Well I take b/c and it hasn't done
anything to me other than keep me from
getting pregnant... B/c is safe and I
think the risk of getting something
serious from it is pretty low, but don't
quote me on that, I could be wrong.
Anyways, if u don't wanna take the pills,
get the shot. Other than condoms there
isn't a lot more u can do... Other than
not have sex at all, but i'm not here to
tell u what to do or what not to do. Just
remember, everytime u have sex u risk
getting pregnant and since ur only 14 are
u really ready for the resposibility of a
baby? Just something to think about....
Good luck

All pills have to warn you about this
because some patients have come up with
those problems, but they can't prove if it
was because of the birth control or not.
With you being young, you really don't
have much to worry about with that. They
say most problems come with women 35 and
over who smoke. Just don't switch to the
patch, i've heard of too many bad things
happening with them. Or the depo shot
really. I did some research on the shot..
Doesn't seem like a great choice for
anyone in my eyes.
I have been on bc (ortho tri-cyclen) since
I was 15 (so 5 years now) to regulate my
periods and have not had any problem.
Only time I had a problem was when I
switched to generics because it was
cheaper than my regulars, and my body
doesn't like generics apparently.
Side effects suck with the pills, and last
up to 3 months (which mine went away after
the 1st month), but they're worth it in
the end. No kids for me until I am ready.

Some girls lose weight, some gain weight,
some it doesn't affect them at all. Most
I heard of girls gaining weight on the
pill was like 5 pounds. I've never gained
weight on it though. One of my friends
who got on the depo shot gained 50 pounds
in 3 months though. Eek! One of the many
reasons I never got the shot. Lol
