The Pill - Hormone pills you take at the same time every day

 

The Pill - Hormone pills you take at the same time every day. Used right, they are approximately 97 percent to – 98 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. (Remember, they offer no protection against STDs or HIV.). Some women experience side effects--painful breasts, weight gain, nausea, headaches, and depression, while others have none. There are different varieties of Pill, so you can switch kinds if you are having trouble. One plus for women with painful periods is that the Pill often makes this special time almost cramp-free, as well as shorter and less gushing. Long-term effects on fertility after being on the pill for many years can cause problems later when wanting children.

 

Norplant – is match stick-size capsules that the doctor plants in your arm. Over five years, they slowly release synthetic progesterone and approximately four percent of women who are on Norplant become pregnant. However, smokers should avoid this method, because Norplant increases the risk of cardiovascular problems. Like the Pill, it has also been linked to breast cancer. In addition, about 75% of women using Norplant have irregular menstruation the first year, and some have serious spotting between periods. It does not offer STD or HIV protection, and it may be less effective for women who weigh more than 154 pounds.
