GIRLS! Does anyone recommend birth control?

Im 19, my boyfriend keeps naggin me to go on bc, but im simply curious are there any bad side effects anyones have? and did anyone gain weight? Overall would you say the moral out does the bad? thanks!

Answers:    I'm 19 as ably, and I just started Yaz birth control, and right now it sucks for me, because i enjoy been on my period for nearly a month now. But everyone says thats regular, and that my period could be irregular for the first three months, and I have have some cravings, but instead of pigging out, I eat alot of fruit between meals, so I can prevent counterweight gain. I also hear it will really help my skin and cramping. So i can't wait til adjectives of this crap passes, but everyones body is different. Everyone reacts different near the hormones..
When I was 15 I got on the Depo Shot. It's pretty cool because you single have to do it once every 3 months, so there's no forgetting to take a pill. Also, you don't enjoy periods after a few months on it. Down side: weight gain, more than adjectives other methods. I gained about 10 pounds. After getting stale of that (insurance reasons), I was put on the patch. It's pretty cool because you only own to remember once a week. No weight gain or any other negative side effects except I hold VERY sensitive skin, so it gave me bad rash. Finally, I gave in and get on the pill. I have been on Ortho Novum for over a year. I enjoy one script from my doctor and one from planned parenthood, so I never do the week rotten. I don't have periods, no counterweight gain, no PMS, acne is better. It's great. Although I am taking it in a way to be precise not recommended, it's not unhealthy. It's newly like seasonale (3 months with no week off), it's even indistinguishable hormone dose. I am an Organic Chemistry Ph.D. student, so don't worry, I know exactly how it works in the body and it is totally sheltered if you're an otherwise healthy female. Good luck! no you do not gain counterbalance you remain normal but may get headache, nausea, tender breasts, mood swings.

but once you take it you have to filch it every day at the same time you took the other ones also it doesn't become fully affective till 3 months.

also your boyfriend shouldn't be nagging you, don't help yourself to it until you want to and are ready. :).
some bc pills can make you gain mass, but only for certain population. also only some types make you gain freight. ask your doctor which one is best recommended for you. their may be some side effects, but they vary from the different brand names. bar that, it makes everything a lot easier and also safer sex. apt luck! I never had any of the possible side-effects, but it did help me gain wieght (this be good because i was underweight) but it also help lighten my mood, for the most part lol. so yea for me the pill be worth it!.
Last night, I took my 2nd pill.
I have a headache, and have a feeling really nauseated.
Apparently these symptoms will go away.
I have 3 friends who are on BC and resembling it.
I'm not so sure yet though.
