i would like to know what kindof risks. or the side effects.What are the risks of birth control?
I've been on many different kinds of pills and even the shots and they all have their own ricks, but i guess the most common side effects are spotting the middle of your cycle, and they all have a risk for blood clots but i have never heard of anything like that actually happeningWhat are the risks of birth control?
it depends, ive been on 6 different birth controls all of em have different side effects. Im kinda small so i'd always get sick and throw up in the morning with every new pack. Also it can either help you with acne and cramps or make them worse. Also some birth control makes you gain weight:((( Also some birth controls can make it harder to have sex, downer!!! um oh yea and sometimes different types can make you moody:( ALSO i used to have short periods but now they last forever.

Birth control pill vs the health risks?
why do women risk their own health to prevent haveing a baby, i can understand some situations but i do not think all the women that are on the pill are realy taking it because they NEED to. if anyone has seen the mad tv skit on the birth control pill i think they used yaz in the skit this is the kind of thing i am refuring to. i know it wont literaly do that to your body but you risk an awefull lot on your health when you take the pill, why do women take it anyway?? there might be something i am missing.Birth control pill vs the health risks?
people take the pill because even though there is a risk of these thing happening its very low. it better to take the chance than for someone to have a baby that they cant afford to take care of or not ready or willing to take care ofBirth control pill vs the health risks?
the risk is very, vey small. Side effects from taking the pill are rare, and happen to an extremely small percentage of women. There is actually more risk to a womans life while pregnant or dleivering a baby than there is while on the pill.
i wud think that the best answer for this is that it depends on each individual.............unless u have spent the time walking in another person's shoes, u DON'T know what is best for their situation. it DEFINATELY is better than sum other methods that younger girls/women use.....and is far less harmful in the longrun!!!!!!!!!!!

Risks: Birth Control. I have been taking them for a week. I have also been taking antihistamine...?
...and I have been feeling dizzy. Is there something in them that doesn't correspond with the each other? Am I poisoning myself? I have been really shaky and have had a high pulse. I read in the birth control side effect thing that the risk of diabetes is slightly higher. diabetes runs in my family, but only of women of an older age. My grandma just got it and she is 67. I am 15, and I have been eating a lot of sweets lately. Could that be why I am so shaky? I don't eat much, just a piece or two when I am really in the mood.
Please someone help me, and I only want answers from people who really know!!!Risks: Birth Control. I have been taking them for a week. I have also been taking antihistamine...?
If you are feeling dizzy, you really, really need to see a doctor, not just ask us on the internet. There are about a million and one reasons for dizziness, and we can't possibly tell from here.
The answer to your question is that no, I don't think there's any reason that birth control and antihistamines would work together in combination to make you dizzy. On the other hand, antihistimines can do that all by themselves, but regardless, there's no way to tell if it's the medication that's doing this. And yes, low blood sugar could also make you dizzy (diabetes causes HIGH blood sugar and if you are having symptoms from that, you need to see a doctor even more), but I have no idea if that's the cause. However, bottom line: ANY new symptom after starting a new medication is cause for another visit to the doctor.
Please call your own doctor. Okay?

Birth defect risks and birth control?
Well I've been on the pill for about 8 months now. I have never missed a pill, and I take it every single day at the same exact time. Still I'm growing a bit concerned about pregnancy. My breasts are swollen and tender, I've getting migraines, strange food cravings, nausea...and I'm sitting here thinking ';wait a minute, I've been through this before';.
My question is not ';could I be pregnant';, so please don't start responding in regards to my symptom list; my question is: If I AM preggers, what are the dangers of having continued the pill? What possible birth defects or complications may arise because of this?
I've stopped the pill and reverted back to condoms until I know for sure if I'm pregnant or not...but I've already miscarried twice in my young life...and would like to take the best care of this potential child by knowing my risks.Birth defect risks and birth control?
Its not impossible, but its unlikely. You get a lot of pregnancy symptoms when on the pill. Its perfectly normal. I went up a whole cup size when on BC.
As for birth defects, i dont know what science says, but my friend's mom was on BC for five months when she was pregnant with her, now she has MS and a slew of other health issues.
WHo knows. Ask your doctorBirth defect risks and birth control?
if you take the pilll like you say I dont think you are...and pills can cause bad migraines and all the stuff you've mentioned. That's why I had to stop taking it after 7 years.

Any risks factors with taking birth control?
taking birth control is like guys taking steroids.... becasue they are steroids...it can lead to abnormal hair growth and other side effects that are not too pleasantAny risks factors with taking birth control?
well, my sister takes the '; shot '; birth control..and it made her gain weight..but not really much.Any risks factors with taking birth control?
There are always ';risk factors'; when taking medications. Depending on what birth control method you choose whether it's the patch, pills, shots, IUD's, or the newest nuvaring. I work in a pharmacy and some side affects of ALL birth controls methods are break through bleeding, increaded or decreased blood loss during menstration, weight gain, weight loss, tenderness (vaginal or breast), risks of certain cancers (this risk increases if you smoke), heatattacks, blood clots, and even stroke. Another risk factor is the longer you are on birth control the harder it is to convieve when trying to concieve! But, some drugs even lessen cramping during or before your time of the month and lessen blood loss during menstration or even cease a period altogether. Recently Ortho Evra is proven to promote blood clots, strokes, and other harmful side affects. You should definately talk to your dr about any kinds of concerns you have on a particular drug or method! A word of advice...whatever method you choose, make sure you follow directions to a T, or you could actually become pregnant! I wish you the best!
It does increase your chances of cancer, you can read more in detail at the url below.
Yes there can be as with any medication. High blood pressure and smoking can inhance these risks. Namely blood clots, headaches. Read the inserts on the packages to see what else there is.
if taken for a long time yes it is bad for health
There is an increased risk of potentially fatal blood clots. The risk increases from 1 in 10,000 to 6-8 in 10,000. But the risk of getting blood clots during pregnancy is 1 in 200, so I think it's worth it. If you smoke, the risk is much, much higher.eye color

What are risks of the birth control pill?
The most serious risk of taking birth control pills is the development of blood clots, which can be anywhere on your body (legs, heart vessels, lungs, brain), resulting in compromised circulation, heart attack, pulmonary embolus, or stroke. This risk is due to the estrogen component of the pill, and is severely increased by smoking, increased age, and certain associated diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Other side effects include weight gain, breast tenderness, nausea, skipped periods, and migraine.
On the other hand, there are several benefits of taking the pill. Aside from being almost 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, it could also regulate your menstrual cycle and make them lighter, decrease abdominal cramps associated with your periods, decrease your chances of ovarian and uterine cancer, decrease your changes of getting non-cancerous breast masses, less chance of developing ovarian cysts, and improve acne.
Overall, only a small percentage of women who take the pill experience any significant side effects.What are risks of the birth control pill?
depends on the pill, your age and if you smoke
weight gain
breast tenderness
headaches
spotting between periods
your periods may stop altogether
blood clots
of course, some are more rare than others.What are risks of the birth control pill?
Well from what I experienced with my girl is that if you use birth control, you run the risk of still being pregnant..!!! (those dagum PILLS)..........They falsed advertised, I thought the pills were to PREVENT, not to actually HELP make a baby geesh!!!!
Other prescription drugs do not mix well with it - certain antibiotics, for example, will render birth control pills ineffective. Have you considered Depo-provera?
