Vasectomy - When is it safe for a woman to stop taking her birth control pills?
919967
A vasectomy has about a 99.9% effectiveness rate... meaning that, out of 1000 couples who use it as their only birth control, one will get pregnant after a year.  Usually, if the vasectomy is going to fail, it will happen in the first four months.\n\nSince his semen analysis came back negative, you are good to go.  If you are really concerned about failure, you can give it some more time and have another semen analysis done, but the odds are frankly tiny.

Research is currently being done on this subject. Tests so far have actually been very successful. When tested, sperm counts had dropped to zero, with no noticable side effects. When taken off the pill, sperm counts returned to normal within 16 weeks. It won't be FDA approved for at least a few more years.

Your cycle gets messed up whenever you go on or off birth control.  It can take weeks to months for things to stabilize, especially if you've been on it for a long time.  Be patient.

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.

okay the whole birth control is wrong argument is lame. It is like saying, dont wear a seatbelt its stupid, if you dont want to die, dont drive, god will decide if you are to die. Anyway, I use several birth control methods, hormonal, spermicide and a good old condom. I use the nuva ring, which is great because it is inserted into the vagina and releases a constant stream of hormones for 3 weeks until you take it out. It is nice because with the pill, it has to be taken at the same time daily in order to maintain consistant coverage. I also use the vaginal foam, which helps kill the spem in case of accidental condom breakage. But no method is 100% If you are having sex there is always the risk of becoming pregnant.\n\nAnd FYI, birth control doesnt KILL a fertilized baby, it prevents the act of fertilization from occuring by having hormones that dont allow for a "fertilizable egg" to be produced, or preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg by either killing them with spermicide or blocking them from coming into contact with an egg.\n\nHonestly, are some of you for real?!?!?!?

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

I'm assuming you ruled out pregnancy. Assuming that, you should know that it's not unusual for a woman to have her cycles stop temporarily after going off the Pill. It's nothing to worry about but you should check with your doctor. He/She can give you a hormone shot that will bring the periods on, but depending on your particular situation, he might encourage you to wait it out for about a year to see if the periods restart on their own.

The birth control pill regulates hormones. They might stop the periods or at least make them irregular enough to help you survive through the rest of the year.

Indeed she can. \n\n"The "pull-out method" --which is called "withdrawal" or "coitus interruptus"-- is not a good mode of birth control. There is a high risk of pregnancy, since a man may unknowingly release quantities of sperm inside the vagina before his orgasm (from the Cowper's Glands)."\n\nPlease view my source for some solid information.

it can take up to 6 months to a year for it to completely be out of your system, this is definately normal, some women don't have a period for months after stopping the pill and others have it right when they should. every woman is different, just give it some time and your period should return to normal.

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.

Birth control pills is good also to prevent the formations of cyst in the oavrian and to shrink them too, because of a condition known as Policysit Ovariun.\nI don't know from where he and you got the information that birth control is responsable for 70% of defective baby !!!!!\nWhat is really going on between the two of you is he wants to get you pregnent, so if you don't want this be careful.\nHe seems to be a very controled person that wants things done by his wishes and not being resonable on listening to you and respecting your opinion and choices....the wosre is him frating to leave you if you don't do what he wants....Well, today is the birth control, tomorrow he will frat  to leave you again if you don't do what he wants...If you really want to make your point about birth control, get an appointment with your gynecologist and ask him to come with you, there, with a specialist he won't be able to use this ridiculous argument, than I can bet, he will say something Iike I don't care what doctors say or you stop with the pill or I leave you.\nThe thing isn't about the sides effects of brith control pill but is him to get what he wants without being honest with you and tell you his real reasons....perharps if he tells he will feel obligated to you and he doesn't that.\nI would leave him, not only for the frat which is inmature, ignorant and selfish, but for the fact of him being a person whom don't value your opinion and don't give you the right of make your own choices and decisions. \nI hope you don't get upset with what I just told you, but I have good intentions on trying to give you a good advice.

Once your period has started, I don't think there is a way of stopping it. If you are already on the pill, depending on the pill, and you don't wish to have your period, you just continue taking the pill, instead of stopping for a week or taking the placebos during that pauze. Your period will only appear after stopping or taking the placebos. It is not recommendable to continue taking the pill for a large amount of time.

If you are taking a 21 day birth control pill, do not stop for 7 days, but start a fresh pack.  If you are taking a 28 day pill, the last 7 days are inactive pills; take the first 21 days, discard the last 7 and start a fresh pack.  \n\nHowever, you can only do this with monphasic birth control pills (ie: pills that have the same dosage daily).

yep. birth control throws off the menstral cycle and it can be irregular for several months.
