i’d read about your fertility first before putting any hormones in your body… you can do things like drinking certain teas and changes in your diet instead… read this book called cycle savvy if you are a teenager… or taking charge of your fertility by toni weschler…
there are other, less invasive and body changing things you can do. your fertility cycle is a very special thing! do the research. i’m glad you are already! but make sure to make an informed decision and don’t feel pressured to go on any prescription, especially one that changes your hormones.
Taking the pill will help your balance of hormones (which helps clear your face of acne). It regulates your period and decreases your chances of ovarian and cervical cancer. Taking the pill doesn’t neccesarily mean that you have to be sexually active. Some side effects are nausea and hairloss but it depends on person to person. If a certain pill doesn’t work for you, your dermatologist will replace it with something else. I hope this helps.
Don’t worry about randomly bleeding. You period will come on time (it won’t be late or early) if you’re on the pill. It’s usually a day or two after you finish the whole cycle of pills.
