birth control?

Question

after you take the first 21 pills in the pack and you go on to the sugar pills where your supposed to get your period how long does it usually take for the blood flow to start happening. and also if you can give me any info about the chemicals in typical birth control pills and how they affect the body and why the absence of them during the last week starts the peroid. do you ovulate while taking them? just give me any info you got. as much as possible.

Answer 1

With my pills it takes until the 3rd or 4th pill in the sugar pills to get mine. I have been on three different kinds and they all are different, but typically the 2nd to 4th day you should have it. Also they consider ONE drop of blood to be a period, so you could have it and not know it. As far as the ingredients in them i dont know much about i'm sure a pharmacist, doctor , or even the internet will tell you more. The pill is supposed to stop you from ovulating but if you do happen to ovulate theres a film in your uterus that will not let an egg stick to it and grow. it amazes me a little pill can do all this.

Answer 2

One of the most definitive guides to birth control is called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. I have done so much research online and otherwise, and have found this book to be extremely helpful. Of course, there are others out there (and I own a few), I would recommend researching ALL of them. You can never have too much information.



As far as the chemicals and affects of birth control: every pill is different, BUT they all have significant dangers to the woman's body. Severe side effects have been documented for everything from migraines, to ovarian cysts, an increased risk of ALL types of cancer, and even cardiovascular difficulties (increased risk of heart attack, etc). Many women are not aware of these dangers/risks, and do not experience any side effects...but KNOW what the dangers are, and there are proven SUCCESSFUL alternatives.



Birth control pills alter many systems in the body, and each have a different method. Check out the following site for some general pros/cons and basic information about the different kinds of contraceptives: http://www.4woman.gov/faq/birthcont.htm



This is a good starting place to discover information about many different kinds of birth control (and the pill).



Also, for an excellent explanation of birth control pills specifically, check out: http://kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/contraception/contraception_birth.html



And finally, every woman's body is different, and thus...even with all the research in the world, you may find your body reacts differently to the "pill" than other documented sources.
