What are the side effects of using oral pill for contraception? |
I am newly married. I dont want any baby now. But I am concerned if I should use oral pill or other methods to avoid side effects Read this: http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/yo... (m) Most women have no side effects when taking the oral contraceptive pill, but some women do experience irregular periods, nausea, headaches, or weight change. Each type of oral contraceptive pill can affect each woman differently. Spotting between periods may occur while taking the first three weeks of hormone pills, but this is not serious. This usually occurs during the first two or three cycles. You should call your health care provider if the bleeding is heavier than a light flow or lasts more than a few days. Some women have some nausea, but this usually goes away if the pill is taken with a meal or a snack at bedtime. Sometimes a pill with less estrogen is prescribed if the nausea doesn't go away. Sometimes, women may experience headaches when they start taking oral contraceptive pills. Usually headaches occur because of stress or other reasons. If your health care provider thinks they are related to the pill, he/she may prescribe an oral contraceptive pill with a lower dose of estrogen or may sometimes take you off the oral contraceptive pill. Mood changes can occur while taking the oral contraceptive pill. Exercise and a healthy diet may help, but if they don't, you may need to get a change in the type of pill you are taking. Usually the pill helps cure acne, but a few women feel they get acne from the oral contraceptive pill. Your breasts may become tender or may get larger. Your appetite may increase, and a few teens feel bloated. Some teens gain weight, some lose weight, but most teens stay exactly the same when they are taking the oral contraceptive pill. Many times a young woman thinks she has gained 5-10 pounds, but when her weight is actually measured, there is no change. If you think you may have gained weight due to the Pill, you should see your health care provider and get your weight measured. If you do gain weight, or you want to prevent gaining weight, you should make sure that you eat a healthy diet. You should eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day and avoid fast foods. Also, get enough exercise! If these ideas don't help, talk to your health care provider. Side effects usually go away in the first three to four cycles. If you do have side effects, you should talk to your health care provider. If the side effects are really bad or if they don't go away after three cycles, your health care provider may switch you to a different pill. http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/med-use... i've used every method other then the patch, i heard the patch increase your chance of getting a stroke or something like that. out of all of the methods there are, i'd reccomend the nuva ring. you don't feel it in you, your partner will feel it, but it won't be annoying or anything. Some females have absolutely no reaction to the pill and it works great, however myself and some females I know haven't had the same blissful experience. I always felt bloated and chubby even though I'm not -( you know that feeling you get before your period), it affected my mood, made me feel a little depressed and grumpy. One important thing to remember is there are many brands and different strengths to choose from. One of my gf put on about 15kg in 9 months from the first pill she went on, but when she changed to another she lost it all and has maintained her normal weight for the last couple of years. U might need to be open to a little trial and error. All the best. |
