I have started using the pill a few months ago because of irregular periods. I know that the side effects of the pill are: deep vein thrombosis (especially in women over 30 years and smokers) and weight gain. I think it can also cause you to be really irritable. In the first month, I used to cry for everything. When I spoke to my GP he told me that the hormones in the pill makes our bodies think that it's pregnant. Pregnant women are sensitive about a lot of issues and many blame them on the hormones. If when using the pill, we have the same hormonal levels as pregnant women, i guess we can feel down.

In a word..YES! and secondly ... NOW-TODAY First off...and to those of you who answered earlier about the fact there was no sperm present, please pay attention... Even ONE drop of semen contains millions of sperm - and since he took the condom off after he'd ejaculated the entire penis was probably covered in live spermatazoa. Next,having just ended your period does not mean you can't get pregnant since teens have such irregular cycles it is impossible to predict when an egg has been released.. so you are being very wise considering taking ECP Now, you say you are afraid of the effects the Emergency Contraceptive Pill will have on your birthday. Let me ask you this... what kind of an effect would having a baby have on you nine months from your birthday? The ECP pill is almost 100% effective when taken within the 72 hour period. As far as side effects, some girls will feel some stomach upset (so, if you're prone to nausea its best when taken with some toast or crackers). Other girls will feel some bloating, occasionally some people vomit once or twice, and some will feel an occasional hot flash. When you pick up your pill from a pharmacy ...& the pharmacist is absolutely your best reference in discussing the side effects you can expect (although most girls don't notice any at all) As far as your boyfriend guaranteeing you that there was no way you could become pregnant, that was the same argument Adam used on Eve back in the Garden... and the result was Cain & Abel. From what you write, I really wonder if you should be having sex at all because you don't seem to understand that you are playing with fire... and the person who's going to suffer most is going to be the baby who's going to come along when you least expect it. You do realize sex is not a required part of a date, nor is it a reward/payment to the boys for having treated you to a movie or a dinner. It's interesting most girls report they don't really enjoy sex but they feel pressured to give in to the boys because they're afraid that the boys will leave them if they don't give them the sex they want. Well, if a boy would leave you if you won't have sex, then why have sex with him in the first place? If he is only staying with you because you're 'putting out', that he's not worth two minutes of your time, much less risking your entire future over. The litmus test we suggest girls try in order to find out just how much he loves you is to tell your boyfriend you have no intention of having any more sex with him -and see how he reacts. If he tries to pressure you into sex or threatens you by saying things like ' If you really loved me, you would do this...' [& if you really loved ME you wouldn't care if we had sex or not!] or ' If you don't have sex with me, then we're through!' [ Bye Bye...lotsa boys out there ya know] or 'How could you do this to me?' [Oh, just what AM I doing to you exactly???] or 'I'll tell everyone how you are putting out for everybody' [OK, and I'll tell them you really stunk at sex] , or any of the other numerous lines boys have used since the dawn of time... then you'll know for a fact that he really wasn't in love with you at all, but was just using you. [My favorite was my one date who told me if he didn't have sex that night he was going to die from a rare disease....I told him to tell me which funeral home he was going to and I'd send flowers :) ] So, get yourself to a pharmacy or call your family doctor and get yourself that pill soon as you can. And IMMEDIATELY thereafter, get on a more reliable form of birth control BEFORE you find yourself singing rock-a-bye baby.

The pill is a hormone....so yes, it can make you feel miserable. If this is becoming a problem for you, you need to see your Dr. so he/she can maybe switch it. It may be to high or to low of a dose of hormones. There are NUMEROUS contraceptive pills, rings, injections and so on, out there and it doesn't hurt to change back and forth. But finding the right one for you can be a lengthy process, as you have to finish an entire month or so of it to see how it will effect you.
Hope this helps

The first one I started on did. It was really high Estrogen. I gained weight, was cranky, and had a low sex drive. It also made my face break out.
The one I'm on now is way better. No weight gain, no mood swings, regular sex drive and cleared up my acne.
You might want to just work with your doctor and try a few different kinds until you find one that you like. This is the 3rd one I've tried and I love it.

Yes, the pill made me miserable, put on weight and ache. If it still is doing it to you, get it changed.

Yes, the horemone amounts differ from pill to pill. When I switched to the patch I went crazy. I was always depressed and angry. I got off it, he put me on zoloft for a bit and I was back to normal.

I used to go out with a woman who went on the pill, then had to give it up after about 2 months because she got clinical depression.
she never suffered from clinical depression before or (for the couple of years I knew her) afterwards

Try pushing out a few puppies and see how you feel then - I think on balance it would be best for the world if you just carried on taking the pill...
