why should you stop taking contraceptive pill before elective surgery?
594306
I've never heard this - but I know some contraceptives become less effective when antibiotics are used.  (That's how I got here.)  Often after elective surgery antibiotics are issues, so perhaps the idea is to get you used to not taking them so that you don't rely on them afterwards?

I've been on the pill for 5 years... my gyno said there aren't negative long term effects.  Beats wanting to die from horrible cramps.

Stopping a birth control often throws your hormones out of whack, it can take your body a little while to adjust to the changes. If you are concerned about it you should call your Dr., but my guess is just that your body is reacting to the loss of the bc hormones.

If you are on the pill, skip the suger pills (last week) and go right into your next pack. If you aren't, then go to a doctor right away and get him/her to get you a script for something that might be able to prolong things.

birthcontrol pills make it stop but less stress could make it come early

`girl, I must say that that isn't strange!!!!  Your body isn't use to not being on the pill!!! Its like when you take drinks and smothies to lose weight, you will lose but when it is time to eat again your body can't take it. You don't need to take pills, lose weight the old fashion way!!!!!!

More than likely you are spotting/ break through bleeding because you missed a pill or took one late. Did you make up the missed pill? You should always take all of the pills in your pill pack regardless of any bleeding. As soon as you realize that you missed a pill take it and stay on schedule with the rest of your pill pack. Not doing so will reduce the effectiveness of your pills. Also, these may not be the best pills for you, tell your doctor what symptoms you are having and they can determine a better pill for you. If you have stopped taking your pills or didn't make up the missed pills you would be wise to use condoms until you see your doctor and are told otherwise.

I have been experiencing the same thing for many years, and taking the Pill helped only during the taking of the pill. Meaning that when i stopped it to begin family planning it was as irregular as before the pill. \nIn my case, it is my thyroid that causes the problem. In very simple words, the thyroid generates hormones that  regulate metabolism and other matters. Ask your Obstetrician/ Gynecologist about this and if not other problems exist he might send you to an Endocrinologist to do a thyroid test. It is not painfull or anything. And again it might not be what i say after all, but this is what happened to me. I've been taking T4 for 7 years now and periods are slightly more regular, even after one child.\nGood luck and please try not to be too anxious, stress can be more of a problem.

Yes, it can take several months for your body to regulate itself once discontinuing the use of birth control pills. See, when you are using birth control pills, those pills fool your body into thinking it ovulates, but the pills prevent that. So when you stop taking them your body has to adjust to having regular cycles again without the use of synthetic hormones helping to regulate your cycles.\n\nAnd I agree with NurseAnnie. If you believe that you could be pregnant, you should visit a doctor to have yourself tested.

It shouldn't cause a problem as long as you stop taking it as soon as you find out you are pregnant.  I was a birth control accident baby and oddly enough my first son was one too.  We are both fine as far as I can tell, and when I told my OB-GYN, they weren't that concerned because I hadn't been taking the pill that long while I was pregnant.

Some negatives that can occur while taking the birth control pill would be Nausea(feeling sick to your stomach), headaches, bloating, spotting, mood swings. Risky for some women, especially smokers. Smokers have more chance of getting cancer if they take birth control pills. \nThe Pill doesn’t prevent sexually transmitted disease. \nThe Pill doesn’t always prevent pregnancy. \nIf you are too young you may be setting yourself up for acne yeast infections, which are difficult to completely cure. \nYou may gain weight - about 12 pounds. \nIt may cause cysts in the breasts and they may become tender and painful. \nBlood clots are possible. \nOther side effects include headache, irregular periods, fatigue and abdominal pain. \n and finally when you stop taking the pill it can take a few months before your period becomes regular again which makes it tough if you are trying to conceive.\nYour best bet would be to talk to your doctor to discuss the best option for you.

A lot of women use birth control for just that reason. You're going to have to talk to your doctor about this, since you're taking those medications.

the pill is very unhealthy to woman...stop taking it...if you don't want to get pregnant because you are not married don't have sex...if you are married consider natural family planning...it will help you to discover when your body is able to conceive and when it can't..(your body gives you signs)....stop hurting your body because you don't want to give birth to a beautiful baby...its not right to the child that you could have and its not right to you

Yes, the pill regulates your hormones. Now that you are off of them your hormones are freaking out and trying to regulate themselves. Don't worry, it'll pass.

I think that most of the problems are human error. If you take the pill at the wrong time in your cycle then you will be taking the sugar pills at the wrong time as well. I guess though that the body is also able to fight to reproduce, that being our basic chemical makeup. Condoms should be full proof barring any tearing of the condom.
