Can you get pregnant if you just started taking your first ever birth control pill on a Saturday evening then had sex the next night and had your boyfriend ejaculate inside you?

As you should have started taking your pills during your period you should not get pregnant. However the manufacturers put that piece of paper in the box for you to read to tell you about this stuff. READ IT

it's very possible, if I remember right birth control pills have to be taken for a few weeks before they become effective.

I did read what was written on the leaflet but when I got to this FAQ site, I read that you at least have to wait for a week before having unprotected sex so I got confused and scared.

The piece of paper applies to YOUR pills, there are hundreds of different ones out there so the advice given here is very general.

Why can't i fit in a tampon when i have started my period?

A tampon will fit as long as you're relaxed - if you're tense then vaginal muscles will tense causing the vaginal canal to tighten, thus narrower and more difficult to insert the tampon. Relax your vaginal muscles, also try masturbating as when aroused the vagina relaxes, lubricates, increases in size, and opens. Make sure you're also using the correct absorbency for your flow.

If your period starts on a Thursday is it ok to start your birth control pill pack the following Sunday?

This is the the way most women start using The Pill. You need to use a back up method until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days the first month you start taking the pill.

Beginning with your next packet of pills you will not need to use back up, no matter what day you start your period, start the pills on Sunday.

Remember if you or your partner have more than one sex partner, BCP will not prevent STD.

What to do if your birth control pill does not regulate your period?

Birth control pills can't regulate your period, that's impossible - they work by stopping your menstrual cycles so that you don't ovulate, thus you also don't menstruate (bleeding women get on the pill is a withdrawal bleed, not menstruation). You need to have tests carried out to determine why your periods are irregular and then look into treatment options.

When a girl have first menstruation can she go swim in the pool?

There is absolutely nothing that a woman can't do while she is menstruating, and that includes swimming in a pool.

During menstruation in order to go swimming you need to use an internal menstrual product such as tampons, sponges, softcups, or menstrual cups in order to prevent your blood getting in the pool - although menstrual flow isn't dirty, no one wants to swim through your menstrual blood or uterine tissue!

Tampons aren't recommended to younger women due to higher risks of TSS, especially for the first few cycles when you wouldn'tknow your flow pattern to know what absorbency to use - also tampons can't be worn with light flow. Menstrual cups are the best option as they are safe to use at any time without risk of TSS, including with light flow, also unlike tampons cups don't absorb water, have anything showing outside the body, and don't leak like other options either. Opt for a small menstrual cup like Ladycup or MeLuna.

Which is better tampons or pads?

The choice as to whether tampons or pads are better is a personal one. Some people find tampons more convenient, and some prefer pads. There is no health reason to use either unless you have previously had toxic shock, or are in a situation where hand washing or other hygiene aspects are difficult, in which case pads would be preferable.

Both can be used throughout the period.
