Ladies, were you scared to take BC for the first time?

Question

I'm 24 and am getting put on birth control for the first time and i'm pretty nervous from all of the possible side effects, and just in general...did anyone else feel this way when they were going to take it? I'm getting put on Ortho tri-cyclen lo

Answer 1

No I didn't. I have with BC over than 2 years and the only side effect that I have felt it's fell is that my b***s grew a little but that's great for me.

I'm using the injection and I recommend you because it's easy to put it, reliable and secure, confidential because only you and the person who puts it know about it, doesn't shows side effects like pills and the most important you can only need one per month and you are protected (there are another ones that you can use one per three months too) and a great advantage against the pills is that you don't have to worry because you forgot to take them one day lol. Good luck and take care! ;)

Answer 2

i was happy and relieved

ortho clears up pimples by the way. :)

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

I had ovarian cysts when I was 17 years old. I was put on Birth Control to help reduce the cysts. It helped a lot and I didn't have any side effects. I'm a person that is prone to side effects and allergic reactions.

I don't remember what BC I had taken, because it was a long time ago.

Be sure to tell your doctor anything that you are allergic to. Any side effects that may occur talk to your doctor as soon as possible.

One of the GOOD side effects can be, lighter and shorter periods and clearer face if you have problems with acne. Not all side effects are bad.

Answer 5

yes, i was nervous!  but it was only because i knew my body and cycle so well and was reluctant to have that change.

i experienced no side effects whatsoever on ortho tri-cyclen lo.

Answer 6

no!  I was ready for it, excited for my bigger b***s and lower chances of pregnancy.  As for side effects, they can happen, but you can always just go off the meds.  if a doctor prescribed it, she probably knows what she's talking about.

Answer 7

yes, i was 16 and I had pretty regular periods so I was worried they would get messed up, plus other side effects. But I am glad I did and didnt have any significant problems. Its nice knowing exactly when your period is coming and knowing you are protected from pregnancy. Plus i bet your periods will be shorter and lighter than normal. I've been on the pill for 5 years and dont regret it at all. Good luck.
