bad to drink on birth control?

if you drink enough to throw up or have diarrhea it can force the hormones in your pill to be flushed through your body too quickly before they are fully absorbed...keep the drinking in moderation.

You can drink ANYTHING your heart desires! BUT.. and i repeat BUT, DO NOT... drink while taking your pain killers!!!!! That could be suicidal, if you do. Your asking for trouble, if you drink alcohol while taking (ANY) your pain meds! SO DONT.... do both!!!!!!

I do not know why, but maybe our approach to it.  I took soy pills, and drank soy milk, but not every day.  Also I was not dreading it, like many women I know, so it might be mental.  I was really looking forward to not having to carry a suitcase of pads and tampons, and having cramps, and PMS every month, and not worrying about birth control.  Maybe just thinking life after menopause would be better made it easier, a mental thing.  I maybe had one hot flash, and none of the other bad things.  Also my mom did not have a bad one, so maybe it might be genetic too.

Birth control pills slightly increase the chances of breast cancer, especially if you have it in your family history.  But my doctor still wanted me to stay on it because it can decrease the chances for cervical and ovarian cancer up to 50%.

Don't believe everything you hear, this is just not possible, green tea is even good for your health and has nothing to do with birth control pills..☺

it's really bad, why would you want to do it anyways?\n\nSmoking cigarettes while taking birth control pills dramatically increases risks of heart attack for women over 35. Smoking is far more dangerous to a woman's health than taking birth control pills, but the combination of oral contraceptive pill use and smoking has a greater effect on heart attack risk than the simple addition of the two factors. Smoking cigarettes while taking birth control pills increases a woman's risk of having an ischemic stroke (three times more likely in pill users than in nonusers) or a hemorrhagic stroke (three to four times that of nonusers), according to a large World Health Organization (WHO) study.

The short answer is not really.  There are associated risks with being on birth control, including increased risk for breast cancer and pulmonary problems if you smoke (really important if you are over 35).  As fas as being able to have children later on, some women experience problems coming off the pill and trying to get pregnant, some get pregnant right away.  It just depends on your body.  There are tons of benefits to birth control, they usually outweigh the possible complications.  If you are worried about specific concerns, discuss them with your doctor.  It is so important to keep open lines of communication with your doctor, they need the details to properly treat you.

The pill.Possible Side Effects\nThe birth control pill is a safe and effective method of birth control. Most young women who take the Pill have none to very few side effects. However, the side effects that some women do have while on the Pill include:\n\nirregular menstrual bleeding \nnausea, weight gain, headaches, dizziness, and breast tenderness \nmood changes \nblood clots (rare in women under 35 who do not smoke) \nSome of these side effects improve over the first 3 months on the Pill. When a girl has side effects, a doctor will sometimes prescribe a different brand of the Pill.\n\nThe Pill also has some side effects that most young women are happy about. It usually makes periods much lighter, reduces cramps, and is often prescribed for women who have menstrual problems. Taking the Pill often improves acne, and some doctors prescribe it for this purpose. Birth control pills have also been found to protect against some forms of breast disease, anemia, ovarian cysts, and uterine cancer.\nDepo provera\nSide effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Depo-Provera.\n\nBy far, the most common side effect of Depo-Provera is unpredictable menstrual bleeding. In fact, most women have some change in their menstrual pattern. For example, when first taking Depo-Provera, it is common to have spotting between menstrual periods, or an increase or decrease in the amount of bleeding when menstrual periods occur. With continued use, many women stop having their menstrual periods altogether.\n\nBy 12 months (or four injections), 55 percent of women report not having periods, and by 24 months, 68 percent no longer have periods. Going without a menstrual period is not an indication that something is wrong, however.\n\n\nMore common side effects may include: \nAbdominal pain or discomfort, dizziness, headache, nervousness, unpredictable menstrual bleeding, weakness or fatigue, weight gain or loss \n\n\nLess common side effects may include: \nAcne, backache, bloating, breast pain, swelling, or tenderness, decreased sex drive, depression, fluid retention, hair loss, hot flashes, inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, inability to have an orgasm, joint pain, lack of hair growth, leg cramps, nausea, pain in the pelvic area, rash, vaginal discharge or irritation, vaginal inflammation \n\n\nRare side effects may include: \nAllergic reactions (sometimes severe), anemia, asthma, bleeding from the rectum or nipples, blood clots, blood clots in the lungs, blood disorders, breast cancer, breast lumps, cancer in the neck of the uterus, changes in appetite, change in breast size, chest pain, chills, convulsions, difficult or labored breathing, drowsiness, dry skin, excessive growth of hair, excessive or unusual flow of milk, excessive sweating and body odor, excessive thirst, facial paralysis, fainting, feeling of being pregnant, fever, hoarseness, increased sex drive, infections of the reproductive and urinary tracts, lack of return to fertility, overgrowth of the uterus, pain at the injection site, pain during sexual intercourse, painful menstruation, paralysis, prevention of the flow of milk, rapid heartbeat, skin discoloration, stomach and intestinal problems, swelling in the armpit, thinning of bones, tingling or ``pins and needles'', toughening or hardening of the skin, unexpected pregnancy, vaginal cysts, varicose veins, yellow eyes and skin \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should be okay if you've been taking it consistantly. You took it as soon as you remembered. If you don't get your period this month, take a pregnancy test anyways. Birth control does NOT harm early pregnancy or cause abortions so, if you do find yourself pregnant and do decide to continue the pregnancy you do not have to worry about taking the pills without knowing you were pregnant. Also, if you find yourself continuing to forget your pill, perhaps because of your busy schedule. You should see your doctor about other forms of hormonal birth contorl such as the Ortho-evra patch, the Nuva Ring or the Depo-provera shot. Good luck!
