No! They are actually a good thing, but if your using these for other than regulationg your period or controlling acne than please be sure to use a condom every time! The blood clots and stroke really apply to women over 30 and those who smoke. But also make sure you take them everyday or they are not gonna be effective. If your the type to forget than I would talk to your doctor about the depo. shot that way your good for 6 months!
Ok I'm a mom of 3 and so iv spent allot of time with doc's and to tell you the truth no! They can help lower your chance's of Brest cancer, help get you on a 28day cycle, it can lower cyst's. And make it so you don't have kids when you don't want them! HOWEVER staying on the pill for to long can make it so when you want kids its hard to get prego. And a long time being 1 year or more. So what I was told is stay on the pill for 1 year then go of for 2 to 3 months and do that all over. So your body can get the hormones out of your body
The pill in general is not bad for you. It can increase your risk of blood clots and heart attacks but if you don't smoke you should be fine. The pill can even be good for you. It can keep your cycle regular and decrease your risk of ovarian cancer.
No? they take away your acne and at first you can get minor headakes bu nothing major. BUT, if you smoke you have a higher chance of Cancer. thats the bad thing, if you smoke.
I used to be on them. I only stopped because I get terrible migraine headaches from the hormones. I still get them off the pill but not as frequently. I think at your age it is better to be on them than not, epecially if you are sexually active. I will do the mom thing now and tell you no matter if you are on the pill or not - use a condom! Even if your guy is trustworthy, it is possible that he may have been with someone before you that he has no idea was not honest wih him about herself. My ultimate mom recommendation is don't have sex right now. Whatever you decide, just be careful.
sometimes if you take tomany they are and you have an allergic reaction or have a severe side effect so it depends on if your cared of that or not weather they should be used
