That would happen to me every once in a while..no idea why (probably because of lack of lubrication/friction) but I was on the pill and didn't use a condom or anything.  Now that I'm off the pill, we use condoms that are lubricated and it hasn't happened to me since.  Condoms are so nice =)

The modern birth control pill is far less likely to cause weight gain than the older ones. \n\nI'd say you're more likely to gain weight from getting married than from taking the pill.  Did you know that most women gain an average of 5 - 10 pounds after they get married?  It's not laziness, it's just the change in lifestyle.  So just because the pill isn't likely to increase your weight, you can't afford to relax and not worry about your weight.  Especially at your age.  Perimenopause starts about 10 years before menopause.  Your metabolism is going to start to slow down and your body is going to start hoarding fat to compensate for the slight reduction in oestrogen that's about to happen.  So do be careful!

I have been on depo for a little while, and am switching to pills.  I bled for a month, followed by a horrible yeast infection that I cannot treat because I a nursing a baby.  I also have swelling in the face and legs, and have lost my sex drive.  Do you know that doctors use depo as chemical castration in sex offenders?  there are alot of problems associated with depo, and if you have osteoperosis in your family, depo is proven to deminish bone density after 2 years of use.  My doctor wasnt aware that my grandmother has it, and just broke her arm picking up a pitcher of tea!\nDo not use depo, it is a horrible drug, it even has a black label on the box, mandated by the fda, just like ciggarettes.

There are so many different pills, if this one is no longer working for you, ask your doctor if you can try another one. I've changed pills for the same reasons as one that seemed to agree with me suddenly stopped and I was an emotional wreck. I'm now on a low dose pill and I'm much better......and my kids aren't afraid to speak anymore lol.

no. i was told by my doc wen i started taking it that it wasnt healthy sskipping the sugar pills more than twice. ou will find most girls cant skip that much without bleeding. its natural and your body will eventually get rid of it no matter how long you u want to skip.

I've gained weight on every BCP I took except Yasmin.  I lost about 5-6 lbs and kept it off.  As soon as I got off of it I gained it all back plus a couple for good measure.

I have tried a lot of different diet pills...some of them worked and some of them didn't. I had gotten to the point that no diet pill would make me jittery and 7 vasopro would barely do anything. Ok...so around feb I decided I wanted to lose like 10lbs(aka winter coat), but the whole cutting back on calories, and upping work outs wasn't working. I ended up ordering Venom by ALRI....well...my 10lbs flew off and turned into 20lbs. The main thing the pill does is supress your appetite...you have to eat...but you are going to have to remind yourself...I am serious. The two things I didn't care much for is that you absolutely should not take it after noon,you won't sleep, and your mouth get super dry. I did notice that I could focus on things a lot better and my energy was outrageous. I believe that they changed the name to Venom Hyperdrive and they now have a pill that goes with it to help you sleep, which I have not tried. I have been off them for about a month and my weight is the same.\nI hope I helped...and I am sorry if I upset anyone for seeming pro pill. I grew up on herbal supplements...and have studied the uses/effect of many different herbs...so I tend to think people freak out a little too much when it comes to diet pills(not all of them). Well.....good luck...

YES AND IT SUCKED. I very STRONGLY advise you not to use diet pills in general, but Trim Spa I think is one of the worse ones. I tried it once and it made me sick for about a day. They say that the feeling only lasts for a day or so, and then you get used to it, but that is obviously not natural. If your body has a bad reaction then it's obviously not healthy for you in any way. Medications effect people differently however, and some people have felt no complications at all. But why take the risk of feeling bad and/or the obvious risk diet pills have for your health anyway? The best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat right, sorry to break it to you. But it's really not so hard to eat better once you start exercising. Exercise is the first step, and your exercise doesn't have to be as strenuous as some people say it is. It can actually be fun if you just find some way to make it fun for you and find a way to stick to it. You have to believe in yourself and know you have the power, and know you're WORTH it. You are strong. I am currently going to Curves, and surprisingly it's not that expensive and it's a pretty easy and very effective workout! I only pay 29$ a month. All in all it's great! Just a suggestion, if you're a woman that is...wow, this was a rather long answer on my part :)!

I was on that pill for awhile and I did gain a little weight. It wasnt a whole lot but it was like 5 to 10 pounds that fluctuated for awhile. Unfortunately, almost every pill out there has a side effect of weight gain. The shot is even worse. Every girl i know who has gone on the shot has gained like 15 pounds at least. I think the patch causes it too. So if you are on any of these things, just be careful about what you eat and be mindful of your weight and you should be fine.

I had it, ignored it, and was ok. I lost some weight and now only have cysts once in a while.  I would think it depends on how painful they are and how big they are.  My cysts usually broke up on their own, consult your physician about yours.

Basically, the pill can cause alot of health problems. There have been people that have died from heart attacks, blood blots, etc. Mainly, DO NOT SMOKE and your chances of anything bad happening will be very very small. Also, watch your weight too. Gaining weight is another problem that could occur. I was on the pill for about 2 years, and I didn't have any problems at all. Now I am on the Nuva Ring and I love it.

Side effects of hysterectomy (keep the ovaries).  No more cramping, bleeding, birth control.   Had mine 12/02 and started having an occasional hot flash just recently.  PMS hung around for a few months.  Other than that, and a lil 'swelly belly' .. everything's fine.  We adjust.  Beats the HELL out of alot of pain.
