Questions from a reader
Q. What happens if you take the Pill while you're pregnant?
A. First off don't be alarmed! There is no conclusive evidence that exposure to the artificial hormones found in birth control pills will hurt an unborn child. However, it is advised that you stop using your birth control pills if you suspect that you are pregnant. Purchase a pregnacy test at your local drugstore or see your doctor right away to confirm your suspicions.
Q. Will the results from a pregnancy test be correct if you're taking the Pill?
A. The results will be correct. Pregnancy tests work by measuring the pregnancy-related hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your blood or urine. The active ingredients found in birth control pills won't affect the level of HCG in your system.

I started taking Femcon Fe 2 months ago and seemed to be tolerating well. However, in August, I started having some numbness/tingling in my hands and feet, difficulty walking, spastic "jerky" movements, etc. The docs have ran multiple tests (MRIs, vascular studies, lab work) and are "baffled" as to a diagnosis. The only thing that has changed in my normal routine is this pill. I have no idea if this is the cause, but I stopped taking the pill on Tuesday and symptoms are already improving. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
How would a minor be able to purchase birth control pills? is going through her parents the only way?
From searching the Web I found that there are no laws in any state that require parental consent or notification if someone under the age of 18 wants to get birth control.
If you have a Planned Parenthood clinic in your area go see the people there. You will most likely have to go in and speak with someone before they prescibe anything for you.
