Questionhi there,
I was planning on taking birth control pills for the first time and I have some questions.
-I've heard birth control pills help with acne as well? would it help my back acne and oily skin?
- in the booklet it states you can start the pill on the sunday after your period begins or on the first day of your period--why do they give you a choice? is one a better option than the other?
- I have 4 sugar pills, does that mean my period will come within those 4 days?
- Will my flow be lighter and will I have less cramps?
- what happens to the egg/where does the egg go when you are taking birth control pills that causes you not to get pregnant?
thanks.
AnswerHi Connie,
Birth control pills can help with acne but I don't believe that is a good reason to take them. In fact, I don't recommend the pill because of risks to your health and side effects (long-term and short-term).
I would seriously recommend a non-hormonal birth control method.
