I think the reason for the spotting was because I started in the middle of the cycle and didnt take the week off. I think if I started on the first day of my period like I was supposed to, and didnt take the week off, I would have been ok. But thats just what I think.
I started with the Pill called Yasmin, and other than that first month, I did not ever have any problems with it. I would actually know which day and which hour my period was going to come!! But after a few months, my doctor changed me to a pill called Loestrin, and with that, I used to get spotting every month. So it really depends on how your body reacts to the pill you are taking. And every person reacts differently to every pill.
exactly. i was on Yasmin for 4 years and i never had any issues with it.
Tell your husband to use some rubbers. Seriously, men should learn to use them rather than burdening their wives with the sole responsibility of birth control.
Before starting birth controle pills u need to see a doctor who will check which pill is suitable for u. there are two types progestron only and progestron+estrogen mixed.
you have to take a pill for 7 straight days for it to start working (called the 7 days rules,there more to it).
you cant have or need to be careful with estrogen pills if u have a faimly history of breast cancer.
all these pills can cause spotting, irregular cycles , so its wise to start it 2-3 months in advance so you can adjust to it and see which one suits to better as each women reacts diffrently to them.
these pills are natural hormones.
advantage of combine pill is that it can make your periods regular,less heavy and less painful,it helps with acne/skin conditions.
There are over 40+ options for BC pills. Not all BC are created equal. Some have more progesterone, estrogen or testosterone.
Based on your gyno health, you need to choose the one that works well with you. People with PCOS need to consider ones tailored for them and their symptoms.
Although they are not natural, women have been taking BC for a long time and they are effective. They also let woman take care of Birth Control as they should because they are the one that is impacted if something doesn't work.
I found it less invasive than a IUD, or patch, once I found the RIGHT one. So talk to your GYN and tell them your concerns BEFORE. Don't just take the one that they prescribe and think that is your only option.
