There can be many reasons why you would want to get birth control, and usually that is something that you would keep to yourself instead of telling others. Some of the reasons that you might feel like getting birth control is that you have a new boyfriend and you two are getting intimate and you do not want to get pregnant especially in the beginning of the relationship. You can also decide to get birth control because you do not want to get pregnant right now.
Another reason that you might want to get birth control is to help regulate your periods. If you are not on a regular cycle your doctor will tell you that if you take birth control, it’s very day to day related, that your periods will become more regulated.
Most birth control that you can get these days is little pills that you will have to take every day by mouth. It is more effective if you take it at the same time every day. These pills are 99.9% effective at preventing pregnancy. You will also be able to know the exact days that your period will come.
Some of the side effects of birth control can include things like weight gain, nausea, sore or swollen breasts, a small amount of blood or spotting in between your periods, another symptom can be having lighter periods, and even changes in your moods. The following symptoms that you can get from birth control can be remembered by the acronym ACHES. The ad in aches stands for abdominal pain, the c stands for chest pain, the h stands for headaches (severe), eye problems (blurry vision), and the s stands for swelling legs and thighs.
If you do not want to get pregnant but are unsure how you would go about getting birth control. If you have a gynecologist then this would be the first place that you would go if you want to get birth control. They will write you a prescription for several months to a year of birth control. This is an easy way for you to get birth control if you have insurance, and are able to set up an appointment. If you are unable to do that or if you don’t have insurance then you can always go to Planned Parenthood. They will give you information on birth control, and even give you birth control themselves. You will also be given some extra birth control, such as condoms and the like.
Birth control is a way of you is ready and prepared. If you do not use birth control of any kind and you are having sex there is a pretty great chance that you will get pregnant.
