I dont want to sound like a jackass or anything, but why do most women (most being the ones that ive talked to on the subject taht are in HS or graduated around the 17-21 age range) not like birth control. Now it seems to me that birthcontrol isnt to bad at all, and that these women dont understand that seriousness of having a baby. Can someone pleas like to explain why someone would rather risk getting pregnant and having an unplanned baby or having an abortion, instead of takin a pill that would save you from alot of trouble.
Sorry about the length, but its a serious subject, 18-m
Well birth control can be somewat dangerous with its side effects here r some that it can cause:
Nausea is a common early negative effect of the pill, as the estrogen in the pill may irritate the stomach lining. Nausea usually goes away after three months; antacid tablets or taking the pill with dinner usually gives relief. Again, if this symptom persists, seeing a practitioner and switching to a pill with twenty micrograms of estrogen might offer relief from the nausea and decreased appetite.
Other common side effects of the pill are headaches, depression, change in intensity of sexual desire and response, vaginitis and vaginal discharge, urinary tract infection, changes in menstrual flow, breast changes, skin problems, gum inflammation, it can aggravate asthma, and increase your incidence of contracting viral illnesses. All of these are common side effects, which means not to be alarmed, but to discuss them with your practitioner to see what changes can be made to reduce the discomfort.
Any problem lasting more than two or three cycles should be reported to a health practitioner. The following are symptoms of serious problems: severe pain or swelling in the legs (thigh or calf), bad headache, dizziness, weakness, numbness, blurred vision (or loss of sight), speech problems, chest pain or shortness of breath, abdominal pain. Report these immediately; they mean you should stop taking the pill.
