Birth control pills

[reflexk]

This question has been probably asked before, but I couldn't dig up an appropriate thread.. Also, I could have asked it in Sexual Health Issues, but I guess not too many bros visit there unless they have a problem.
Sorry if any bro thinks this thread is unwarranted.




My GF and me would like to do it raw, and neither of us had another partner, so STDs are ruled out from the equation. The only concern is pregnancy.


I have read a hell lot on BC pills on the internet, but just want to know experiences of bros.

1) Where do you get cheap but effective BC pills
(Neither me, nor GF are citizen/PR if it matters).
Any specific recommendations?

2) Anyone got their wife/gf pregnant while they were taking pills reasonably compliant to the directions
(I agree we can find statistics on several webpages, but just want to know real life experiences)

3) Anyone had difficulty in conceiving after taking pills for long
(I would be marrying her only in 3 yrs, and plan to have kids only another 2 yrs later, which means she hav to be on pill for 5 yrs - too long for being on pills? )

4) Anyone experienced a significant reduction in partner's sexual appetite/wetness etc?
(my gf is not strong in them even without pills)

5) Will the period get more regular (and lighter) as many sources claim?
(I don't want be worrying every time her period becomes late, and her period as of now is not too regular)

Thanks for all your inputs. It will mean a lot to me.

I ever meet one girl who was on the pills. She said she took the pills for 2 yrs when with her bf and never got pregnant. I think she took the once per month type.

TS, maybe you can consider coils or IUD. My ex had it and we never had an accident :)

Of course, effects may differ.

[jacky43]

For ladies it might put on weight, a FL told me this many yrs ago. Just sharing, not sure is true.

That's true, and if she continues to take BC pills for a long period of time she may have difficulty in getting pregnancy next time.

[freezetheDB]

alot of women take the pill (eg. yasmin) so that they can enjoy sex without fearing pregnancy, and also to regulate their period (period will be regular) but they need to go for regular pap smear.

Thanks for appreciating my purpose of asking... Ya, I was asking opinions from the experienced folks here.. Nowadays, anybody doing a proper research on the net can also get statistical info that a doctor can give.. I am indeed looking for experiences from our esteemed bros..

And thanks for the info, bro :).. IUD might be a good option after all.. I will explore it..


they need to go for regular pap smear.
If we are the only partners we ever had, still need to do pap smear?


Thanks to all bros for your inputs...

that's bs..........where u heard that from sia.

[icefreezed]

1) Where do you get cheap but effective BC pills
(Neither me, nor GF are citizen/PR if it matters).

most private clinics in sg have them. some have a wide range, some only maintain a few types.

2) Anyone got their wife/gf pregnant while they were taking pills reasonably compliant to the directions
(I agree we can find statistics on several webpages, but just want to know real life experiences)

effectiveness is 99% with right usage (quoted from the drug companies themselves)

3) Anyone had difficulty in conceiving after taking pills for long
(I would be marrying her only in 3 yrs, and plan to have kids only another 2 yrs later, which means she hav to be on pill for 5 yrs - too long for being on pills? )

pills will not affect her fertility

4) Anyone experienced a significant reduction in partner's sexual appetite/wetness etc?
(my gf is not strong in them even without pills)

depends on individuals. certain brands of pills may cause her that but may not necessarily do the same to another. trial and error.....

5) Will the period get more regular (and lighter) as many sources claim?
(I don't want be worrying every time her period becomes late, and her period as of now is not too regular)
yes extremely regular. i can predict without fail when my period will come.

Thanks for all your inputs. It will mean a lot to me.[/QUOTE]

some may experience weight gain (increase in appetite), some will not. i dont....

[tigerprawn]

You can try Mercilon. In Singapore, you would need a prescription but you can also buy this over the counter in Malaysia (JB) at any pharmacy there. And it is cheap. If I dont remember wrongly, it is about $12 per pack. Each pack contains 21 pills. Your girl takes 1 a day (must be taken at the same time each day) then at the end of 21 days, rest 7 days before starting on a new pack. During this rest period of 7 days, her period will come. It is safer to wait at least 2 weeks after your girl starts taking the pill before having raw sex and cumming inside her. And for some girls, they may start bleeding for a few days up to a month (like light menstral bleeding) when they first begin taking the pill while their body adjusts to the hormonal control; that is a normal effect. But once your girl starts on the pill regularly, her period will be very accurate and will come between the 21st to 28th days when she stop the pill for a week; as her hormones are now controlled by medication. While the doctors claim there is no side effects, anything taken long term is never good since it is not natural. So why not you try it for 6 months then assess therefrom.

Hope this helps. :)

DO NOT take medical advice from a forum

you can hear anecdotal experiences for general information, but please visit a gynecologist

Personal Experience:

Effectiveness - 100% over 10 years. Problems occur only if you forget to take a pill.

Long term Use - no problem getting pregnant after using for 10 yrs

Side effects - Weight gain, Mood Swings, Bad Temper (!), Headaches

Libido - individual, some get less desire, some get more

DO NOT Buy a brand based on what you read on the internet

You need a professional to monitor and advise you on potential problems - spotting, migrianes, deep vain thrombosis,

PLEASE don't be a cheapskate and save the $80 bucks to consult a Gynecologist. Especially for your future wife who you are marrying in 3 yrs and plan to have kids with!!!!

[Bernini]

TS, you google under contraceptives to get all the available options better. Or to go all natural, do it 3 days before her period and withdraw to cum outside her.

Thanks to all bros for your inputs...


Pap smear is for her own health if she is on the pill, as some females might have chance of cervix cancer. Even if a woman is not on the pill, it is always advisable to go for a pap smear every 1-2 yrs once they reach a certain age of risk

[HungHubby]

my personal experiences to share:

1: if ya looking to get effective pills, go to a proper and established gyne. do take into account of ya spouse health, contraband pills and pay slightly more. (about 20+ to 30+ for a pack for 1 mth if i din remember wrongly). with a proper gyne, pap smear scan, weight monitoring and other stuff is in place to monitor if anything goes wrong. (for her health too)

2. most birth control pills can guarantee u up to 90-95% of accuracy, and if ya spouse is following the dates to a tee, chances of knocking her up is very low. (subjectable to mood swings, stress, mental problems, illness etc which will affect the cycle)

3. when u both do have plans to conceive, it would usually be good to stop the pills for about 6mths before trying, depending on her physcial reaction to the pills, a gyne will advise u accordingly.

4. this is a 50-50 question, some might experienced a drop in sexual appetite, some might increase, some might stay the same. not really a big issue, u can spice things up in different ways if her sexual appetite really does drop. or if her sex drive actually increases, u would be a happier man..

5. see point 2. her menses will actually become more regular subjectable to different reasons of coz.

other things to take note:

most women on the pill will actually see a slight-moderate increase in weight and a higher tendancy to get headaches etc.

btw, dun ya know how to count a woman fertility cycle? 14 days from the first day of her menses is her most fertile day, subjecting to ya sperms COMMANDO and SURVIVOR levels, its always not advisable to do it raw 4 days before and 4 days after.

Bros that have gfs taking the pills, does it make their boobs larger ? Heard that some have this great side effects :p

Don't think larger, but feels differently initially :o

[chengzc]

Use evra patch. Only change once a week. Can get from sg doctor but malaysia guardian sell cheaper.

My gf use to have irregular menses. Use liao menses regular. Will come 2 days after u remove 3rd patch and end 3 days later.

[chengzc]

Don't think larger, but feels differently initially :o

Yes will b larger. We double cfm with e doctor cause wheb we start using contraception, her boobs felt swollen and we thought some something wrong

[superhamsapex]

there is another other contraception alternative if you dont mind

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexplanon

implanon is the safest way for now

[DemonicSS]

Personally, you do not need to consult a doc if your partner is healthy. Everything you do in life is about probability. Eating panadol is lethal to afew people, so do you consult a doc before eating them? Just do your research, read instructions and all will be fine. If unwell after consumption, then see a doc- unless of course if u had a brain fart thinking that eating all 28 pills in 1 day will make u able to fuck raw immediately, then ignore my passage and go see a doctor first.

Afew bros have mentioned about the risk in eating pills. If you actually take the time to read the fine print, you will notice that their pills will almost cause issues to EVERYTHING known to females. They did this because the companies do not want to get sued for anything and everything, not because its a risk. The risk portion has been analyzed and nothing conclusive had been obtained despite such an extensive study and duration of use. So I dun think its the pill that causes most problems.

if your partner is disciplined , go for the pill. It's effect is 99%. Implants like iud effect rate is lower because of possiblilty of mis-implantation and how well your body handles the implant. Bill wise, pills are also more economical. Iuds u have to pay someone to insert it, and that can be abit more costly.

There is also anothe pills call postino. It is commonly known as the morning after pill, is used only as an emergency contraceptive.

It is used to prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours. No need to take daily.

The side effect are stated below:

To TS and all others,
As a pharmacist, I find lots of information posted here is fairly inaccurate. If contraception is needed, get your partner to legit health provider (gynae/pharmacist) whom can provide a general screening to determine the suitable contraception. Not everyone can tolerate the same contraception as there is lot of factors to be considered (ie. lifestyle, medical condition, family history)

If your partner is someone important, you should not risk their health by randomly trying out but to let the qualify professional to determine. The choice should never be in the men hand as commitment and the risk/side effect is all bared by the ladies. Of course if they are not then don't bother bout my post :)

Internet is a very powerful tool - information at a click, but not everyone is able to interpret the information accurately. I mean I can obtain information on how to build a car, but can I really build a car?

ps.
Don't bother PM or ask me further to comment on contraception, like I say go to your legit health provider. :)

[nightfly1966]

That's true, and if she continues to take BC pills for a long period of time she may have difficulty in getting pregnancy next time.
