How important is it for me to manage my Birth Control?
Birth control medication is a safe, simple, and convenient way to prevent pregnancy. It also has other benefits like reducing acne, making your periods regular, and easing menstrual cramps. It’s effectiveness, however, is predicated upon you taking the medication every day, or you might not be protected from pregnancy. Also, like most medications, birth control pills can have side effects.

It is imperative, however, that you do not stop taking the pill before you start a new method or you’ll be at risk of pregnancy.
