Question
hi ive been on birth control for 3 months now i had stopped for a month and relized my stomach was a little flatter. It seems that every time i take the pill i get bloated is this normal
Artificial hormones have many different effects on your body. Bloating can certainly be one of them. If you have not read the package insert that comes with the pills from the pharmacist, you should do that. There are many side effects and they are not good.

Expertise
Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.
Experience
I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
