Birth Control.....please don't judge?

There is always a slim chance you could get pregnant but because you normally are regular and you did double up today I think you should be fine.  If you are extremely worried stop by the pharamcy tomorrow and pick up the morning after pill.

I had the heavy bleeding while on the depo shot, which I was not supposed to get. Apparently the nuva-ring just isn't agreeing with you. Different forms of birth control work better on different people.

I got one about 2 years ago, and it was an awesome decision on my end. I had been taking birth control for years, paying all types of money for it every month and always switching brands.  Since I got this, I do not know it is even there and even my health has gotten a little better. There is a little cramping at first, but it is worth it. Just uncomfortable. You don't get your periods that much and eventually kinda just go away!! I would defintely recommend this. Plus, when you are ready to have kids, you just go back to the doctor and get it removed. Good Luck!!\n\nTake some tylenol before you go to get it in though!! Just a heads up!

The shot!!!  I love the shot!  I only have to remember it every three months and after a year I was period and cramp free!!  It is extremely effective!  I can not take hormone based birth control so this really was the only option other than condoms.  Since my fiance does not like to wear condoms, this was my only option.  I was in your boat once upon a time.  My older is son is going to be 3 in March and my younger son is going to be 2 in June!

Yes, unwanted pregnancies will decrease dramatically. Abortion is almost the preferred method of birth control these days. Women should be more responsible for their actions. After all, it's not just their life they're deciding about.

Never.  \n\nIt would all depend on your morals, if you morals say birth control is bad, then I suppose it is.  However, I think having a child that you don't want is far more immoral personally.

When I was on the pill, I had missed quite a few myself, and I had to take double doses, and I never got pregnant.  I'm sure it is possible, but in my opinion, it is highly unlikely.  Everyone forgets to take it on time all the time.  I believe you are still protected, but don't forget, even on the pill, you are never 100% protected.  The only way to totally be protected is to abstain from sex altogether.  Good luck.

There's a book called the Art of Natural Family Planning.  I think that's what it is called.  But it teaches how to tell when a woman is ovulating from taking her temperature, and other signs to look for to know the fertile times. It's a great method.  I did not enjoy the pill.  I was moody all the time and I didn't know what was going on with my body. This other method is great.  I know what is going on in my body.  There's more control.  Don't do anything permanent.  SOmeday you might want kids.

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!

No, sorry, sweetie.  I work in family planning and have read tons and tons of articles and research about this.  It doesn't promote unprotected sex, even for those in a long-term relationship, monogamous relationship when someone could argue ec could be used as birth control.  I'm attaching an article.  I don't know why I keep reading the answers on your question...it's making me spaz out.  EC is the best thing that's happened in family planning in decades.

You are being paranoid...used properly, they are both effective for birth control.

There is a birth control injection that you can get where you only have a periond a few times a year. Some people can tolerate it, some cant. But it does work. Ask your gyn about it.

i got on birth control but not because i was having sex...because i actually wasent. i got on it for different reasons. Choose the best one that is right for you. i chose seasonale and i lOVE it! you get 4 periods a year, and its very natural. if you want help you can go to your nearest planned parenthood

I used it and I loved it! It was so easy to use and I had none of the usual period side effects. No breast tenderness, no cramps, no back ache etc. I also had much shorter and lighter periods. My only complaint, and I guess this could be said for all birth control since it regulates your hormone levels, is that my sex drive was pretty much destroyed. My friend uses it also and has the same complaint. Good luck!

I've been on the pill for years without taking a break. Why would you want to take a break?? Anyway, it's not caused me any problems.

Hi, I have MVP as well, and I too took the pill and found no risk what so ever.  Btw, you'll outgrow that MVP, in a few years, I'm sure of it.

I thought the little blue pill was supposed to bring you out of the Matrix and back into reality... either that, or really good birth control!\n\nI think you actually need the chartreuse pill if you want to be weaned off of Yahoo! Answers... *wink*
