These solutions are safe, convenient, and effective and help to protect one against unwanted pregnancy. Females who use this solution for a longer period are aware of the benefits and cons that are used. If you’re new, here are a few things that one must know about. 

1. Minor side effects

Be it any therapy, there are chances that one does end up having some or other effects.

This lets one know the medicine has worked smoothly and helps to improve the conditions in a smoother manner. It takes time for the body to adjust to the fluctuating hormonal levels that can be experienced as soon as the medicines are consumed. 

Here are the basic side effects that can be observed

  • Emotional fluctuation
  • Weight changes
  • Bloating
  • Breast tenderness
  • Nausea
  • Headache

Once the body gets regulated, it becomes used to the changes and adopts the alterations. 

2. Positive health benefits

The reproductive system takes time to function in a well manner. One can consider the 3 months to let your body get used to these changes. Post this period, your body ends up experiencing few other benefits and the side effects begin to subside. 

The benefits that occur include

  • Reduced risk of ovarian cysts
  • Reduced acne
  • Lighter bleeding
  • Milder cramps
  • Mood swings
  • Shortened periods

3. Protection begins after a specific period

Well, the birth control pill doesn’t show the effects at the earliest. Hence, one needs to know the right measures and the correct time of its function.

When you start with birth control contraceptive pills, you need to know it doesn’t work straight away, it requires time. Women can consider using estrogen and progestin pills or only progestin-based solutions. 

The combination works well and starts to give protection after 5 days. One who starts it during the mid-week need to have some backup for 7-14 days. When you start with only progestin tablets, you get protected after 48 hours from the first consumption. 

4. Light spotting

There are chances that you might end up experiencing a small amount of bleeding which is common when you start with contraceptives. For the first few months, it is nothing that one should bother about. Also, there are possibilities that you might skip atleast a single cycle and this is something that one should check with an expert. If any abnormal symptoms occur, females need to seek help. 

5. Daily responsibility

When it comes to consuming contraceptive pills, one needs to know it is 99% effective if women do follow the right responsibility. One has to consume this medicine regularly at the same time to achieve the right results. Ofcourse, during the initial stage, you might forget but slowly you will get used to it and follow the right guidance. 

There is no need to panic even if you miss it, one can consider consuming it as soon as one remembers.  Women just need to be away of different contraceptive methods that are the right solution to the problem and improve the condition.
