Pls Help -getting On the Pill Soon Posted: 12-07-06 13:41pm
As from next period I will start the birth
control pill since i'm fed up of being
afraid of being pregnant....But i'm a bit
afraid....Can anyone tell me how it feels
being on the pill?....Is it effective
immediately?....Are the side effects so
bad?....Is it true that it lowers your
libido?......And just to check i've got
the 21 pack and then stop for 7
days...During those 7 days am I protected
aswell?
Pls I really need some feedback to be
reassured!!!
Thanks very much

You will not really 'feel' anything,
except less worried about becoming
pregnant.
Your breasts may grow slightly, which can
ache and cause tenderness. You may notice
a bit of nausea, which comes the first
time a woman may take the 'pill'.
When you start the pill on the sunday
after your period starts it is effective
immediately, so you are safe!

If you are a sunday start the pill does
not become effective untill seven days
later and alot of doctors say wait a month
before going without a backup method to
prevent unwanted pregnancy.
You may have side effects, you may not.
My boobs grew and were achy for a week but
other then that I have been great! It
depends on your body and how it responds
to that particular dosage of hormones.

Hey, no biggie! I'm on enpresse, and I
started without any problems or side
affects whatsoever. I didn't feel sick
or anything. I did lose weight, but not
a dangerous amount.
Sadly enough, my breasts didn't get any
bigger, though. :p

The pill packet clearly states that if you
start when you are on your period you are
protected immediately, otherwise you would
need back-up for one wek.
Read the pill leaflet, it will clearly
state this.
