Not necessarily. Sometimes there is breakthrough bleeding with the pill. You need to see your doctor so that it can be changed to one with a different balance of hormones. Your doctor can also do some blood work to make sure everything is fine.
Why do birth control pills increase blood pressure and clotting?
Birth control pills contain progesterone, the female regulatory hormone, which has an effect of body chemistry, particularly fat and water retention and the thinning of arteries. An increase in any of these will lead to higher blood pressure. Higher blood pressure can eventually lead to blood clots, especially if one has a high-cholesterol diet. That is why people who use birth control pills should have regular contact with a physician, exercise, and maitain a well-balanced diety and healthy lifestyle.

How do you change your birth control pill start day?
Yes, you can change your start day without increasing the risk of pregnancy as long as you don't go more than seven days without an active pill. To do so, just start the next pack earlierthan scheduled, rather than later. So if you want to change your start day from Sunday to Wednesday, and you took your last active pill on Saturday, take the placebo/sugar pills for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, discard the old pack, and take the first active pill of the new pack on Wednesday.
Well I know for a fact that the pull out method does not work but if she is taking her birth control pills like she is supposed to then you have a 98% chance that she may not be pregnant, but beware it only takes one time and if you do not want a child at this time always protect yourself and make sure if your partner is not resposible that you are. It is nearer 99% and applies to using the pill for a year, not any one time. If 100 women use the the pill for a year only 1 of them will become pregnant.
You should consider taking birth control for at least 3 months to let your body regulate to the hormones and then you'll have a better chance of changing the time of your period.

Although it's rare for a vasectomy to "reverse" on its own, it has happened.
Yes, of course you can but some of them have bad taste. Water based lube has taste like water for example. I think Oiled one has bad taste. So if you are female and you want to give oral sex you can put lube on a penis and give ''handjob'' and ''blowjob'' at same time even if lube is on it.
Birth control pills are the most effective form of birth control. The withdrawal method does not work and if your practice that you will become pregnant. Thanks, JM
Yes. The pill is about 97% effective with typical use, 99% effective with perfect use (hint: read the directions and follow them). That leaves a 3% chance with typical use and a 1% chance with perfect use of getting pregnant.
With typical use, condoms are about 82-90% effective (10-18% of couples using this as sole birth control method will get pregnant over the course of a year), but 98% effective with perfect use. Just so we don't overestimate things, these calculations use the worst typical effectiveness.
If I am a typical pill user I have a 3% chance of getting pregnant. If I combine that with a condom, then I have a ((3)x(0.18))% chance of getting pregnant, or only 0.54% now.
If I am a typical pill user and combine that with the pull-out method (effectiveness about 70% on a good day), then my chances of getting pregnant are ((3)x(0.3))%, or 0.9%.
As you can see, the withdrawal method by itself isn't particularly effective, but because the pill is very effective at preventing pregnancy, the chances of it happening are small.
The pill+condom combination is more effective, because condoms have a better success rate than the withdrawal method.
In addition condoms help prevent STDs
