossible. Be carefull not very likely. your period starts on day 1 of your cycle. most women ovulate around the 14th day, and there is a period of about 48 hours during which an egg can be fertilized. however, it IS STILL POSSIBLE! so please continue to use protection no matter where you are in your cycle, there are no guaranteed "safe" times.

Generally the same as when you don't have an IUD. However, some women may not get a period or may have a really light period when they have an IUD and so could look for other signs such as breast tenderness, increase in appetite and fatigue etc. Get a test and check it out!

While nothing is 100% foolproof except total abstinence, using birth control will indeed reduce the risk of pregnancy, and in many cases, prevent it entirely. Some forms of birth control are far more reliable than others, so talk to your doctor and he or she can advise the best kind for you. There have been many improvements in the kinds of birth control that are available today, and contraception is used by millions of people. But if you want birth control to work, the key is to use it according to the instructions (the pill, the IUD, the contraceptive sponge and other methods are all used by the woman, and each method has its own instructions; condoms are used by the man, and here too, the condom must be used in the correct way). Some forms of birth control like condoms also protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

once the sperm hits the air it dries up..no chance Actually, it doesn't die when it hit's the air, though that is quite a common misconception. * http://www.teenwire.com/ask/2001/as-20010102p139.php * http://www.healthboards.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-219224.html * http://www.dearcupid.org/question/does-sperm-die-the-second-it-hits-the.html

If you stop taking the pills in the middle of the month you will have bleeding approximately 2-5 days later, followed by a regular period a couple of weeks later. This occurs from the drop in estrogen supplied from the pills.

I think the best age to have a child is when you are financially and emotionally ready to be a parent. you shouldn't have a baby because you feel old or you should have a baby. the end of the day is down to you but having a child is not just about you.I think the best age to have a child is when you are financially and emotionally ready to be a parent. you shouldn't have a baby because you feel old or you should have a baby. the end of the day is down to you but having a child is not just about you.

I always get mine 48 hours after taking my ring out. I really love that because then I can leave it in between 3-4 weeks (which is allowed, and safe) depending on my scheduale. Other people are different, but 1 1/2 - 3 days is pretty standard. But once you've been using it for awhile (I've been on it for 4 years) it will become really regulated- usually down to the hour. Hope this helps and you love the nuvaring as much as I do!

Oral contraceptives (or "the pill")

Sterilization

Depending on the type of migraine and associated symptoms, you may not be able to use hormonal birth control methods that contain estrogen. That still leaves plenty of choices. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

I've seen this question around and I have already answered it once today and I wonder where this comes from. Of course birth control does not make it easier to get pregnant! Birth control prevents ovulation and you can not get pregnant without a egg. in order to get pregnant you have to quit using any type of birth control. And yes, birth control is not 100% effective but not using it is 0% effective. It never helps you getpregnant!

The hormones last only as long as the rings in your body. The ring is supposed to be taken out every three weeks and you can go get a new one.
After Nuva Ring is out for seven days, you no longer have protection against pregnancy. If you had a regular 28 day cycle prior to using Nuva Ring, you can expect to ovulate in 2-4 weeks, and for your first post-ring period to come in 4-6 weeks.
You keep it in for three weeks, and remove it for one week. Pregnancy protection stops after it's been out for 7 days. Ovulation starts 2-4 weeks after that, and the next period arrives 4-6 weeks after.
After taking out the last Nuva Ring, you'll get your usual withdrawal bleed. After that, you can expect your next period in four to six weeks, if your periods were regular 28 day cycles prior to using Nuva Ring. If they were not regular before, they are likely to resume their previous irregular habit.
Depends a lot on a persons individual body and how it takes to the active medication in the bc also depends on how long you were on the birth control. It should stay in your systematleast the 7 days you on your off week. But sometimes people will find when ttc that it can take months to get a bfp when others get a bfp within the next month.

Spermicidal condoms kill sperm.

Yes. It depends what pills you re on. Many cause your menus to become lighter. ( some time a 1, 2 or 3 day period)

Doctors have discovered there is no medical need for a period.

Many doctors will now prescribe 3 months worth of pills to be taken straight with a one week break after 3 months (This results in 4 periods a year)

IUD's are another form of birth control that can virtually eliminate periods all together. and they are MUCH safer than they were 30 yrs ago.

hopes this helps to answer your question

From what I believe, BC pills contain progestin (which is a synthetic version of progesterone.) During a regular cycle progesterone is released during ovulation and continues in higher doses during pregnancy. The progesterone is the hormone responsible for building the uterus up so that the fertilized egg has a healthy spot to implant. When a body feels that the progesterone is high it assumes it is because implantation has occurred and therefore does not release another egg. So BC pills trick your body into not releasing the eggs from the ovaries by hormone manipulation. That is why it is so important to take the pills as scheduled and not miss any doses.

Yes, teens in Massachusetts have the explicit right to get birth control without parental consent. A statewide program pays for these services. You can see your pediatrician, women's health care provider, or local family planning agency to access these services. The family planning agency will likely know about opportunities for you to get free or low-cost services as well.
