advice

Hi, my bf and i are planning to have sex and we are both very cautions about our decision and hence decided to take this safely. I wanted to know:
1) which birth pills should i take - the best quality ones?
2) How often should i take the birth pills?
3) Do birth pills affect the periods?
4) Is it safe - are there any side affects?

Any information on the birth control pills would be great!
Thx

1) the type of birth control pill depends on how your body reacts to the drug. I know that when i get my period, I am very moody and break out with acne.. so my doctor prescribed me a birth control brand specifically for that :) Ask your doctor and they should ask you some questions and they will prescribe you the right kind for your body.

2) Depends on what type of birth control you have. For the pill.. most of them you have to take every day. Other forms of birth control is the depo shot which is a shot (is painful) and protects you for 5 or 10 years i think. There's the patch, which you have to wear and change it every week.

3) Yes birth control pills affect your period. In my opinion, it affects it in a positive way. I noticed that my period was a lot lighter, I had less symptoms of PMS, and now I know the exact day I'm getting my period :)

4) yes it is safe.. but not 100%. there are always side effects.. it does not protect you against pregnancy 100% which is why most people use condoms too. If birth control wasn't "safe" they wouldn't be available to us today.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask me or your doctor :)
