Question Hey its josh I just asked if my girl friend is pregnant sorry to bug you again but I told you how she stopped taking the pill well it was for about a week and a half I guess but she ended up getting it again 3 days ago and since then she has been vommiting head aches and bad cramps she said this didn't happen when she first started taking the pill but I read the side effects and these are some side effects I told her she's not pregnant its to early for symtoms and its cuz you started to take the pill again. This is why she is sick right?
Answer Hey Josh,
Yes your right, they are some side of effects that are possible from taking the pill. It is most likely to early for symptoms, but the best thing to do is make an appointment for a doctor to get her tested. In the rare case, pregnancy can still occur with contreception, so she does need to get tested.
The pill is NOT reliable, got pregnant twice when on the pill. Here are a list of other contraceptives that she may find are better, and alot more reliable :
If you don't want to get pregnant, you have to relaise that you can't just have unprotected sex and hope for the best. You have to be responsible for your actions and have some form of contraceptive. There are many widley available, and they are free!
There are things like -
The coyle - It's gets inserted in your vagina, it stops any chance of pregnancy. Getting it inserted is totally pain free, and you don't have to go into the hospital etc. The coyle lasts for 5 years without having to remember to take it etc, so it is one of the most common and best form of contraception.
The implant/rod - It is much like the coyle, although it gets inserted inside the arm. The insertation once again is utterly painless, and done iniside the family planning clinic. The rod lasts for 2 years, and yet again you don't have to remember to take it, and it can be removed at anytime through a simple injection.
The jag- It's a jag you get every 4 months on the bottom of the back, it may not be as good as the others because you have to remember to take it etc. It has to be renewed every 4 months.
Thats the my favourite ones, there are of course other ones, maybe better in your opinion. I think these are the most reliable and easiest to use! You can find out more information from your doctor or at your local family planing clinic, sexual health clinic or planned parenthood.
