I have taken orthotrycyclen for 6 years and haven't really had any bad side effects with it. It hasn't caused weight gain and only caused mild nausea for the 1st few days when I started taking it. \n\nThe good side effects that I have had with it though are that I haven't gotten pregnant, my periods are regular now  and it helped clear up my skin.\n\nThe only problems that I ever have with birth control is if I miss a day and double up the next day I get severe nausea in the morning.

Get a v*brator... and save yourself from the "real thing" at least for now. You shouldn't have sex if you dont have more than 1 way to protect yourself. Are you on birth control? If you aren't... you better hope you have good luck, because you will end up pregnant. It isn't worth it, plus that "silver bullet" can do alot more than that eighth grade "horn dog".

types of birth control and your chances of getting pregnant\n\n-no birth control(85%)\n\n-spermicides alone(26%) spermicide usualy looks like a small pill, but its a substance that when put into your vagina will melt and become effective\n\n-periodic abstinance(25%) this is when you count the days between your periods and find out which ones youre not fertil on\n\n-withdrawl(19%) this is when the man pulls out right before he goes\n\n-cervical cap w/ spermicide(20-40%) this is a small rubber thing that looks like a cap that you fill with spermicide and place into your vagina\n\n-vaginal sponge(20-40%) this is a sponge you place into your vagina that is supposed to catch the sperm once it has entered\n\n-diphragm w/ spermicide(20%) much like the cap\n\n-condom alone (male)(14%) the rubber condom a man wears\n\n-condom alone (female)(21%) this condom goes into a girl rather than onto a guy\n\n-oral contaceptives(5%) this is the pill, you will usually take one a day, or with some new ones, one a week\n\n-IUD(less than 1-2%) this is something your gyno will have to place inside of you\n\n-injection(less than 1%) a shot you give yourself, usually once every 3 months\n\n-sterallization(less than 1%) a medical procedure that makes you infertil...this is permanent\n\n-nuvaring(1-2%) this is a small vaginal ring that you place into your vagina once a month and it releases hormones the way the pill would\n\nbut, no form of birth control can prevent STD...condoms do help so ALWAYS wear one unless youve both been tested, but know that they still can be obtained if a condom is being used.  also, if you are planning on getting on birth control talk to you gynocologist and ask him/her which one is best for you!

unfortunetly i totally disagre on birth control all together i was avid on using it for years and when i was 24 i had a stroke from birth control it a very abnormal thing to do to your body so if you must use something try a diaphram and a condom for extra protestion if that doesnt work for you or just not comfortable talk to your doctor about a very very very low dose pill you can take all in all just dont use the stuff its not safe for anyone

I lost like 15 pounds because of the Birth control pill. I know that sounds GREAT but not in my case because now I am too skinny, so right now I'm trying to gain the pounds back. I know most women gain weight instead of losing. I'm going to my GYN to change my pills in two weeks. Enjoy it if is working the way you wanted to!

Yes,a lot of women have diferent side effects when they are on Birth Control pills.\nSome have them starting up,others during and still others, like you,have them when they stop.\nIf you want to be on BC,you need to have one that suits you,and you should be consistent with it,to avoid confusing your body and also to  cut down the risk of unwanted pregnancy.\nYou will feel okay within the next 24 hours as your body begins to re-establish its own diurnal rythm.\nDrink lots of water,eat some fruit.

thats so not good, why would you do that? im sorry i just had to ask i think you defientley need to speak with whichever kind of doctor gave you those pills and they should have went over how to take them with you more thorougly. taking for at one time can be very damaging towards your body and mess you period up for a while. i think you need to get on the phone with them and find out what to do its there job to tell you how to use them, and your job to read the instructions. k-t and im sorry they went very thorough but atleast now you know

I've heard that you should really use a alternative method of birth control until you start your next birth control cycle.  The effectiveness of the pills is a trickle-down cycle.  You get the most drugs out of the pill in the beginning and less and less as your cycle goes on.\nAntibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the pill and you won't build up your "protection" again until you start your next pill cycle.\nUse a condom just to be safe.

I take Marvelon. I was using another brand before but, switched. I've been on 'the pill' for over a year. I have not become pregnant and I do use it as my only form of birth control unless I've been on antibiotics. \n\nIf you are worried about the effectiveness of the pill, talk to your girlfriend, research and use condoms if you are still worried. There's nothing wrong with that. Good luck!

Well, thats weird.  My doctor told me to take my pill starting on the day i start my period.  Go to your doctor and just ask him to explain it again to you and make sure you clearly understand.  Dont have sex if you are not sure you're taking it right!

That's what I was told as well. however I was taking it to regulate my periods. If that's the case for you, then you can be a more flexible with when you want to take the pill. If you are doing it mainly for contraceptive reasons, it would probably be best if you took it at the same time everyday, if not around the same time everyday. Hope this helped!

I would defiantly go to the gynecologist! They will probably put you birth control pills to regulate your menstrual cycle. Hope this helps!

Definitely the pill...Orthocycline. Its also great for regulating your periods.\nIf its a new relationship I suggest starting w/a condom + the pill.

Easier and discrete ways of getting birth control!  If you could go to your local drug store and pick up some birth control and not get a look or a lecture about it.  So its as easy as buying a box of Kleanex then hey you pritty much wouldnt have to worry about it anymore!

Get on the pill. You are supposed to start way beforehand, but a week is long enough if you have a backup method for a while. It won't hurt your chances of conceiving later, either and it has lots of benefits.
