Birth Control Questions...
I'm really looking into birth control because of my period. I have periods that are 2 weeks long, stop for 3 days, afterwards continue for another week. Then I'll have a 2 month break, and merely have a period for 3 days. The irregularity bothers me, but to produce it even worse, I have to change my wad every hour. Not kidding! I can't even wear tampons because I bleed through even the Super ones in partly an hour.
I have to wear 2 overnight pads at once, lay them so they cover almost all the way up to my lower abs, and adjectives the way up to where my ... uh, crack ends (couldn't expect of another way to say it).
My mom is conspicuously ready to put me on birth control. So am I. Anything that could help me is a godsend.
But are in attendance any long-term effects of using birth control as a teen? Like, issues with pregnancy (I do want to have kids subsequent in life) cancer, etc, etc?
I want to end the misery, but not if it's going to mete out even more down the road.
Please, I need helpful, matured answers!
Answers: I've used the pill for 25 years for very similar problems.
The pill can help considerably. The pill is as a common rule, very safe and efficient, but it may take some trial and error to find a pill that works well for you.
There is a marginally raise risk of breast cancer over the long-term, but you are also less likely to capture ovarian cancer, uterine fibroids, and endometrial cancer. As long as you go for your annual check ups and do personal breast exams monthly you should be fine. Future fertility is not going to be effected by using artificial hormones presently.
But you should also try to find a cause, because your irregularity problems now WILL impact your adjectives ability to have babies.

i have heard this question past and is ok, i'm glad you planning to stay safe and abstinence but do not use BIRTH CONTROL because you own bad periods it is not ok to do it. you should basically deal with it or ask the doctor for a prescription but not for birth control give somebody a lift ibuprofen . sorry i couldn't answer your question but birth control is not a pain murderer for periods. we know is really painful have periods but is just moral fibre You have to look at your family medical history. If you own a history of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease then you probably shouldn't be on the pill. I own a history of heart disease in my family but I go on birth control anyway. I developed very high blood pressure and be in hypertension. My body was also retaining marine. As soon as I went off the pill I be back to normal. If you would really similar to to make an informed decision, you should pocket your family medical history to a good doctor and discuss it beside them. Good luck!.
Periods that heavy are not normal, see a gynecologist. The pill will be one preference for you. There are side effects, so be aware of that, its best to discuss all options beside a doctor you can trust. I started taking the pill because I was fixing to get married and required to wait a while before kiddo's - but to be pretty honest - I did have "Heavy" period's before I started birth control. After "CONSULTING" my OB/GYN she put me on the birth control that be good for me, and I actually notice a huge difference in my periods. I be regulated. I knew exactly when I was going to start my time of year - && my periods were not as strapping.
I would recommend asking your gynecologist if he/she thinks birth control is good for you.
As far as long-term effects - You should be okay as far as anyone able to have children..I did..3 years ago..So it isn't going to stop you from have children.:) As far as cancer - I haven't heard that /or heard of that arranged..:)
Just check you Family History - for high blood pressure, heart problems, etc. But your gynecologist will go through adjectives of that with you...:)
Hope this was nifty!.
Whoa you poor thing. Birth control would definitely abet control the regularity of your period and also make the length shorten. Have you gone the the feminine doctor for an examination to make sure within aren't having any other problems, that could possible be more serious. Birth control can cause blood clots, especially if you smoke. If taken as prescribed at hand shouldn't be any long term effects when trying to get pregnant down the road. I would consult a gynecologist and own an exam before I would start taking birth control. Good luck and hope you start feeling better!! :-)
