Hi!! :d .. It's my first time here.. I'm 25 yrs. Old, working and happy with my status now. Hope you could help me with my question.. Is it safe to take birth pills when you haven't given birth yet.. What would be the side effects of birth pills when I continue taking it. I actually, tried to take birth pills once coz i'm i'm not ready to be pregnant. But my sister said I should stop it coz I might not have a baby when i'm ready to have one.. Is taking birth pills not good for us single ladies?

Thank you so much.. :d

I haven't had kids yet, and I've just started taking Yaz. I have heard that some women have a hard time getting back on a regular cycle again after coming off the pill, but it is the side effects that worry me the most. I know many people who were on the pill and did not have problems with their fertility when discontinuing use.

there are many types of pills to choose from...some prevent ovulation while some make the uteral wall less habitable while others do both...the pill is one of the most effective ways to prevent pregnancy when taken properly...ask your doctor about the different types and how they work and decide from there...the pill alters your hormone levels which in turn regulates ovulation and uteral lining...usually once you stop taking the pill your system will readjust your hormone levels to normal and you will be able to conceive as long as the rest of you has no other problems and/or your partner has no problems...you may want to inquire about iuds as well...
