Hi everyone,

I was just thinking about my past experiences with birth control (shot,patch,ring,pill) and every girl has some

kind of problem with birth control at some point.We go on it in the first place because we are having sex and

don't want the consequences of it...but when side effects like bleeding,moods,weight gain happen,they get in the way.For example bleeding between periods,I had that on depo,and that just makes us think why are we on it in the first place since,at least me,will not be having any sex,therefore will not be needing the birth control.

sorry if im confusing some of you..but im sure other girls have thought the same thing.Im not having any problems now,but many people are.i almost stopped bc for a while because I thought if im not having sex,why do i need to be on bc?complicated

lots of women go on BC for reasons other than the desire to have sex...

"We go on it in the first place because we are having sex and

don't want the consequences of it..."

I'm sorry but that kind of comment REALLY rubs me the wrong way

Well, there are literally millions of women on hormonal birth control all over the world, and I am pretty sure that not all of them are having problems!

Hi,

Sorry if that rubbed you the wrong way,but I just meant to say that MOST women are on BC to have sex and not

get pregnant.Some are on it for other reasons,sorry if my choice of words got you mad (saying consequences)

And I did say that most women go through some problems at some point,not every BC is good with every woman.I didn't mean for my message to get anyone mad.Just a thought that is true for a lot of women.
