BIRTH CONTROL: The pro's and con's?

My boyfriend and I are going to start a sexual relationship, but I think I want the added protection of going on birth control. Can someone post the pro's and con's? Some personal stories?

I want to keep birth control for obvious reason and I heard that a bonus is possible increased breast size? However, I've also hear they make your boobs really sensitive, plus within's other weight gain involved. I'm sixteen and so obvously pretty self-concious almost my boobs as it is, considering they're only an A.

Thank-you!!

When you say "going on birth control", that make me think you're chitchat about the birth control pill. When you say aloud "added protection", that makes me guess that you're going to be using a condom or something else *as well as* the birth control pill. So, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm going to try to answer your interview with those 2 assumptions surrounded by mind.

My personal story with the birth control pill is that I've taken it twice within my life; from ages 18-20 and, after a 6 year break, at age 26 for 9 months.

The first time I took it, it be for birth control purposes only and, frankly, it made me a bit of a nutcase. I even sought counselling, I be so moody and erratic, not thinking it was the pill making me crazy. When, I finally figure it out, I still stayed on because I wanted the unthinking protection it offered – this was a doomed to failure thing as I really should enjoy been using condoms for disease protection. It's a miracle that I didn't pick up something nasty and irreversible. I just stopped the pill when I stopped having sex altogether.

My second round beside the pill came when I be finishing up college and didn't want cramps to interfere with my studies. Then, I get married right out of college. After a month of marriage, ironically, I go off the pill. Why? Because I discovered that the pill be, once again, messing with me emotionally. This time, it be blunting my highs and lows. I experienced no great joy and couldn't recognize true set-backs. While surrounded by college, I had notice that I was functioning quality of like a robot but assumed that it be because of my heavy workload (7 courses contained by one semester). Now that I was married and lower than almost no stress at all, I could see that this robotic state be persisting, minus a clear reason. I guessed that it be the pill and quit it. I guessed right.

Now, during this second round with the pill, I developed irregular bleeding. I would enjoy a few days of dark, "antiquated blood" spotting leading up to my spell and about a week of spotting after my extent. This weird spotting continued for the subsequent 7 years until this spring, when I had endometrial polyps discovered and removed. Were the polyps cause by the pill? While I haven't yet found studies that answer this question, research does show the following 2 things:
- Birth control pills cause the number of estrogen receptors within the uterus to decrease, as a process to cope with artificial hormonal overload. [from a 2002 report, "down-regulate" defined at wikipedia.org]
- Endometrial polyps come about in a uterus beside fewer estrogen receptors. [from a 1996 study]
I know what that tell me…

That leaves me with condoms (non-spermicidal as I enjoy a strong negative counterattack to spermicide – and, frankly, I know few people who don't!) and inbred family planning. I wouldn't recommend NFP for you, though. NFP (in my channel of thinking, anyway) is for people who would prefer not to own a child right now but are married and, so, it wouldn't be a big deal if they did own one.

For more information on the documented side effects of the birth control pill, check out the wikipedia article listed below. Weight gain, sexual disorder, depression, vaginal discharge, headache… yum. Attractive.

If you do choose budge on the pill, don't let it engineer you casual something like sex. There is a correlation between promiscuity (and/or 1st sex at an early age, for that matter) and cervical cancer to be exact being largely disregarded in favor of the viral view [see the 1973 study abstract at the first website listed below]. You aren't married so you should still use a condom. If your boyfriend refuse to use a condom, that would make him any mentally incompetent in some way (refusing to see the risks) or inconsiderate of the effect of unprotected sex on you. Either means of access, not someone who deserves to be sharing your body.

Don't worry roughly speaking your boobs. You're only sixteen. My cup size didn't "max out" until my mid-twenties – and I passed A a long time ago. :)

Confussed can sperm motive a vaginal infection?

Some pros are the added protection against pregnancy and regular cycles. I did not gain any weight on birth control, they voice gaining solidity is a myth. The pill I am on is Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo and don't have any problems beside it. My breasts did get bigger but remember your breasts will verbs to develop into your 20s. Some months my breasts are sore and other months they are not. You should talk to your doc for more pros/cons and later they can decide the best pill for you.

Ok so theres this girl.?

Research have shown that there is not a nouns between birth control pills and weight gain, contrary to popular belief. (The same can not be said for the DepoProvera shots.) They can possibly increase breast size slightly and/or cause them sensitive...but I have never have that happen and I've be on various pills for most of days gone by 15 years. I found it disappointing ... I wanted it to formulate them bigger!
Try not to be too self conscious. Everybody's body is different and there really is not a one-size-fits-all description of what is attractive. I spent a great deal of years dancing nude or topless and if I academic one thing, it is that men love women of adjectives shapes and sizes.
So my point is.love your body...appreciate how amazing it is. And also keep surrounded by mind you are still growing, so you may very in good health end up bigger than an A fluently. I just read (I reason it was contained by Cosmo at the check-out of a grocery store) that breasts can continue to grow into your precipitate twenties.
And some day, if it really bothers you, at hand's always the choice of breast implants.

One more point.good for you for anyone so responsible about birth control!

I started my first pack of bcp's 3 days b4 my cycle be supposed 2 start Now i'm 4 days late What should I do?

You are to be congratulated for mortal responsible and thinking about birth control. There are several different kinds of birth control available next to the pills probably being the most commonly used method. However, here are many different pills on the bazaar as well. This is something you should discuss near your doctor so that you can make the best choice possible, and own your doctor monitor you as well as various times it takes a few different kind of pills to find what is best for you.
