BC and Sex
17/f. I recently started having sex with my boyfriend with condoms, and we decided I should go on birth control. I got it from my local Planned Parenthood and realized it was making me moody and crazy. This could have just been my body getting used to it, but I decided to stop taking it after a week and a half. I still have two packs left that I could use if I want, but I'm afraid of getting moody again.
Should I continue to just use condoms? Is it safe enough, or should I take the pills just incase, even though they might change my personality a little bit?

Birth control can have a lot of bad side effects. When i first started taking it i got really emotional and moody and i gained weight. It is just because your body isnt used to all of those hormones, and you will get used to it. But this is completly up to you. Give it about a month and your body should go back to normal. But dont keep taking the bc and then getting off it messes with your body really bad. Hope i helped =]

I take birth control pills it does make you moody at the first two months . Listen just take the pill and always you a condom because birth control prevents being pregnet only 75 % and use a condom to prevent any std's or sti's and If you get really moody tell your boyfriend that the pills give you mood swings so he has a clue why you act different .

Research the pills you are on and see if this is common for the first few weeks or month or so, or ask to go on a different kind. Generic brands tend to do weird things as well.

You should still use the birth control. The moodiness can wear off within a few days/weeks. If not, take it back and try a different kind that will suit you more. I had to get a different type of birth control because I didn't like the side effects I was getting with the first kind.
Yes, condoms can be safe when used correctly, but they can tear. Birth control is more effective.
Hope I helped

If I were you, I would give the birth control another run. Wait a few weeks to let your body get adjusted to it. If the moodiness continues, you can try to go back and get a different type of birth control that might be more compatible with you.
Condoms are supposed to be 98% effective when used correctly. But they do have the risk of tearing. Birth control is much more effective.
