Can birth control pills make you sterile?

Answer 1

The combination birth control pill can help make your periods regular and reduce a heavy flow and cramps.

The combination birth control pill may decrease breast milk supply. If you are planning to breast-feed consult your physician or lactation consultant before using the combination birth control pill.

The pill lowers your risk for ovarian and endometrial cancer.

Some side effects of the combination birth control pill may include:

Spotting or bleeding between periods during the first three months that you are taking your pill or when you are late in taking your pill.

Upset stomach (nausea). To help prevent nausea, take your pills with food.

Tender breasts, moodiness, bloating, acne, mild headaches and slight weight gain.

If you are having side effects, do not stop taking the combination birth control pill. Talk to your doctor about trying a different pill.

The combination birth control pill can be taken safely for many years. Once you stop taking the pill, you will return to your normal cycle and will be able to become pregnant. The pill will not make you sterile.

The combination pill is not recommended for women 35 years of age and older who smoke because of the increased risk of a stroke or heart attack.

Some drugs make the pill less effective. Ask your doctor or a pharmacist if a new prescription or over-the-counter medication will affect the pill.

The combination birth control pill does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STD) or HIV. Use another birth control method, like a latex condom to protect against STD/HIV.
