Birth control?

what all is involved? do you gain weight? etc...Birth control?
Non-hormonal versions (i.e., barrier methods) don't introduce chemicals into the body that might cause side effects. However, you can still have an allergic reaction to some types of materials (latex condoms, for example.
Hormonal methods are as individual as the person using them. Some women have bad experiences, others don't. The nice thing about most methods is that if you don't like what's going on, it's easy enough to change. The pill has literally dozens of variants. Other methods, such as the ring have very low doses because the hormones are being introduced directly into the area of the body where it's needed.
The best thing you can do is talk to you doctor about your options and possible risks. He or she can fully discuss all the side effects and what might need to happen if you have a bad reaction.
There are many different forms of birth control available. My best advice is to make an appointment with your dr or at a clinic and they can discuss the options you have, and what will work best for you.
Depends on what you're thinking of taking. You have lots of choices from the pill to the ring. There are also surgical procedures that can be done too. But really it just depends on what you are considering. Make sure to ask your doctor about side effects and results of the certain birth control.
