My period stopped coming about 2 months ago, and I am not taking seasonale or even skipping through the 4th week of the regular packs. I am just taking regular packs. I have taken 3 different pregnancy tests in the past 3 months, and they all came up negative. Is this normal for some birth control pills?Can the monthly birth control pills stop your period all together?
Yep. I was on Loestrin 24 and my period disappeared. I did a pregnancy test (negative) and called my doctor after the 2nd month. They said that some pills work so well with your body to prevent ovulation and control your hormones that there is no bleeding during the 4th week. I would call your doctor to make sure but they told me that it was nothing to be worried about and a normal side effect that can happen. I went about 6 months with no period before I changed pills for a different reason.Can the monthly birth control pills stop your period all together?
it can happen that your period stops when you are on the pill. you should be fine. every woman reacts differently to the pill. if you are really worried then go and see your gyno and ask her about it.
How long have you been on the pill?
It will affect different people in different ways. my period is different every month. It has varied from (mildly) heavy to none at all.

What two body systems control the reflex action?
I know it is the nerveous system but what is the other one?What two body systems control the reflex action?
ummm.. i think only the nervous sys.What two body systems control the reflex action?
A reflex action is involuntary and almost instant movement in response to stimulus.[1] In most contexts, especially involving humans, a reflex action is mediated via the reflex arc (although this is not always true in other animals, or in more casual usage of the term 'reflex'.)
nerves and muscles.
the brain is not involved, most reflex arcs occur in the spine. The brain is only aware of the involuntry reflex after it has happened.
it cant be the endocrine system - imagine if you stood on a pin, and it took a week for the message to get to your brain!
a great example of a reflex arc is the cross extensor reflex. you stand on a pin, and the other leg will extend to take the weight off the foot with the pin in it. all of the communication happens in the bottom end of the spine, as it is quicker than to send the message to the brain and wait for a response
hope this helps!
Um, it's jut the nervous system as far as I know.
A reflex is simply a signal triggered by, say, a muscle which passes through a nerve, hits the spine and instead of going up to the brain travels back to the muscle thus triggering a quicker response.
The nervous system and the muscular system the nervous system because the message has to travel throught the nerves to the muscles and the muscular system because you have to move a muscle to have a reflex.short hair cut

How did Portugal gain control of Brazil in the 17th Century?
If you can answer that question that would be a lot of help,
thanks!How did Portugal gain control of Brazil in the 17th Century?
It was a trading nation and it explored Africa, India, China and the Philippines, Their colonies, Brazil among them, were everywhere. They landed in Brazil in 1500, not in the 17th century.

What kind of birth control for breastfeeding moms?
I am nursing a 5 month old, and will be for at least another 7 months. What kind of birth control is safe to use while I am breastfeeding. I am not interested in condoms, diaphrams, or VCF. Thanks!What kind of birth control for breastfeeding moms?
Well the best answer to this question is condoms. But since you dont prefer condoms, you should talk to your physician about proper birth control methods. I am a nursing student about to take my boards and I dont believe that I' ve learned of any birth control that a nursing mother should use other than condoms.If I had to take a guess, it would be progesterone only pills.What kind of birth control for breastfeeding moms?
Don't count on breastfeeding alone to prevent pregnancy. But, a combination of breastfeeding and the rhythm method might be what you're looking for.
The ';mini-pill,'; progestin only, is given to breastfeeding moms. It's the kind of pill you have to take at the same time every day; a couple of hours late severely affects its usefulness.
I got a Copper-T IUD, and I'm very happy with it. No hormones, no fuss, no remembering to put it in. Lasts 10 years. (The hormone based ones last 1 year.) But a lot of insurance plans don't cover it; the device costs about $400. (Four hundred for 10 years' protection is a pretty good price.)
FAM, the Fertility Awareness Method, is also usable, but it requires that you pay a lot of attention to your body, and keep very good records.
In view of the options you've eliminated, the only safe method I can think of still remaining is ...abstinence! Good Luck! Debbi
Breast feeding itself is said to be a good birth control measure.

How important is the control arm to a car and how much is a fair price for the part and/or installation?
I have 95 civic and the control arm is pretty well rusted but only recently a mechancic told me i should change it and it was never mentioned beforeHow important is the control arm to a car and how much is a fair price for the part and/or installation?
Unless the control arm is integral with the lower ball joint and the lower ball joint is bad or there is a MASSIVE corrosion problem that has all but rusted the arm off of the car paint it if it bothers your mechanic. Or have someone you trust recomend a second mechanic to you to look and make sure!How important is the control arm to a car and how much is a fair price for the part and/or installation?
Hm mm I tend to wonder if the mechanic is being honest bec why wasn't it mentioned before. Plus their metal and will rust that doesn't mean their bad or worn out either. If it was bad it be bent or have play in the ends. Therefore if i was you for sure id have another mechanic look at it . Some shops will check it for free so why not phone around and see who offers a free front end inspection. Plus i might get another mechanic besides that to indeed double check .
Again i find it funny that rust would be mentioned , unless its roded right out. Plus if that part was gone you'd notice play in the front end , especially when crossing uneven terrain.
Roughly that part would be about 150.00 to 200.00 and the labour shouldn't really take longer then an hr to do but most shops would want 2 to 2.5 hrs labour to do it bec they go by book values.So i suggest you really phone around check even do it yourself auto wreckers bec you can get them cheap and still in good shape too. I always look for shops that will allow you to bring your own parts bec they usually are much more fair mechanics and cheaper. So if you got a used part it be about 40 or 50 bucks , 200 plus tax tops to install but if new you'd be looking at 400 or so.
It is very important though I would take it to a Honda dealer to ask if it needs replacing, they are the guys that would know.
This does not mean you have to use them to replace it and don't let them badger you in to booking it in. A good mechanic will have a quick look and give you a honest answer.
I agree with; *iller Pumpkin? A trusted Honda Dealer would be even better.

How long does it take to be hired for air traffic control?
im 24, enlisting in the air force for atc which is a 6 year commitment. I heard the faa doesnt hire after 31, which is cutting it close. Is this rule set in stone, or just a guideline? Also id like to hear from atc'ers on the reality of life in this profession. I know its a high stress job..ive heard working conditions arent great and employees arent treated well..please elaborateHow long does it take to be hired for air traffic control?
As a former military controller, you are not subject to the age limitation. You will note that this job announcement makes no mention of age:
http://jobs.faa.gov/asap_detail.asp?vac_鈥?/a>
Unlike this announcement for CTI hires (works the same for off the street hires) which specifies the %26lt;31 limit:
http://jobs.faa.gov/asap_detail.asp?vac_鈥?/a>How long does it take to be hired for air traffic control?
it depends on how motivated you are at becoming a controler. tech school is about 18 weeks then after that its up to you and your trainer wherever you get stationed. depending on where you go the hours might suck or they might be nice, i got stationed where the tower is only open for about 12 hours a day (a training base) so i only work a 7 hour shift, which isnt bad. overall i guess in an average amount of time it should only take you about 10-13 months including tech school.
They make exceptions for women and minorities, as well as x military with ATC experience. You can also go to work for contract towers and such, instead of the FAA. Lockhell Martian is trying to obtain tower and center contracts, because they've done so well fukking up flight service, and knowing how our federal gubment works, I'm sure they'll get the contract.
Go do your Air Force thing and don't worry about the age thing. you're a chick, so you're golden. My wife was in AFSS 15 years, so I know the scoop.
P.S..the word ';wash out'; was used by a poster..well in the FAA the word ';grievence'; takes care of that.
It is a set in stone rule, however I believe the transition from Air Force to FAA is a quick one, you shouldn't have a problem. Although I went to school with a lot of controllers, I'm not one of them, so I can't speak to the working conditions.
I started my Air Traffic Control career with the air force and it was one of the best decisions of my life. When I enlisted in 2002 you had the option to only sign for four years which is what I did. The changed the rule a couple of years later because it takes some people almost two years before they get qualified and the Air Force was not getting enough of a return from the amount of time necessary it takes to train and the retainability of a four year enlistie. So they changed it to six years.
Yes you can get hired with the FAA if you are older then 31 as long as you are coming from the military and you have prior ATC experience. I don't remember the name of the rule but you can still get hired.
I am not going to lie to you it is going to be really difficult. After basic training you will go to Biloxi Mississippi for your tech-school training which is about six months. You will think that this is hard but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Just stick with it and study hard. Once you get your first base assignment after you graduate then your actual training will begin. Then you become an Air Traffic Control apprentice AKA a 3-level. You are going to hate life as a 3-level. You will learn what that means pretty quickly. It is when you are in training and you are pretty much worthless to your facility because you are not qualified to work in position by yourself and you have to be monitored my a qualified controller. You will get treated like garbage but if you are sharp, have a good attitude, and good at ATC then hopefully in a year or less you will get your qualification. I can't stress attitude enough. I have seen too many people get washed out who could do the job but had poor attitudes. ATC is as much a elite club, as a job. Once you get your qualification then you will officially be an Air Traffic Controller and you will be able to work in position by yourself. This means that your facility that you work in has deemed that you are safe enough to work under pressure and that you can get the job done. This is when you will fine tune your skills that you learned when you were in training. Then you will become a trainer and train others. To this point will be about two years down the line.
Right now I am a contractor in Afghanistan working at Kandahar International Airport. I have been here about a year and I will be heading back to the states to work for the FAA in Southern CA. I decided to become a contractor because of the pay cut that the FAA put on new controllers. I was just going to wait them out but I am ready to head back to the states. I have already turned down two jobs with the FAA but now I am going to go with them. If I can give you any advice it would be for the long term. Get your CTO (control tower operator license.) Meaning get qualified in a tower. I am a RADAR controller and i did not have the time to finish my qualifications for the tower before I got out of the AF. For contracting purposes when you get out there are contract towers all over the US and throughout the world but very few contract RADAR facilities. The only way to get a CTO is through the Air Force, FAA and I have also heard that there is a CTI school in Pennsylvania that offers a CTO but there is a three year waiting list.
I know that I am throwing a lot of information at you but get used to it. ATC is not an easy career choice. You should believe the roomers of what people say about it. If you go into it with that mind frame then you should be fine and hopefully not have too many surprises. Just do your best and work hard because if you don't... Then you will get washed out. There are a lot of people floating around the Air Force who are ATC washouts. I don't want to scare you but this is not a career for everybody.
Good luck and I hope for you the best! E mail me if you have any other questions.
I knew an ex military ATCer that started the AF about your age. He cut it close to the 31 year age rule, but got hired 3 months shy of his 31st. Some of the others are talking about the military hiring program. Yes it is much faster than CTI (if you consider time in school) and far faster than off the street, however just being military ATC doesn't wave the age restriction. I work with an ex AF controller who can't get the waiver at 44.
I found this.

How do I get my puppy's biting and nipping under control?
I've tried everything I know how to get him not to bite or nip. Hes teething and he would rather chew on us than his teether toys. When we try to play all he wants to do it mouth my hand. I don't believe in physical punishment. I need to teach him that bitng it not okay.How do I get my puppy's biting and nipping under control?
Good for you, physical punishment is not the way to go. When your pup bites/nips right then say ouch, like you mean it and immediently, right that second, turn away from him. Do not talk to or look at him for a few minutes. Be consistant, do it every time, have other people that he has contact with do the same. Soon he will learn that biting/nipping is unacceptable. This is why pups should stay together as a family unit with mom till they are about three months old, they learn this from each other. One pup bites another to hard and the bitten pup yelps and walks away. That way they learn not to bite too hard.How do I get my puppy's biting and nipping under control?
I made a huge mistake in thinking that when my little Alfie was 7 weeks it was adorable and it didn't hurt! Well when his teeth actually come through it tore my hand to shreds, often drawing blood, Obviously, it was my own fault as i had taught him it was acceptable behaviour. Now i say ';NO'; in a stern voice and walk out the room. BITING= END OF FUSS/PLAYTIME. When you come back into the room, dont fuss him, ignore him to give him time to calm down and then pick him up when he's not paying you any attention. You are establishing yourself as leader then too.
I took my dog to puppy classes to teach him basic obedience and I found that when he is in a biting mood i turn to spending 5-10mins training him as this kind of distracts him. You can get treats that have like a mint filling in them too, I Got Alfie's from Pets At Home. The filling helps numb the gums so there should be no need to chew.
Hope this helps in some way, every dog is different and we only learn through experience. Good Luck! x
Try this, when he starts to bite you blow on his face and say ';stop'; or clap your hands and in a firm voice say ';NO, or Stop';. If that doesn't work, try getting a spray bottle filled with water and spray him when he gets overly playful and bites. Also give him one of his toys right after so that he can chew on that, and not your hand.
Don't hit him in the butt with a rolled up newspaper or slap his butt. I have read several articles on puppy chewing (I'm getting my first purebred Siberian husky puppy!) I have read many times you should take your hand and do a light nip at the scruff of their neck. Make sure the toys you have are small enough for a puppy to chew on. You can take a sock and tie it in a not and freeze it for a slightly bigger dog or take a baby chew toy and freeze it. Don't hurt the dog or deprive it of food that is very bad. Just let it know it's wrong by a little shake at the scruff of the neck that is what dogs do in the wild and to a puppy you are just another one in the pack. I am dominate over my dogs because I do the nothing in life is free tactic. When they are older teach your dog a simple trick (sit, shake, and lie down) and before they eat make them do a trick. Always eat first the leader of the pack always eats first. To let them go outside make them do a trick. The pack leader always leaves the home first. Never let the dog on furniture it makes them think they are equal to you. Always be at a higher place than your dog ( if they are on the floor then you should be in a chair). There are many tricks to see if your dog is about to let go of it's dominance these are called calming signs. Excessive yawning or the licking of lips is a calming sign. If your dog begins to sniff the area around him he is sending a calming sign. If your dogs eyes are dilated then your dog is very confident and is feeling dominate over you! Don't let that happen. Being dominate does not mean you beat your dog into submission. In fact the dog does not want to be dominate there is a lot of pressure on the pack leader to lead the pack.
DO NOT SPRAY HIM! It will make him fear water. We are having the same problem with our puppy and our vet told us to go to walmart and get one of those clicking things that people use to train their dogs and when she starts to bite us click it. After clicking it say NO! it has been working really good for us. The click is just to get her attention. You can also try yelping when he bites you that is how dogs tell other dogs that it hurts. He doesn't realize that he is biting you hard enough to hurt you. So you can yelp and tell him NO!. The yelping did not work for us and that is why we are doing the clicker. We bought it at walmart for $3. It is blue and has a yellow button on it that when you press it, it makes a clicking noise. Good luck!
Over-act!
When he nips you, yell out or say ';ow!'; loudly, the dog will learn that what he does is bad, and will stop!!
But never do what the first poster said.... my old dog used to be hit with a rolled up newspaper when she was a puppy (not by us!) and for the rest of her life she was terrified of newspapers.
During teething stage hand over a hard-wood or plastic piece to ur puppy. It is common in children also. It may be due to vitamin deficiency. Dump with more vitalized food.
Have you bought him a bone or a pig ear because those taste really good for dogs and they allow them to have something to chew on.
Hope I helped!!
When he bites or nips, tell him in a firm voice ';No!'; if you keep it up, the nipping/biting should stop.
rolled up newspaper. just a little pat on the butt when he bites. only way.

Don't hit him in the butt with a rolled up newspaper or slap his butt. I have read several articles on puppy chewing (I'm getting my first purebred Siberian husky puppy!) I have read many times you should take your hand and do a light nip at the scruff of their neck. Make sure the toys you have are small enough for a puppy to chew on. You can take a sock and tie it in a not and freeze it for a slightly bigger dog or take a baby chew toy and freeze it. Don't hurt the dog or deprive it of food that is very bad. Just let it know it's wrong by a little shake at the scruff of the neck that is what dogs do in the wild and to a puppy you are just another one in the pack. I am dominate over my dogs because I do the nothing in life is free tactic. When they are older teach your dog a simple trick (sit, shake, and lie down) and before they eat make them do a trick. Always eat first the leader of the pack always eats first. To let them go outside make them do a trick. The pack leader always leaves the home first. Never let the dog on furniture it makes them think they are equal to you. Always be at a higher place than your dog ( if they are on the floor then you should be in a chair). There are many tricks to see if your dog is about to let go of it's dominance these are called calming signs. Excessive yawning or the licking of lips is a calming sign. If your dog begins to sniff the area around him he is sending a calming sign. If your dogs eyes are dilated then your dog is very confident and is feeling dominate over you! Don't let that happen. Being dominate does not mean you beat your dog into submission. In fact the dog does not want to be dominate there is a lot of pressure on the pack leader to lead the pack.
DO NOT SPRAY HIM! It will make him fear water. We are having the same problem with our puppy and our vet told us to go to walmart and get one of those clicking things that people use to train their dogs and when she starts to bite us click it. After clicking it say NO! it has been working really good for us. The click is just to get her attention. You can also try yelping when he bites you that is how dogs tell other dogs that it hurts. He doesn't realize that he is biting you hard enough to hurt you. So you can yelp and tell him NO!. The yelping did not work for us and that is why we are doing the clicker. We bought it at walmart for $3. It is blue and has a yellow button on it that when you press it, it makes a clicking noise. Good luck!
Over-act!
When he nips you, yell out or say ';ow!'; loudly, the dog will learn that what he does is bad, and will stop!!
But never do what the first poster said.... my old dog used to be hit with a rolled up newspaper when she was a puppy (not by us!) and for the rest of her life she was terrified of newspapers.
During teething stage hand over a hard-wood or plastic piece to ur puppy. It is common in children also. It may be due to vitamin deficiency. Dump with more vitalized food.
Have you bought him a bone or a pig ear because those taste really good for dogs and they allow them to have something to chew on.
Hope I helped!!
When he bites or nips, tell him in a firm voice ';No!'; if you keep it up, the nipping/biting should stop.
rolled up newspaper. just a little pat on the butt when he bites. only way.
How can we make beneficial use of marble slurry to prevent and control the pollution created by it?
We all know about the bad effect marble slurry leaves on the environment around us.If people know about its beneficial uses there will be no slurry left to seep-in and get mixed with the ground water or get spread in the atmosphere by winds.Let us learn from the learned about it .Then we will educate people and make this world a much better place to live in.How can we make beneficial use of marble slurry to prevent and control the pollution created by it?
Marble slurry contains Calcium Carbonate and it is alkaline. Being alkaline it can be used for neutralizing the acidic solution. Wherever there is a acid slurry going to the waterway we can use this to neutralize it. May be we can filter it and the solids can be recycled to make cement. There should be several uses of it but it may be un economical now to do it, due to the easily availability of marble and the cost of it.How can we make beneficial use of marble slurry to prevent and control the pollution created by it?
It can be use for making moulded statues and white wash.
Are there any coal mines near you? The marble slurry would be useful for neutralizing the acid mine drainage.short hair cut

Is it safe to skip a period by skipping the inactive birth control pills?
I'm supposed to start taking my inactive birth control pills tomorrow which will be the beginning of my period. Is it safe to go straight into another pack of active pills without having my period?Is it safe to skip a period by skipping the inactive birth control pills?
You really shouldn't do that. I did it once and it took forever to get back on track again. It is healthy to have a period as it cleans out your uterus.Is it safe to skip a period by skipping the inactive birth control pills?
Yes you can, you may get your period for a day, why not ask you doctor for seasoel, you only get you period 4e times a year.
YEAP!!!! That's fine. I used to do it when I had a special occasion coming up - or through summer so I could go swimming ect. My doctor use to say it was safe to do it up to 3 times in a row, but not to make it common practise because that's not what the pill is for and if it is done frequently (skipping inactive pills) it may make it difficult to become pregnant later on down the track!!!!
Goodluck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not much help, but it does depend on if you are on Monophasic or Triphasic pills. It is definitely safe, but the directions on how to do it depends upon which type of pill you are on.
It is safe. My Dr. has said it's o.k. to do every once in awhile, Like if you are going on vacation etc. Just don't go too long, unless your Dr. says you can. I do know people who never take the inactive pills, but it's by Dr. orders.
Yes it is safe, i know some doctors that allow their patients to do this.. you can go for 3 months like this but then allow your body to have its period.. I also heard that during that week of your period, its very painful and heavy, so make sre you are ready for your worst periods ever!!!
No.
The cycle is constructed to allow your natural hormonal levels to rise and fall which still blocking conception.
By skipping a period, you are not allow some hormones to ebb and you are allowing others to peak for too long. If you took it this way (NOT as directed) over a period of time, you could potentially raise your risk of breast and other cancers which are hormone-related.
There is an oral contraceptive which does allow you to have fewer menstrual periods a year. It is configured and dosed a bit differently. Ask your doctor if you can switch to that.
In the meantime- taker your prescription as directed. If you read the package insert, it will tell you more clearly WHY you are supposed to take it the way they tell you.
first of all why would you take INactive birth congtrol pills cause thats like pill adiction right there

What would a credit control job involve?
I've seen one advertised and wondered what is involved in credit control. This is for a small business. Is it to do with invoicing customers and chasing up invoices etc?
Thanks.What would a credit control job involve?
its making sure the invoices that have been sent out get paid - lots of talking on phones and chasing up queriesWhat would a credit control job involve?
it means determining how much credit you should give a customer based on their size and how quikcly they pay their invoices. i suppose you would need to make sure they pay on time, send reminders, try to make the payment terms as low as possible so your company gets their money quicker
You main work is to manage that credits given to customers are paid when they are due for payment. Things to do with debt collection.

What are the birth control laws in maryland?
What are the birth control laws in maryland? Is parental consent required for an underage female to get birth control in the state of maryland?If so, what is the age where parental consent is no longer required?What are the birth control laws in maryland?
The best place to answer these questions and get the help you need is Planned Parenthood.What are the birth control laws in maryland?
I think they are pretty wacky in Maryland.
I am positive that the school nurse can not give a child an aspirin for a headache, but I believe the nurse at one time could assist, or arrange for an underage schoolgirl under the age of 18 to obtain birth control without informing the parents.
How do you like that, you can't get an aspirin but how about some birth control? Your parents need not know.

How long does it take for the effects of a birth control pill to leave your system?
My husband and I want to start a family sometime in the next year or two. I have been on the pill for 10 years. I have been told by a few people that the effects of the pill takes a long time to leave a woman's system before she can conceive. My brother said a friend of his took 4 years to be able to have kids, and she was on the pill for several years.
I have thought of taking a non chemical means of birth control, such as contraceptive ring until we are ready. But when I confront my doctor, he says I have nothing to worry about, that the pill is fine. A big part of me is screaming at me to get off the pill.
Any thoughts?How long does it take for the effects of a birth control pill to leave your system?
My doctor told me that you want to wait 3 months after you stopped taking the pill before you start to try. I never heard of someone having to wait four years, maybe that person just wasn't ovulating correctlyHow long does it take for the effects of a birth control pill to leave your system?
I was told by my gyn that if one is consistent with takin the pill for many years, it can take upto a year to have it completely out of your system.
I think it took me about 6 months after I got off of the pill to get preg.
Your body is telling you to get off of the pill? I'd listen to it. Not just for a baby but for medical reasons. Your body knows more than you do.
I was on the pill for 6 years, I was off for 10 months before I got pregnant. And me and hubby ';practiced'; a lot!! LOL And I just got pregnant in October!!! Good luck!! It will all work out!!!
You are most likely not going to have too much problem (assuming you're under 35) getting back to normal within 3-6 months. This is the average.
However, if you're thinking of changing BC to something non-chemical, abandon the idea of the Nuva ring. That method is still chemical contraceptive - its just chemicals embedded in a plastic ring which is inserted into your vagina rather than absorbed through your bloodstream.
If you're looking for a decent non-hormonal method of BC till you're ready, consider using Lea's Shield. It a barrier method that fits inside the vagina. See the link below.
As an aside, when I went off the pill, it took me only 2 months to get pregnant, and I'd been on the pill for 5 years continuously.
A contraceptive ring still has hormones, so that's not a solution.
The pill has left your system after three months. That doesn't mean it's still effective up til that time: there are plenty of ';mom went off the pill last week and now she's pregnant'; babies out there. That's just how long it takes between your last pill and any detectable synthetic hormone to be left in your body. It's not generally believed that the residuum of the pill in your body will hurt any potential babies... but if you are a paranoid type, a barrier birth control method for a few months between going off the pill and ';trying'; might be good.
It sounds like your brother's friend may have diminished fertility, but it's not the pill's fault. It must have annoyed her to have wasted all that birth control!
it just depends on your body.. some women get pregnant right away and others it make take a little longer.

What kind of birth control is best for breastfeeding?
I am meeting with my obgyn next week to discuss my options. I have read that they recommend barrier only forms of birth control. I do not trust that method. I was using that method before and was told i couldn't conceive by my doctor and I still ended up pregnant.
I read that they recommend the mini pill or IUD? I have never tried those.
I really am afraid of how it would effect my ability to breastfeed.
If you breastfeed what form of birth control do you use and do you like it?What kind of birth control is best for breastfeeding?
Basically you can use anything BUT hormonal methods with estrogen. So no regular pills or patches or rings. But anything else is fine, and which one is 'best' depends on your preferences.
Barrier methods are a good option. If you are uncertain about the effectiveness, you can combine them. (Condom + foam or diaphragm is extremely effective. Vaginal spermicides alone are not so good.)
An IUD is good if you're wanting a long term method -- very effective, nothing to think about, but quite costly if you're planning on another baby within a year or two.
The mini-pill is good -- but does require that you take it at the same time each day -- less room for error than the combined pill. Even a few hours delay can result in ovulation. Other progestin only methods (Depo, Implanon) are also worth considering if you're worried about being unable to take the pill at the same time each day.
Finally, if you'll be breastfeeding exclusively, LAM (Lactational Amenhorrhea Method) is a good option -- 99% effective for the first 6 months or until you get a period or start supplementing (small amounts of solid foods at around 6 months are fine), whichever comes first. Once you are no longer eligible for the method, there is Natural Family Planning, or you could move on to any of the above-mentioned methods.
(I used condoms while nursing.)
EDIT: If you are in a commited, monogomous relationship, IUDs are very safe. Most of the 'horror stories' are from older types that have been off the market for decades.What kind of birth control is best for breastfeeding?
well the IUD has had many horror stories behind it.
My doctor told me she does not recommend the IUD because if something was to go wrong, I may loose the ability to get pregnant again and I am young so she does not want that to happen.
I use the mini pill and a condom.
I take the mini pill on time every day and I am not pregnant. I started it at 6 weeks pp.
my ob put me on the depo provera shot (once every 3 mo) when my little girl was 4 wks. he assured me that it would not affect my ability to breast feed. dont rely on the bf as ur contraception. i had already gotten my period back by time she was 6 wks as did my mom when she had me. you never know when your cycle will resume.
Even though the mini pill is fine for most some women do have supply issues. I love the paraguard iud because it has no hormones, but also the most reliable. The mini pill isn't as reliable especially if your baby sleeps through the night.
If you absolutely can't get pregnant, use the minipill plus a barrier method. I don't know much about the IUD immediately after pregnancy, but my Mom and sister have had that for years and are happy about it.
if you're breastfeeding you can't use anything with hormones in it i was told by my gyno that the IUD is the best method if you don't want to think about it (like with condoms or a diaphram)

What type of birth control pills make your boobs get bigger?
should i ask for the ones with estrogen?What type of birth control pills make your boobs get bigger?
Most birth control pills have estrogen. Only one form does not, and it's called the ';mini-pill,'; usually only offered to breastfeeding women, or women with untolerable side effects on normal pills, since it's slightly less effective.
There aren't any that will make your boobs bigger. The only thing that will definitely make them bigger is unprotected sex, but then that goes along with that inconvenient baby thing.
You should not take 2 per day. Although it is safe, it will not make your boobs any bigger, so it's just a waste to take 2 per day. It doesn't make them any more effective.What type of birth control pills make your boobs get bigger?
PILLEEEEESSSE
I guess you threw your common sense out the window.
I will not answer the ';boobs'; question.
With regards to the amount you should be taking, why go against what the directions says? No, you should not be taking birth control twice daily, it should only be once daily.
Are you serious? This is why parents need to talk to their children about contraceptives.short hair cut

I forgot what they are called but its a little tube that doctors put in a girls arm and it acts as birth control for 3-5 years.
What are they called and how effective are they?What are those birth control things called that girls put in their arm?
Norplant I think. They're just as affective as any other birth control which I think is about 99.9%

What age do you have to be in California to take birth control pills?
I'm 15. I'm not planning on having sex or anything, but I just HATE having a period. I have the absolute worst cramps out of all of the females in my family, and I despise how it keeps me from doing things I love.
Also, if I decide to get off the pill as an adult, will it be harder to become pregnant?What age do you have to be in California to take birth control pills?
You can be any age, as long as you have a period.
Birth control pills don't affect your future fertility.
As far as modifying your period the way you want it - I don't know if your wishes will be necessarly granted, but this is something to be discussed with your doctor.
Is it cramps that bother you or the period itself? If it's cramps then I understand, sorry. If it's just the period itself that holds you from doing the things you love you should just get used to it rather than messing with your hormones. I felt the way you did when I was 15, but when I was 20 I got used to having a period and it no longer stopped me from doing things I loved.What age do you have to be in California to take birth control pills?
you can start it at any age as long as you have your period. and i understand where you are with hating the whole period thing cuz cramps kept me from going to school and stuff. but just remember that the pill does not stop your period it just makes it shorter and sometimes lighter and gets rid of cramps pretty much all together or at least it did for me. and no it wont make it harder for you to become pregnant. your cycle maybe off for a fews months but it wont make it harder to become pregnant
go to planned parenthood or your local health dept and get information about this....birth control is additional hormones and comes with its own set of problems many times....they can help guide you to an informed decision.

How healthy is it to skip the placebo week of birth control and start a brand new pack instead?
I have been on birth control for nearly 2 years. I have been skipping the placebo week for over a year now. Instead, I just start a new pack immediately, so I am always on the pill and don't have periods.
My friends always ask me if that's healthy or not. From what I know, the extra estrogen you take in birth control increases my risk of breast cancer. However, by not having periods, I am decreasing my risk of cervical cancer. Am I correct on this?
Also, I have told at least 3 doctors that I do this, and have not had a single one tell me that it is unhealthy to do so. Is this healthy to do for an extended length of time?
Thanks for your answers :)How healthy is it to skip the placebo week of birth control and start a brand new pack instead?
you can do it for 3 months at a time, i've read there's no reason we need to menstruate every month but u still have tissue from uterine lining that your body wants to get rid of so its good to have a period every 4 months..... the normal amount of hormones in the pill can help prevent cancers and stuff, u don't need extra, skipping periods can cause iron build up or clots so read about how to prevent it- there's a new one called seasonale that keeps u on schedule and have a period 4 times a yrHow healthy is it to skip the placebo week of birth control and start a brand new pack instead?
I've been on the pill for 10 years and have always skipped that week of pills. Of course, make sure you use another form of birth control that week. I don't see why it would be unhealthy. From what I know, those pills do nothing except keep you on your daily pill-taking routine. I worry about the negative longterm effects of taking the pills, especially since I've been on them for so long. But, my doctor tells me that it keeps me healthier. I guess there are pros and cons.
Oh, geez wait a minute. I just re-read your question and realized that not only do you skip the ';placebo'; week, but you start a new pack right away! No, no, no - don't do that! The pills are meant to keep your body on a 28-day cycle. Wow, I would ask your doctor again about this and make it really clear what you're doing. My periods are so light while I'm on the pill, they might as well be non-existent, so I'm happy with that result. Sorry, I should have read your question more closely!!
i have talked at length with my doctor about this. the doctor said that it is ok to skip the placebo pills for three months and then you should have a period. this way you are having three to four periods a year. by skipping them, you are building up all of the endometrial tissue, which causes a risk for endometriosis. however, in three to four months, you can't build enough to cause a problem.
You are not decreasing your risk of cervical cancer you are increasing it by taking to many hormones.You are protected the week you take the placebo.I dont believe a doctor told you this is healthy,it is quite unhealthy.If you dont want periods switch to the depo shot.It protects for 3 months and is more convient than the pill.
Doctors suggest you allow your body to menstrate at least 3 times per year. I would take the week off every 4 months.
That is so riduculously unhealthy. How has your body got a chance to rid itself of all the nasties, lining and general build up it normally would? It hasn't. Nature knows best, and trying to change ur body's natural cycle is never healthy. It might be convenient but it's so un-natural. The pill is not good for you no matter which way you look at it. If you have bad period try evening primrose oil or controlling the flow with Ponstan.
If you have a progestin-only pill, you may be OK, but most pills are estrogen/progestin combinations, and you may run an increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia and possibly even endometrial carcinoma. Best to have a withdrawal bleed every three or four months, anyway, just to be safe.
very bad, you will end up with cancer. stop it
My friends always ask me if that's healthy or not. From what I know, the extra estrogen you take in birth control increases my risk of breast cancer. However, by not having periods, I am decreasing my risk of cervical cancer. Am I correct on this?
Also, I have told at least 3 doctors that I do this, and have not had a single one tell me that it is unhealthy to do so. Is this healthy to do for an extended length of time?
Thanks for your answers :)How healthy is it to skip the placebo week of birth control and start a brand new pack instead?
you can do it for 3 months at a time, i've read there's no reason we need to menstruate every month but u still have tissue from uterine lining that your body wants to get rid of so its good to have a period every 4 months..... the normal amount of hormones in the pill can help prevent cancers and stuff, u don't need extra, skipping periods can cause iron build up or clots so read about how to prevent it- there's a new one called seasonale that keeps u on schedule and have a period 4 times a yrHow healthy is it to skip the placebo week of birth control and start a brand new pack instead?

How long after birth control pill did it take you to get pregnant?
I dont want stats that you look up online, I want your experience. How long after the pill did it take you to get pregnant?How long after birth control pill did it take you to get pregnant?
I stopped my pill 2yrs before we got pregnant but we were being careful doing the pull out method cause we were not officially trying yet and that seemed very effective. when we did start trying it took me 3 months cause I didn't know that we can only get pregnant once in a each cycle and I keep missing that day when we would try. I charted my cycle after that using the book below and got pregnant in the first cycle. now have a 3 month old baby girl. I owe everything to that book w/out it I have no doubt I'd still be trying.How long after birth control pill did it take you to get pregnant?
