Current Pill User Looking For Alternative Birth Control Methods
Posted Tuesday July 31 2012, 12:43 am
I am currently on a low dose birth control pill. I have a light period every month, I am happy however, I need to use an alarm to remember to take it.
I want to switch methods but I'm nervous since I haven't had any kids yet, and I know most methods are for women with children already. I also need to find an affordable method. Suggestions please with good and bad.

IUD benefits and side effects?
Posted Wednesday July 25 2012, 12:42 pm
I work in a laboratory. Here one of our great benefits is getting free health care! They are now offering the IUD to women for birth control for free. I would like to know what the good and the bad are on this? I am currently on the depo and have been for over a year, before that I took birth control pills. Any info would be great! Thanks(:

Depo-Provera Weight Gain
Posted Saturday July 14 2012, 5:22 pm
I have been on the depo shot for a year now. I heard that it can make you gain weight. I didn't have a problem for the first while. But lately I have gained a little weight, I have been eating about the same, maybe even less with my work schedule. Could anyone tell me what could cause this? My doctor recommends that I do not stay on it for longer than 2 years. Have any of you been on it for that long and had long term side effects? Thanks!

Getting on birth control
Posted Saturday July 14 2012, 2:25 am
17/f
I've had sex but now I'm planning on getting on birth control because I'd at least be responsible about it.
I don't want my parents to know.
I was thinking to call my doctors office and schedule an appointment but I have no job and I don't have a lot of money.
I live in California and I heard that planned parenthood might give you it for free. Does my normal doctor do that for you or is it only planned parenthood?
Thank you!

Does taking birth control pills effect you in the future when you want to have kids or anything?

Should I expect a period?
Posted Monday June 18 2012, 9:17 am
19/f
So long story short, my doctor was unable to renew my birth control prescription before I was supposed to start taking it again, following my period. So I was off the pill for a month. She had told me that it usually takes about 3 months of being off the pill for your hormones to regulate themselves, but I had got my period on the day I was supposed to and lasted about 6 days, which it normally does. Well I've been back on the pill now for the past 3 weeks, and I was supposed to get my period 2 days ago (I'm usually insanely regular, which is why i'm a little concerned at this point). So what I was wondering is are the chances of my period being late high because I was off the pill for a month, then started it again? Or should I...

side effects of Birth control?
Posted Saturday June 16 2012, 12:15 am
18/f I was on birth control for a year, and then in March me and my ex broke up so i decided to stop taking them. I started a new pack on the 5th day of my last period which was about a week ago, and had unprotected sex on the 4th day of the new pack, using the pull out method. Ive been feeling weird lately like randomly nauseous and hungrier than usual. Is this a side effect of the pills or a chance that i'm pregnant?

Slight confusion about the pill
Posted Friday May 11 2012, 9:38 am
Hi everybody, just a quick question about the pill;
I just finished a pack and am now on my period. My period should be over around Tuesday-Wednesday next week, however, because I have been so busy and distracted by uni, I didn't realize I have no more strips left.
The first chance I have to go to my GP to get a new prescription would be Wednesday. If I finish my period Monday or Tuesday, and only get the pills on Wednesday and take the first one form the pack that day, will it still be safe to have unprotected sex (Long term boyfriend, both tested, etc) or because I missed a day of taking the pill, should I be waiting?
I'd just like to make sure that things will be as safe as they should be on the pill.. because I know...

could i be pregnant?!
Posted Wednesday April 25 2012, 8:48 pm
18/f
I stopped taking my birth control while i was on my period, never started it again and I had sex 3 nights before the end of my period. That was 3/21 and i still havent gotten my period this month! Ive read that it could be an imbalance, like my body getting back to normal without the extra help from birth control pills, but ive also read that sperm can live in the body for up to 5-7 days. I know it sounds ridiculous, but i'm worried! help please!!

pregnancy test

I've decided to take a pregnancy test two weeks after taking the morning after pill. is the result going to be accurate or is it possible that the hormones from the morning after pill mess with it?

morning after pill side effects
Posted Monday April 23 2012, 7:58 am
i took the morning after pill (last thursday) about 32 hours after the condom broke. now (about 3 days later) i sometimes feel sharp pain in my abdomen and my nipples are tender.. is this due to the hormones of the morning after pill cause i read that it can have side effects up to a week after taking it. and i had my last period about 3 days before the condom broke so i think i wasnt fertil enough to get pregnant. so is this a normal side effect? i know its also a symptom for pregnancy but as i said i think its unlikely and i dont think i'd get these symptoms so early. my boyfriend and i had pretty .. erm rough sex as well so may that be the reason why my abdomen hurts sometimes? cause he was pretty deep... not when he came though.. the condom ripped when he pulled out.

I had unprotected sex 2 days before the end of my period on 3/17/12 & i stopped taking my birth control because i went away for 21 days and wasnt able to get them. I decided to just stop taking them, and now my period is late. Is this because i stopped taking birth control and now its irregular, or is there a chance that i could be pregnant?
