not a lot really. they take your blood pressure. they do ask for your reasons for wantin to go on it. like contraception, or for regulating periods, or for skin. I said everything! They just check your health history and things to make sure you're fit to go on it. Then they will explain how it all works etc to you.\nIt's nothing to worry about.

Im not sure what the end of this question was but if you were curious about when you can start birth control you can start as soon as your period starts again regularly or when the blleding from the injection stops then go to the doctor take a pregnancy test if no baby start birth control if you were worried about when to have sex again whenever you are ready

As redunicorn says, this is a question for your GP. \nBut I am wondering, even if you did get an answer and someone tells you which drug works for them, how do you think you could use that information? All these drugs are prescription drugs!

WELL...do I have a lot to say about this!\nWhen I got to college, I decided to get on birth control because I was sexually active.  I originally started on Depo Provera.  I went through three shots, then stopped them because I was concerned about the severe cramping and spotting I was having.  When I stopped taking them, I had a period for a straight month and then very irregular menstruation for a year thereafter.  :(  \n\nThen, a year later, when I was on serious boyfriend #2, I decided to go on the pill.  I kept forgetting them at inconvenient times - rushed trips across the state because of a relative in the hospital, etc.  This was not effective at all.  Plus, I had the worst loss of libido ever.  I was pretty moody.  My boyfriend said that it was how the BC worked...he couldn't get any!!   And I was rather disappointed about how the Pill *didn't* clear up my monthly acne breakouts.\n\nThen, I decided to go on the Ortho Evra patch.  I loved it...until I had a blood clot.  I had throbbing pain in my right arm one night for hours, then my whole right side went numb for a couple of days.  It passed, but I was advised not to go on hormonal BC for another year. \n\nI was recently cleared to take the progesterone-only pills (like Depo, but no shot), but my now-husband and I decided it wasn't worth the risk to my health.  Now, we always use condoms and we're very careful close to my fertile time...\n\nI think that only your doctor and you can really go through the pros and cons of hormonal BC.  Sometimes a woman's body chemistry handles the hormones differently.  Monitor your symptoms after going on the BC and then keep in touch with your MD.

Allow me to give you also my opinion to this, as a woman and as a pharmacist. \nSupposing that you can do it, why should you go against Nature?\nI want to describe you my personal experience.\nSome women come in my pharmacy asking for this because they want to go swimming or because they are athletes and they have to participate to a competition.\nIn the first case, it is out of my logic to give medicines for this.Then, they are POM(prescription only medicines).\nIn the second case, they should have the presription of their doctor, so things are different. \nI don't know if I was clear and if my answer was of help.\n(Notice something else:these pills I refer to, don't anticipate;they are intended to delay)\n\nKaterina

You really ought to be asking a doctor this question...like yesterday...

i think you need to go back on the pill if your still active, but either way you need to use a condom, and most of all go to your doc, becuase each case is different, teehee

a current edition of "The Pill Book" or a current PDR (physicians Desk Referance) are quite handy. There are online pill checkers too. but they are hard to find and I lost the link.. if I find it again I'll post it in the comments

What you should do is:\n see the pill count on the bottle/package\nhow many are you to take a day\n How many days have you been on it\nhow many pills are left.\n\nif you did take an extra one, don't worry its not going to do anything.

Definatly we can be trusted to take it, why? because well... if a guy is even considering taking those pills he obviously does not want a child. And therefore could be trusted to take the pills (now there are two types of trust i suppose, the first is that I think it is safe to assume a guy won't INTENTIONALLY not take the pills in order to get a lady pregnant).  Now can he be trusted to remember to take the pill? well i would say probably, it depends on the guy, I know that if I was not ready to have a child and was having unprotected sex i would remember to take the damn pill.  However that could just be me.

Birth control pills affect every woman differently, and they can be tricky at first to  take. In order for them to be the MOST effective, you need to take them at the same time everyday, and don't miss any days. You usually have to try 3 or more to find the right dosage and hormone match for you. \n\nHowever, there are more options to birth control than just the pill. I'm sure you've heard of most of these, but here is a short list to refresh your memory so you can ask your gyno about them:\n* the patch (I love it)\n* the Nuva-Ring\n*diaphragm\n*depo-provera injection (once every 12 weeks)       \n*IUD \n*condoms\n*female condoms\n*spermacide\n*and a few other things that are not so popular \n\nThe best thing to do really is to chat with a gyno that you are comfortable with and let her give you her top choices for options. \n\nKudos to you for being responsible for your sexual health!!

Um, what kind of pill?

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.

We have asked my doctor for it several times and his explanation of why we don't want it convinces us it is dangerous.\n\nI did get some free samples from another doctor and took one pill but my heart acted up so bad from it I threw them out. That is bad stuff.

Please ask your doctor.

Girl, it's best to ask your doctor this question assuming he/she is the one who prescribed it for you.
