Question 3

i need help in choosing a contraceptive pills.

Accepted Answer

: The "best" for anyone is whatever is determined after a good medical history, review of present health issues &amp; meds and an understanding of how/why it is being used. There are dozens of "pill" choices that may or may not work well with a particular person. In short, you find this out by working with a health professional over several months.

Question 4

can you die overdosing on contraceptive pills?

Accepted Answer

Sort of: Yes you can accidentally (or intentionally) take too many birth control pills. Doing so is likely to make you feel sick and may cause abnormal bleeding but it is unlikely to be life threatening in otherwise healthy adults. Contact poison control or your doctor immediately if you have a concern/question about a possible overdose.

Question 5

how many contraceptive pills should there be in a box?

Accepted Answer

Typically 28: Typically there are 28 pills per month. Some are divided into 21 active pills and 7 placebo (period) pills, some are 24 active and 4 placebos. Some pills come in a three month continous pill pack with placebos only once every 3 months. These are called continous suppression birth control and are another option to monthly cycles.

Question 6

could taking contraceptive pills help in gender conversion?

Accepted Answer

No: Estrogen is commonly given for pts going through gender conversion though the amounts in birth control are lower than the amts typically prescribed by physicians  helping pts with gender reassignment. Consult your doctor for proper doses.

Question 7

my question is what contraceptive pills would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

I believe it would: be best for the individual to be evaluated first and then an oral contraceptive can be recommended that would be a good choice for that individual.

Question 8

taking 2 contraceptive pills a day instead of 1. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

??: Question is why are you taking 2 pills a day. Ultimately that can be too much and lead to increase in the side effects caused by OCP's. Consult your doctor.

Question 9

can anyone tell me what contraceptive pills would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

7-7-7: There are many different options available for birth control.  If you have already investigated your options and decided on birth control pills, I recommend a pill with 7-7-7 in its name.  The reason that I recommend this particular type of birth control pill is because each week of the pills contain a different combination of hormones, which more closely mimics normal menstrual cycling.

Question 10

how much time have i to wait until contraceptive pills make effect?

Accepted Answer

Define "effect": If you are asking about full protection, most would advise an additional form of birth control for at least the first month.This allows your system to get in a pattern dominated by the birth control pill. It will have some "effects" that you may notice almost immediately.
