Birthcontrols: Yaz birth control side effects and switching to something else
Posted Wednesday March 7 2012, 3:12 pm
I'm 20 years old, I will be 21 in three months.
I'm currently on Yaz birth control, I've been on yaz for a little over a year now. I think that it's caused weight gain (only about 5-6lbs, but it's been hard to even try to get off, I've been changing my diet, exercising. I eat little in the first place and very healthy)
I've looked into Yaz more about side effects and I saw a lot of women under 30 (around my age actually) who have developed embolisms in their lungs and it makes really worried. I know my doctor told me with all birth controls that blood clots and weight gain are all possible side effects, but after reading everything about Yaz I really want to get off it.
The reason my doctor put ...

Are the chances low?
Posted Wednesday February 29 2012, 2:33 pm
I switched to a different birth control 2 months ago. The last 2 months my period came around the 2nd week of the pack (its supposed to come on the 4th). My doctor said that it could take 3-5 months for it to regulate itself and for my body to get used to the hormones though. I've been taking the pill at the same time every day (no more than like 10 mins from the hour). I haven't missed any pills. I've been cramping for like a week and a half now and just started the 4th week of my pack. Is this just my body getting back to when I'm supposed to get my period or pregnancy? I mean I have been taking the pill everyday at the same time but these long cramps are what's making me nervous. And if I take a pregnancy test when should I take it. Thanks.

Birth Control options
Posted Tuesday January 17 2012, 1:56 pm
I'm 20/f
And I just started having sex, but I want to be more responsible about it so I need to get on birth control.
First off: My mom CANNOT know, at all. I've heard a lot about Planned Parenthood, but I'm unsure of how things work.
1. Do they accept insurance? And if so, what kind?
2. Do they do examinations there, or do they send you to a hospital?
3. Different birth control pills? Which ones should I avoid?
Someone please explain to me how I should go about doing this. Thanks!

does switching pills affect chance of pregnancy?
Posted Monday January 9 2012, 7:34 pm
I was on lo loestrin fe for a couple months and then i switched to aviane (generic of aleese). About a month ago I switched back to lo loestrin fe and just finished the pack today. I had sex 2 days ago. I have been taking some form of birth control pill everyday (no missed days) and I finished the aviane before I switched back to lo loestrin fe. I was just wondering if this would affect my chance of a pregnancy. My doctor said my period will probably be iregular until my body gets used to the lo loestrin fe again because they are different hormones than the aviane.

Posted Friday January 6 2012, 12:45 am
I am an 18 year old female currently taking the birth control Loestrin24fe. I've been on the pill since July and have had my period regularly. Of course, as fate would have it, I will be on my period the day I return to college. I'd like to have sex with my boyfriend that day period-free, so I was considering skipping my period for that month. What are the health risks involved in this?

YAZ Lawsuit Information
Posted Thursday December 29 2011, 12:58 am
I have been taking YAZ birth control pills for a long time and I heard a commercial for a lawyer saying that YAZ has BAD side effects and can even kill you! They said if you have ever taken it to call their law firm and talk to an attorney right away because there is a "class action" lawsuit against YAZ!
I didn't get the phone number or website because I was so in shock and I haven't seen the commercial again so can anyone tell me who I should call about getting legal help? And what good is legal assistance if I am dead? Can you really die from taking birth control pills? They said blood clots and cancer and stuff. :(
I am scared! Help!

how does plan B work?
Posted Friday December 2 2011, 8:13 pm
19/f
I had sex last night and he didn't even cum but the condom broke so I took plan B today just in case (because of precum). I know the chances that I was pregnant in the first place were very slim but I just wanted to be safe. I stopped taking birth control a few months ago but I'm planning on going back on it in the next few days. My question is... let's say I have sex tonight and the condom breaks again, is my plan B still effective for today? Or would I have to take another pill tomorrow? I know the chances of this happening again are really small but I just want to be safe! Thanks!

Just stopped taking BC
Posted Wednesday November 9 2011, 5:44 pm
18/f
I've been taking birth control for about 4 years, but I just recently (last week) changed brands so I took a month off to wait to start at my next period. My boyfriend and I have had sex a few time since stopping, with and without protection. He always goes soft when he uses condoms, but if we do it without them, he pulls out. I know you can still get pregnant even if the guy pulls out; my question is, since I JUST stopped taking BC, how likely am I to get pregnant?

Depo Provera (aka "the shot)
Posted Sunday November 6 2011, 11:24 pm
I've been on Depo now for a little over a month. I'm just wondering how long most people experienced the supposed "irregular periods"? I have been on my period now for 30+ days. I feel tired and groggy. It's not just some light spotting the way my doctor told me. It's been constant flow. YUCK!
