how do you decide which one is the right one? m currently on YAZ (USA ka brand)
but have concerns how do u decide on what BCP is right for you does taking BCPs affect ur fertility like when i stop taking them and want to have a baby will it be difficult cuz i had been on BCPs? m all confused
r BCPs even healthy? what other choice do i have if not the BCP?
Re: birth control pills
u can try the copper coil which is non hormonal, it lasts up2 8 yrs, side effects are back ache mood swings n depnds on each individual or theres the Mirena coil which will stop ur periods can b frm 1 year to 3 or 5 i think u can get a 10 yr one too but nt sure side effects i dunno :)
apart frm that u can ask him to use protection
hope that helped :D
Re: birth control pills
thank you...anyone else got any insight to share as well?
Re: birth control pills
i was on that one too and it worked really well for me- no side effects other than my skin looked amazing!
you can use condoms, you can get an IUD, you can even have little chips implanted into your upper arm like norplant, which release hormones monthly and are valid for 2 years at a time.
most bcp's are perfectly safe with only a few people experiencing side effects but if you feel anything, talk to your doctor and perhaps you can try a different brand other than Yaz/Yasmin.
and no, bcp's do NOT affect your fertility. this is a huge myth. ovulation determines pregnancy- if you have issues with fertility, you've probably always had them, regardless of whether you took bcp's or not.
Re: birth control pills
^^ thanks SGC at least m not afraid of BCPs anymore...and yea YAZ is working well for me too...but the problem is that lawsuit they are facing and how some women have had heart attacks and strokes and some even died sudden deaths wehile they were on it....so i may try different brands :)
thanks for addressing my fear about fertility n BCPs
