Question 1

Accepted Answer

Drug interactions : Reviewed medical database and was unable to find any evidence of significant drug interactions between formulations of cysteine and birth control pills.  Would recommend still to consult with prescribing physician as well.

Question 2

does the supplement l-glutathione affect birth control pills effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

NO: There are no known interactions between glutathione and any medications.

Question 3

irregular cycles since coming off the birth control pills its been over a year now my cycles range from 26-30 days does this mean im not ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Cycles of 26-30 are : considered pretty regular.  Having PMS symptoms of breast tenderness, water retention, and menstrual cramps are more common in women who ovulate.    If you are trying to conceive, there are urine tests to check the LH surge, which precedes ovulation, although it doesn't confirm release of an egg from the ovary.

Question 4

will birth control pills work for men?

Accepted Answer

Not as well: Studies are ongoing to develop a pill to supress sperm production in men.  Preventing one ovulation a month appears to be much easier than preventing the formation of hundreds of millions of sperm cells over the same period.  I don't think men are going to be quite as motivated to take the pill every day as women are.

Question 5

how do you take secure birth control pills?

Accepted Answer

Daily administration: Take daily and don't miss any. If you don't want to be pregnant consider a long acting, reversible method of birth control like an implant or IUD so that you don't have to remember to take a birth control pill. Easy to place and fewer side effects as well because they provide a sustained release of hormones at a low dose, so they're also very safe.

After menarche: Menarche is onset of menstruation. Birth control pills can be started at that time to regulate menses, prevent menstrual cramps, treat acne, as well as prevent pregnancy. However, remember that birth control pills won't prevent sexually transmitted diseases/ or infections. That's why it's important to use a condom each & every time.
