If you take the pill, why?? If not, Why not??
See I am on the pill cuz then I can train harder and not be in pain and have to deal with cramps. I also don't want to get pregnant. My gymnastics coach approves so then I have no problem training and never have to deal with getting my period half-way thru a meet. I am 16.
My b/f likes this b/c he heard about and realized it increases breast size.
Do most teenage girls take birthcontrol??

I started taking the pill when i was 16 because that's when I became sexually active. That is my main purpose for taking it now but even if I wasn't with anyone I still would take it because it makes my periods so much lighter. I love my pill. I have very light periods for only like 3 days and hardly any cramps where before i had horrible cramps and very heavy flows for a whole week. You can tell your boyfriend that it doesn't increase breast size either. I sure do wish it did though. I have been on it for about 3-4 years now and still only have 32A boobs which sucks. That would be nice though. Most of my friends never took birth control until about 18 but that's because they weren't very responsible and didn't want there parents to know they were sexually active. Most responsibe girl will get on some form of birth control and I know alot of girls who take to help with there periods. I hope this helps.

There can be many reasons, thats why there are many versions of the pill and the mini-pill.
I was put on the mini-pill almost 2 years ago because i was very irregular and had serious cramps(i'm now 16 and started my periods when i was 9). We found out later the i have small ovarian cists which was causing most of the pain.
Just be careful since on the pill i have gained almost 10kg but have lost 8kg.
The pill reacts to different people in different ways.
I'm not on the pill to stop being pregnant but it will help when i get to that stage of my life.
Good luck!

i take it because i had problems with ovarian cysts... i had one rupture and i had to have an operation and it sucked big time. my gyno told me that it helps reduce the risk of getting ovarian cysts, because i never want to have to go though that operation again.
it is also an effective method of birth control when you take it the same time every day. :)
as for gymnastics, that's a plus... you know when to expect your period when you are on the pill.

Well I started off taking to relieve bad cramps and stop ovarian cysts..
And now, it's for protection of becoming PG, cramps, OC's, headaches, acne, lighter and way shorter periods.
Honestly this pill has been amazing for me!
