@Poshi: the medication was supposed to protect my stomahc walls. Or something. I suppose I should be taking it still, but I'm too lazy to go to the doctor for every time the package is empty, besides that I'm not good at taking them properly anyways xD
You can get preg on the pill for many reasons. For me it would be improper use of the pill itself XD Besides no b-control assures 100% nor preganncy.

I don't know any side effects of the pill other than the risk of slight weight gain rofl XD I wonder if there's a difference between the ones available elsewhere. I mean I literally feel no side effects at all other than "no period" rofl. So weird.
Usually there's only two ways to get pregnant with the pill, which is 1) don't take it properly (although you have to do this for a full month normally because the first bleed you would get wouldn't involve ovulation, so you'd have to be either super unlucky or super bad at taking it) or 2) taking another medication which counteracts the effects of the pill. Then I think there's a very slim possibility it might not work for certain people at all based on genetic conditions, but you'd know that very quickly because it wouldn't be working in any way.

What's wrong with your stomach lining mem that would require protection with the pill?
Well side effects include increased irritability, mood swings and weight gain. I really don't want it to affect my mood so I rather not take it :( I'm highly irritable enough and my mood can get all over the place with stress.
I probably will consider the pill in 5 years but not now I think.

I actually think the pill reduced my mood swings haha, I was really difficult when I was a teen. I used to get really sad about a week before and then I would blow up into big arguments with people because it was easier to get angry than sad. I can still get that a little but not as much and not every time, and usually I'm sad for about a minute then I'm like "wait this makes no sense... oh okay I see what's happening here" and then I'm fine.

It's different for everyone and some people are lucky enough to have no side effects. I won't know until I try but I'm also the type of person who avoids taking medicine unless absolutely necessary. I do take an antihistamine everyday otherwise I'll be uncomfortable and itchy :(
I'm always irritable though but I think that's just my personality. I'm a giant crank pot.

I think as teens we all go through random mood swings.
I too try and avoid medication unless really needed.

Same here, but I feel like the pill is necessary to me XD well, I don't want to get pregnant until I'm ready after all. Before I started skipping I also liked the freedom of being able to push it back a few days or even bring it forward to suit big events too, because for my first days I can't even leave the house let alone do special things.

I take panadol at the last minute with headaches
but also use BC.
I don't want kids.. nor periods. if I could and was up to it and could afford to, I'd get surgery but I think the doctors would still say no.
I don't think I'm more moody than I was before BC. Over the years I've been trying hard on it. It's hard with the anxiety and stuff but I've always had anxiety. And I had depression in high school on/off...
But like when I do get angry, people get surprised by it. And I try not to let my temper get the best of me like it used to.

Sorry guuuuys
Had my therapy day yesterday, was tired of computers and didn't really feel like going online again, sorry
@jacob: I know I'd be super bad at taking the b-control pill XD Mostly because right now I kind of don't care that much if I get pregnant or not, I'd be glad XD So there's no fear of pregnancy or anxiety that would push my brain to remember about them. Or bf would have to remind me. I know I'd probably set an alarm, but I remember my sister was having that and I just always knew "uhuh, it's the pill time. whore." (I was mad at her x.x Still am, but not for the same things, lol).
And I'm scared of the side effects like: weight gain (which would be good for me, but I don't want it to be beyond my control), mood swings (though it may be helpful with my pms but don't want to risk), lower libido (I mean, it's already pretty low compared to bf, I like having sex with him, I don't want a pill to take that away from me and I don't want to give him blue balls all month long just because we can't afford to have kids yet x.x). I'm sure there are more, but I'm too scared to look them up XD I know there is some assecuration pill that you can take with the BC pill, but there's no guarantee it would work...
I was taking a pill for lowering pms symptoms (4 months i think) and that alone made me go all no-no on sex. And I didn't think it was right. So stopped taking them. Right now I'm fine, I try to take into account that it's that time of the month and I may overreact to things, so I try to control myself.
And as Poshi and Haze, I'm not too fond of taking meds until I absolutely can't handle what's going on with me.
@Poshi: My stomach lining? It's just that out of stress my stomach produces too much acid and it goes up and makes me really nauseaous all day long no matter what. And I can't eat proper meals because I get the gagging/vomit reflex at the end if it's too much food. So that's why I got it prescribed. But I kind of figured out how to live with that, especially that waiting an hour until I can eat something after the medication is only making my "maybe I'll eat later" thing stronger. So I actually rather try eating something in the morning and try to eat less and more often ^^
