Should you be taking them month from month? I want a baby someday, but I don't want to put my boyfriend through something he is not ready for. And it is hard to be abstinent, from which person we don't know.

It depends on the form of birth control. The pill doesn't seem to have any effect on future fertility. The shot (Depo) has been shown to cause future fertility problems. It can take over 18 months for your hormone cycle to get back to normal. Pfizer and the FDA recommend that Depo-Provera not be used for longer than 2 years, unless there is no viable alternative method of contraception.

Any kind of birthcontrol can cause infertility. Every woman is different, so it is just something that you should talk to your doctor about.
It is more about you being ready and comfortable, not your boyfriend. I know you care about him and are attracted to him, but if you aren't ready for kids, with or without birthcontrol, you shouldn't be having sex. Even using it correctly there is always a chance of becoming pregnant.
I am 23, my son will be 4 on Saturday. I was using birthcontrol correctly from the time I was 16 until I got pregnant when I was 18.
Also, think about condoms because there are so many infections and STD's out there.

I also support abstinence. Yes it's hard, but are you saying that you and your boyfriend are so weak you don't have any control over yourselves?
That's not a good way to be. A strong woman and man can control their passions. People have been doing it for thousands of years. You can, too. Ask your boyfriend if he respects you and loves you enough to wait. That's what a real man does.
Then you won't have any worries about pregnancy before you are ready.
And yes, birth control can negatively affect your fertility. They are still doing studies on the long-term effects. BC pills are also associated with increased risk for certain cancers, and also stroke and certain heart problems.
You can read about all the risks and side effects by going to the pill websites, or by reading the insert in the package. Most women never take the time to read the fine print.
One last thing, the pill can also cause very early abortions b/c of a thing called "breakthrough ovulation."
Why risk all of this?

i became on the implanon implant for 3 years till very those days. I had some issues of it initially ie. non end bleeding yet went to docs and taking the blended tablet (oestrogen and progesterone) for each week taken care of it precise out. Had it out because of the fact i opt to pass on the blended now and progesterone basically did make me benefit some weight i did no longer want. blended is going super so far. So, my techniques i recommend are a diverse sort of tablet because of the fact the are approximately 3 diverse types, the implant because of the fact it incredibly is hassle unfastened (often :P) and in case you conflict with hormones, the coil. My pal have been given the coil approximately 6 months returned as shes struggled with hormones and he or she loves it. curiously it hurts somewhat once you place it in yet then its rather plenty hassle unfastened. look into some boards for birth control, the embarrassing bodies internet site communicate board is somewhat good for one among those information. i individually recommend you pass and characteristic a communicate on your GP or a gynacologist for the final techniques for you. desire this helped.

The pill doesn't have any affect on future fertility. The shot has some affect, but rare. The Nuva ring they don't really know because it is so new

Actually they can. I know a few women who have had to go to a fertility specialist after being on depo in order to get pregnant.
I would have a talk with your doctor about your situation.

Birth control pills have no effect on future fertility. No worries.:)

Birth control changes your hormones. If you decide to stop taking it and have difficulty conceiving, you might need to rebalance your hormones (usually adding more progesterone). But if you're young and healthy, I doubt this will be a big problem. The only way to really protect your body is to avoid premarital sex.

Put your boyfriend through what? You might want to get married before you put a unplanned baby through being raised by a single mom. The horse before the carriage thing....
I know it's not popular but I totally support abstinence.
God bless!
