Using contraceptives during pregnancy can harm the baby.
1 of 4
Women during pregnancy generally worry that intake of contraceptives during pregnancy will harm the expectant baby. However, it is not true. Recent research could find no connection between intake of contraceptives and adverse effect on the unborn baby. Intake of birth control pills, according to doctors, usually, does not affect the child.
Intake of birth control pills, over a period of time, can cause infertility.
2 of 4
Any practice if followed for a long period of time entails certain disadvantages and the same is true for birth control pills. However, the dreaded eventuality of infertility is absolutely untrue. When you discontinue having birth control pills, it may disrupt your menstrual cycle but fear of supposed infertility is completely unfounded.
Which among these is the minimum time any birth control pill takes to operate?
3 of 4
This period is applicable if the intake of the pill is begun at any time of the menstrual period. If the pills are started before the fifth day of the period, one need not wait for 7 days for its effect to begin.
Using contraceptives during the "safe time" is redundant.
4 of 4
A woman's menstrual cycle determines when she is most fertile and when she is not. The latter is deemed as a "safe" time to have sex without contraceptives since chances of conception are minimal. This entire cycle is governed by the delicate working of four hormones viz. luteinizing hormone, progesterone, estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone. Disturbance in the working of these hormones, due to multiple factors like stress or certain medications changes the entire set paradigm of "safe" and "unsafe" time.
