Can being on two birthcontrol at once harm your body?

Depends: It depends what combination. Birth control pills + condoms or birth control + spermicide is a great idea. If you mean 2 different birth control pills then that is a bad idea. More does not mean better. Just take the birth control exactly as prescribed.
