What to expect after going on birth control?

Question - (2 November 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 November 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I made an appointment with planned parenthood and am going on birth control. I don't know yet if it will be the shot or the pill...I'd just like a few tips (please) on what to expect. How to remember to take the pill (if that"s what I get). Side effects from the shot and pill? And this last embarassing question, will it feel good to have my boyfriend come inside me? Or not? I'd still like my bf to pull-out since I'm paranoid and he's very virile but, I so know he won't. He already joked that he'd "forget." I threatened to harm him and he said it'd be worth it *sigh*.

charliesdevil73 agony auntI've never had the shot, but I have heard bad things about it. Weight gain, spotting between periods, abnormally long periods, and the list goes on.

Now, to what I do know. The pill will affect every woman differently. And, almost every pill will affect you differently. I would recommend discussing in length with the person you will be seeing about what it is you want from your pill if you chose that route. When I am not on the pill I get horrible PMS and PMDD. On my current pill, I get barely any symptoms. But other pills have amplified my symptoms. It may take you a while to find one that works.

Ah, the finish inside! One of my favorite things about sex. I enjoy it a lot. I feel closer to my fiance when he finishes inside me. I can tell when he does, but not all women can. It is also a decision only you can make. If you are on the pill, you just need to make sure to wait a few months before letting him do that if you choose to so the pill is fully effective. If you feel uncomfortable about it still, don't let him.

tennisstar88 agony auntSide effects from the shot include:

-weight gain, although I lost weight

-no period

-a period that lasts 30 days (this is what i had)

-a period that lasts for 90 days (which the gyno said there are girls that are on it longer than that

-if you plan on having children in the future the gyno recommends you be on the shot no more the 3 years any prolong use has a chance of causing infertility

-pregnancy during the shot is unusual but can still occur, as the shot's effectiveness wears down in the third month.

-gyno will still recommend the use of condoms seeing as the shot isn't 100% effective.

Side effects of the pill:

-little to no period

-no change in period

-headaches

-nausea

-tender breasts

-weight gain (although I never had any)

-antibiotics can counteract the pill leaving you unprotected

-condom use is recommended seeing as the pill isn't 100% effective.

Keep in mind every woman's body reacts differently to contraceptives. Truthfully, I can't really feel when my husband cums in me..so if you're trying to prevent a pregnancy then I would still make your boyfriend wrap it up.

Moo's Mum agony auntI used to remember to take the pill by taking it when I brushed my teeth. That way I could never forget. Personally I never experienced any side effects from the pill and I've never had the shot so can't comment there. You need to be taking the pill for a whole 28 day cycle before you can have sex without a condom. (I hope you haven't been relying on withdrawal only as it's very very unreliable.) You are not protected from pregnancy until that first full 28 day cycle is complete and if you ever miss a pill during a cycle you should use condoms too.

It feels great when your man comes inside you very exciting!! Enjoy it. But please please sweet don't do withdrawal again it's so dicey!

Have fun!
