Stop And Think
You need to evaluate your life and the idea of bringing another life into the world. If your having sex be responsible enough to take percautions. The pill does have side effects just like any other type of medication. There are other types over birth control that are over the counter that you and your partner can enjoy. Good luck!

Take Control
My best advice to you is schedule yourself an appointment with a doctor or even go to planned parenthood. They will give you all of the info that you need how to take your pills or even use another type of bc. I was on my pill for ten years and sure I had a few side effects starting off, but they went away and I took charge of my body and my life because I did not want to bring another life into this world being that I was not ready. If the pills are not for you, there are many options out there to prevent preganacy from occuring- just be smart with your life and your body-best of luck

first off, it's too soon to buy a test to see if you are pregnant yet; you need to wait until at least a week before the missed period, although ept may work up to 2 weeks before. However, your first priority is finding out if you're pregnant or not. You could try taking a morning after pill (whichever variety is available) but there is no guarentee it is going to work. Find out if you're pregnant!

Then, if you're not, get yourself on the pill, the patch, the shot, whatevr is best for you.

If you are pregnant... Well then you have some touch choices to make. But first, you have to find out. Unprotected sex, and the time during which you've had sex, equals a good chance of being pregnant.

Chick, the pills are not scary: abortions, adoptions, and babies are scary!!!!!!

The pills are not hard to take, and I myself have [i]never/i] had any reaction to them at all.

You need to see a doctor to get a prescription for birth control pills. There's a small range that are most often prescribed to start, which most women will tolerate well, and he/she will try you on one of those to see how you get on with them.

How the pills work is by keep your body from ovulating -- i.E. Producing eggs. They do this by fooling your body into thinking it is already pregnant, using a synthetic version of a particular hormone. When women are pregnant, they stop producing more eggs.

Taking the pills is easy: you take 21 pills, at about the same time every day. Then you either take the placebo pill, or none at at, for 7 days, during which time you would have a period -- this is not a real period, since you didn't ovulate, and is usually lighter than when you are not on the pill.

Note: would it be possible for you to write your posts in english instead of mobile-phone text mode? It is very hard to read.
