Does taking birth control pills terminate a pregnancy? Posted: 09-12-07 21:03pm
Ok. like alot of other questions i am
wondering if i am pregnant. . i am
irregular but i'm going on 2months and no
signs of pd! my stomach kinda hurts but i
dunno what it could be! i took a preg test
and it said neg. but i think it might have
been too early! (if i were to be preg
though, i would only be a few weeks, month
TOPS.) I don't take Birth Control but i
heard it can prevent pregnancy and even
cause abortions. I also didn't mean for
this to happen and it's a long story, and
anything i can do to prevent a pregnancy
would be my best bet. (i apologize if my
solution offends anyone.)
My question is if i am preg. does anyone
know if taking birth control NOW can help
prevent it?
PLEASE HELP!

If you missed your period because you were
pregnant, a pregnancy test would be
positive.
Birth control does not abort babies, but
it's possible that it could maybe cause
birth defects. If you are ever faced with
an unwanted pregnancy, please get a proper
abortion. Trying any "home" methods could
cause you to get a fatal infection.

Unlike the previous poster, I'll say right
now that birth control in the early stages
of pregnancy does NOT cause birth defects.
It also does NOT cause abortions.
All that birth control does is PREVENT
pregnancy, but only if taken at least
one week before intercourse, and continued
on properly for as many months as you want
to be protected.
No, starting birth control now will NOT
prevent a pregnancy. If you are pregnant,
then you're pregnant, period. The only way
it can be undone now is with a legal,
proper abortion. We can help you on the
Abortion Support forum if that's your
intention.
First however you need to find out of
you're really pregnant. A test should have
been positive by now, but give it two
weeks and test again. In the meantime,
schedule yourself a Pap Smear. They can
determine pregnancy in the office with a
urine test as well, plus the physical exam
can determine pregnancy. Furthermore, if
you're not pregnant, they can search and
find a reason as to why you aren't having
a normal period, AND, get you on proper
birth control.

oh ok. i was confused about the birth
control thing because i read on this
doctors site that if you start taking
birth control it somehow makes your lining
in your uterus thicker and prevents the
baby from growing and it enables its
ability to become nourished. but thats
only in the early stage. That's why i was
asking because i thought pretty much the
same things that you told me, ya know?
well, thanks alot! i'm glad my replies
were both really helpful.
you don't think under a month preg would
be too soon for the test to read hormones?

You probably saw information on the
"ABORTION PILL", NOt birth control.
BIRTH CONTROL is a pill you take EVERY
DAY, it stops you from ovulating, if you
do not ovulate, then you do not get
pregnant.

no, no, it was birth control. I know about
the abortion pill too and i know it wasn't
the thing i was reading about. That's why
i got a little skeptical about reading
that birth control can do that. a friend
of mine also told me that using bc in my
position would be a good idea because
another friend of ours did that and it
worked for her. but ya know, that still
may not be true. i looked for a planned
parenthood in my area so i plan on calling
them to clear my confusion.
but thanks for the advice!

Early response tests can detect pregnancy
as early as two weeks after implantation.
Birth control pills THIN the lining of
your uterus. If they thickened it, then
the zygote would have an excellent place
to land!! Birth control pills do this all
month long, not just initially. This is
why your period is often lighter on birth
control.
