Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
So, I'm looking into birth control pills. I tried digging around online for something straightforward, but honestly, I couldn't find a single site that actually explains things clearly without being a total mess. If anyone has a decent link, I’d really appreciate it. 😁
I mean, I get the basics—how to take them, why you use them, the whole drill—but I've got a few specific things on my mind.
First off, what's the deal with weight gain and breast growth? I know it varies from person to person, but some people swear it’s basically genetic. Like, if your mom gained weight while on the pill, you're just destined for it too. Makes sense, right?
Also, can my boyfriend finish inside me if I'm on the pill? Just making sure.
And is there any truth to the idea that taking them long-term makes you infertile later on? To me, that sounds completely ridiculous.
Last thing: my gynecologist told me I absolutely cannot smoke while on them, but then I know this guy who smokes like a chimney and he's on the pill just fine. WTF?
Thanks in advance! 🙂
