Your Top 13 Questions About the Pill ?? Answered

Maybe you're thinking about having s3x for the first time. Or maybe you're already having s3x, but are considering other forms of birth control and protection besides condoms. Or maybe your doctor recommended you look into the pill to help regulate your period or even clear up your skin. The pill has perks, for sure — but you might be worried your parents won't be on board, or you might have heard some girls say the pill makes them "crazy." And then there's your friend's cousin's sorority sister who was on the pill and still got pregnant… 

Going on the pill is a big decision, and there's no right or wrong solution that works for everyone. Here, Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president of external medical affairs at Planned Parenthood, and Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News chief women's health correspondent and ob-gyn, answer your biggest, most burning questions about the pill. 

1. Do you have to let your parents know you're going on the pill?
If you can talk to your parents (or even just your mom) about going on the pill, you should. You talk to them about getting your annual flu shot and dealing with your migraines — this is just as important. Your parents probably want to weigh in on the decision, and if you're on their health insurance, they may find out anyway. "Your parents don't technically have to know," Dr. Cullins says. "However, if you're on your parents' health insurance and you use their health insurance to go on the pill, then your parents are more than likely to know." As uncomfortable as the convo may be, your parents will probably appreciate that you came to them first rather than going behind their back, and it's a good sign that you're mature enough to handle taking the pill.

If you're absolutely dead set against looping in your parents, there is a way to still get the pill. Dr. Cullins points out that you can visit your local Planned Parenthood clinic. "In most cases, you can go on the pill and you won't have to pay anything," she says. "It's income-based, so if you're an adolescent without income, then you're not going to have to pay." For an exact price, call ahead to see how what (if anything) your local clinic will charge you. 

2. Do you need a prescription to get the pill? If so, who needs to write it?
Unless you choose to get the pill at Planned Parenthood, you need a prescription from a doctor. Any licensed medical practitioner can write your prescription as long as they feel comfortable, Dr. Cullins says. 

To get a prescription, make an appointment with your regular doctor (whether that's a pediatrician or a primary care physician for adults) or your gynecologist, if you have one. Gynecologists, by the way, are doctors who specialize in the female reproductive system. Dr. Cullins recommends you make your first gyno appointment at age 15, even if you're totally healthy and aren't sexually active.  

3. When can you start taking the pill?
The majority of doctors will not prescribe the pill to a girl who hasn't yet started her period. "You only need the pill if you're able to become pregnant, and you're only able to become pregnant after you've reached puberty," Dr. Cullins says.

Once you've begun menstruating, you can ask your doctor for a prescription for the pill regardless of whether you're sexually active. "More than half of my teenage patients on the pill are on the pill for non-contraceptive reasons," says Dr. Ashton. In addition to contraceptive purposes, a doctor might prescribe you the pill to help regulate your periods or improve your skin.

4. Does the pill make your period more regular?
There's nothing more frustrating than getting your period by surprise when you don't have a tampon or pad on hand. And if you're sexually active, it can be terribly stressful to wait days or weeks for your period to come, especially if you've had unprotected sex. When you're on the pill, your body will adjust over time so your period will eventually arrive like clockwork. You'll eventually be able to predict the exact day on which you'll start to bleed, so you'll always be prepared.

One important FYI: It's not like you can pop a single pill and automatically have regular periods. "It usually takes a little bit of time — weeks, months," Dr. Cullins explains. "It might even take over a year or so before you start having perfectly regular periods." That said, not every irregular period needs to be set straight by the pill. If you started menstruating in the past two years, it's 100 percent normal to have an unpredictable cycle, so definitely talk to your doctor about whether the pill might be right for you. 

5. Does the pill make you gain weight?
You might have heard horror stories about girls who gain tons of weight, but Dr. Ashton says that's an exaggeration. "There are no calories in the pill," she jokes. "The pill contains exactly the same hormones that your body naturally makes, just in different amounts." On average, you can expect to gain between 1 and 3 pounds. Key word: average. Some people gain a little more, and some gain no weight at all. 

6. Does it make your boobs bigger?
This is sort of an old-fashioned myth. When the pill first was approved by the FDA in the 1960s, it was packed with estrogen that really did increase your bust size, Dr. Cullins says. Today's version of the pill features lower doses of estrogen, which means it's safer (yay!) and has slightly different side effects. Since the modern pill doesn't directly or reliably lead to bigger boobs, it's not worth going on birth control just for the possible boost in cup size. That's what push-up bras are for!

7. Does it clear up your skin?
Oftentimes, yes! In fact, the pill can be such a boss at banishing zits that doctors often prescribe it to girls who struggle with acne. The pill gives your body extra estrogen, which suppresses androgen, the hormone that causes extra oil production. More estrogen = fewer pimples, in some cases. Not every version of the pill will necessarily clear your skin though. The FDA has approved three types of the pill for acne treatment — Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Estrostep, and YAZ. (Other types of the pill might improve your acne, but haven't been approved by the FDA specifically for this purpose.)  If better skin is your primary reason for going on the pill, make sure you communicate that to your doctor, and ask for a version that contains both estrogen and progestin. 

Keep in mind: Even the right pill is not necessarily a cure-all for acne. Some girls find that it clears their skin completely, while others find it simply reduces the number or intensity of pimples. How can you know which camp you'll fall into? "It depends on how bad your acne is," Dr. Cullins explains. "Different people have different degrees." Also, don't freak out if the pill doesn't give you perfect skin overnight. Like any acne medication, it can take a few months for acne to improve. And if your skin gets temporarily worse, that's par for the course too. "There can be an initial flare before things improve," Dr. Ashton says. "Sometimes things can get a little worse before they get better. It's usually just a matter of finding the right pill for the right person and giving things some time."

8. Will the pill cause mood swings?
You might have heard that the pill can make people feel not quite like themselves — like maybe there's a rain cloud over their heads, or they're normal one minute and depressed the next. While there's some anecdotal evidence, studies have repeatedly shown that the pill actually doesn't mess with your moods. "The pill is no more likely to cause any problems with depression or anxiety than Motrin or Aleve," Dr. Cullins says. "Mood swings are just a part of life. Studies show that mood swings aren't any more common for people on the pill." 

That said, it's important to find a method of birth control that keeps you comfortable. If one version of the pill gives you weird side effects (even if you think it's just a coincidence), there's no harm in talking to your doctor about switching to a different version.

9. How soon after starting the pill is it safe to have sex without a condom?
If you're sexually active, you absolutely need to use a back-up form of birth control (like condoms) in addition to the pill for the first several days. The exact length depends on where you are in your menstrual cycle when you begin taking it. "If you start the pill within one to five days of beginning your menstrual cycle (starting to bleed), then you're really protected right away," Dr. Cullins says. That's because the pill takes at least seven days to kick in and become effective. If you did not start taking the pill within one to five days of beginning your period, you should definitely use condoms for the first seven days of your pill pack.

No matter where you are in your cycle when you start taking the pill, though, it's a smart idea to continue using condoms at least for the first full month, if not indefinitely. Why?

  1. The pill doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections, so unless you and your partner have both tested negative for STIs, you should still be using condoms, anyway. 
  2. The best way to prevent pregnancy is to use an effective birth control method (like the pill) plus a condom. That way, you're protected from STIs and have two methods of protection against pregnancy.
  3.  Taking the pill every day is just like building any other habit — it takes awhile to get into the swing of it. The last thing you want to do is forget it for a day or two and not have a back-up method of birth control in place. 

10. How important is it to take the pill at the exact same time every day?
The pill is an incredibly effective form of birth control if (and only if) taken correctly. If taken at the same time every day, less than 1 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year — it's more than 99 percent effective. But when it isn't taken at the same time every day, chances of pregnancy rocket up to 9 out of 100 women a year.  "You can be off an hour or two, but you need to have a constant level of hormones for at least 24 hours, and that constant level of hormone is usually only effective for about 24 hours," Dr. Cullins says. This is especially important if you're taking a low-estrogen, progestin-only, or mini version of the pill, all of which are more sensitive.

Try taking the pill in conjunction with another activity you do at the same time every day, like brushing your teeth or eating dinner to help you remember. Still worried about forgetting? Set a daily alarm on your phone.

11. What should you do if you miss the pill?
It depends on how many hours or days have gone by since your last dose. Here's what Dr. Cullins recommends:

If you missed taking the pill by a few hours and you're sexually active: Take the pill as soon as you remember and take the next pill on time. 

If you missed taking the pill by a day and you're sexually active: Take the pill that you've missed and the pill you're supposed to take that day at the same time. Then use a back-up form of birth control (like condoms) for at least the next five days. If you forget to use a condom, you can get Plan B (an emergency contraceptive pill) over-the-counter at a pharmacy. 

If you missed taking the pill and are not sexually active: Do not take multiple pills. Skip the ones you missed and continue from there. You might experience some intermittent bleeding or spotting between your periods for the next month or two. If you do decide to become sexually active, use a condom for at least the next five days. 

12. Is it safe to take the pill alongside other medications?
For young women who are generally healthy, Dr. Cullins says this is fine. "The only medicines that may make the pill less effective are the antibiotic rifampin (other antibiotics do not affect the pill), an antifungal medicine called griseofulvin, and certain HIV and anti-seizure medicines," she says. "The supplement St. John's Wort also can make it less effective." Still, it's a good idea to alert your doctor to the fact you're on the pill before beginning any new medications — just in case!

13. Is it safe to take the pill when drinking alcohol?
"We're not trying to encourage people to drink alcohol, but it doesn't affect the ability of the pill to prevent pregnancy," Dr. Cullins says. Of course, be aware that you're likely to have more difficulty remembering to take the pill on time if you're drinking.

  2. Narrow grip push-ups are one of the best bodyweight workout for constructing your whole upper physique,
    including shoulders, chest, and triceps. Like flat dumbbell press, incline dumbbell press permits you to improve the range of movement you’d usually use on barbell bench press.

    The pecs, or pectoralis major, is what we know as the chest and is
    a big, fan-shaped muscle. The chest (pec major) is composed of two muscle heads, typically thought of as
    the higher and decrease chest. These muscle heads work together to perform rotation and pushing actions, just like
    the bench press. This train can also help improve bone density, enhance
    metabolism, and enhance general higher body health and fitness.

    Did you realize that targeting your internal chest can really improve posture and contribute to a more
    balanced upper body strength? Keep reading to find how these fastidiously chosen exercises can rework your training routine.

    With that mentioned, body weight chest workout routines that actually
    isolate the pecs permit you to put enough load on the muscle tissue for energy and size positive aspects.
    Additionally generally identified as Squeeze Press, Hex Press is probably one of the most popular internal chest workouts.

    However, when you can carry out this traditional bodyweight exercise, you have probably
    the greatest chest workout routines at your disposal.
    For many people, dumbbells are preferable to a barbell in this train. Not only because it might be easier to get
    into place with them, but in addition as a outcome of they might allow a longer range of motion, which is probably
    going positive for your pec muscle development.

    The other one bends and extends with you to assist push your
    physique back-up.And then from there, you’ll have the
    ability to carry out the complete fly however with your
    hands positioned nearer to your knees to lower the load.
    Over time, you can lengthen the lever and improve the load placed on the chest by performing the movement along with your arms additional out ahead out of your knees.

    That’s why I’ve designed the X-Factor Meal Plan that accompanies each certainly one of our ATHLEAN-X
    applications to be chock filled with meals you’ll love so that you’ll by no means feel deprived.
    The plan helps both building muscle mass and dropping physique fats and is customizable to your tastes, goals and dietary restrictions.
    All types of dips hit the chest heavily, but on chest day, it is price ensuring you
    are doing dips that emphasize the pecs. Put your ft up behind you, lean ahead so far as potential, and permit your
    elbows to flare out barely as you dip.
    That’s as a result of muscle tissue burns extra energy than fat tissue does.
    So as you strengthen your pecs and construct more muscle, you’ll burn more energy.
    The excellent news is that you don’t want expensive machines or a fitness
    center membership to put together a strong chest workout. A set of dumbbells is a superb
    complement to barbells for a chest workout. However, you can even simply
    create an at-home chest exercise with just dumbbells.
    The machine often has adjustable settings, so you probably can set the peak of the pulley and the
    quantity of weight resistance.
    In order to maximise the effect on the inner chest, there
    are a few things to remember. In geek converse, every sarcomere of
    muscle fibril will contract with each rep of these chest-focused workouts.
    But you can put added emphasis in your inner chest with the right exercises.
    Certain, you can’t actually isolate your “internal chest”—but these exercises will assist accomplish your higher body goals.
    This train may be accomplished from an upright standing
    place, bent over standing position, or with
    a bench set up subsequent to the cable machine in a lying position. This variation of the essential cable fly adds a
    bit extra shoulder and decrease chest, whereas still emphasizing the inside chest – or in other words, the lower-inner chest.

    In summary, the incline dumbbell press is a great chest exercise, permitting an extended vary of
    movement in a steady place, for a big portion of your pec muscle fibers.
    Different functions of your pecs are to adduct your upper arm (bring it closer to your side),
    and to internally rotate it (like in arm wrestling).
    Thus, workout routines that target your chest muscles often additionally prepare your entrance
    deltoids. They target your arms, chest, and core,
    serving as one of the environment friendly body weight movements you are in a position to
    do.
    To take a look at more of the best resistance band workout routines for chest, take a glance at my article,
    Resistance Band Chest Workout. In addition to the Barbell Flat Bench Press and the Horizontal Cable Crossover I confirmed you above, I’ve obtained a pair more favorite workouts for mid chest.
    The most essential consider shedding body fats is vitamin, and that’s positively the best place to begin out.

    Diets are momentary, and I’m certain you need to lose your chest fats for good.
    You’ll need to work to reduce back total bodyfat in order to lose
    your chest fat as a end result of there is no method to
    spot scale back fat in only one particular space of the body.

    These exercises are sure to problem you and allow you to obtain superb outcomes.
    If you want to improve your chest strength, push-ups are
    simply what the physician (in physical therapy) ordered.
    Skip the heavy weights to concentrate on muscle definition to realize one of the sought-after aesthetic targets.
    Narrowing your hand spacing is a straightforward method to goal the internal pecs with a push-up.
    There are many variations of push-ups for the inner
    chest, corresponding to the Slim Grip Push-Up and Diamond Push-Up.

    By understanding how to discover your line of pull, you’ll be able to tailor your exercises to maximize the development of this space and achieve a more balanced and sculpted
    chest overall. Push-up handles not only enhance the ergonomics of the
    push-up and cut back stress and pressure on your wrist however additionally they could probably be used to increase the issue of the exercise.

    It’s also essential to use a weight that lets you keep control throughout the entire
    vary of motion. This exercise includes both the higher and decrease divisions
    of the pectoralis main, the large muscle overlaying the chest.

    The pectoralis minor, a small muscle located on the higher chest, is covered by the pectoralis major.
    The higher and decrease portions of the trapezius situated in the mid-upper
    again be part of the serratus anterior in upward rotation of the scapula.
    Research has shown that a minimum of for the bench press, utilizing a wide reverse grip boosts higher chest activation by about 30% when compared to a standard grip.

    Nicely, that is as a outcome of you’re now incorporating more shoulder flexion into
    the movement and higher aligning the tension with the
    upper chest fibres. You use your pecs throughout most day by day movements — anything
    that includes pushing, pulling, or carrying.
    Cable flyes are a versatile exercise with numerous benefits that can significantly enhance your chest day routine.
    One of the first advantages of cable flyes is their exceptional chest activation potential.
    In Distinction To many other chest exercises, cable flyes let you keep constant pressure in your chest
    muscular tissues all through the complete vary of motion. As you
    bring your palms collectively at chest stage in the course of
    the exercise, you’ll experience an intense contraction within the chest area, emphasizing the inner chest.
    You see, there are so many extra chest exercises that can allow you to swell your pecs.

    Abduction is what aliens do, they take one thing away from Earth, so adduction is bringing it
    back in the direction of your self. Your pecs deliver your arms back in the path of your body (technically
    the midline of the body, however you get it. Any time you want to work
    out a selected a part of your physique it’s
    essential to study what it does and how it works so as to really get probably the most of your workout.
    Some widespread faults to avoid when performing this train embody permitting your elbows to flare out to the sides,
    arching your back excessively, and utilizing momentum
    to lift the weights.. Depending on the angle at which you convey your arm ahead, totally different
    muscle fibers of the pecs will work roughly.
    You aren’t simply doing the urgent portion of the exercise—you’re additionally
    adding within the all-important cross-body movement talked about above.
    This version of the movement is carried out unilaterally (one side
    at a time), with an emphasis on the upper-inner pec region. Nevertheless, emphasis is placed on bringing the
    resistance further across the body and past the midline,
    thus extending the vary of movement to force an intense peak contraction in the
    internal pec. Flip your press to chisel your pecs with this tough cable machine or banded exercise.
    You’ll create a ton of pressure utilizing your abs, decrease again muscular tissues, and glutes to remain stable—then carve out your pecs with the presses.

    Similar to the hex press however with a plate, and usually performed standing upright (but can be
    accomplished from a seated or incline bench position).
    This train is nice for burnouts/conditioning or ending actions.

    Also, by honing in on only one side, you’ll be able to iron out some asymmetries.
    Whereas horizontal presses from a lying position (supine or pushup) are nice for strength, when you think
    about it, the standing chest press is the most functional kind of horizontal press you can do.

    I’m Pat Chadwick, a professional Stage 2 and Level 3 calisthenics coach and authorized personal coach from London,
    England. I have over six years of expertise training students specifically within the art of calisthenics.

    I’ve competed in numerous UK competitions, including the Kalos Stenos Championships,
    where I achieved third place in the light-weight category.

    My ardour is highlighting the good thing about calisthenics as an genuine
    and pure form of physique expression.
    These 7 exercises are glorious examples of how to cover the often-neglected inner chest actions.

    If you fit these into your workout routines you’ll start seeing results in no time.
    The coracobrachialis is a small muscle positioned deep underneath the deltoid and pectoralis main muscles.
    The trapezius is a large muscle overlaying the middle higher back, and
    only the upper and decrease portions are involved in upward rotation of
    the scapula. This train also involves the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii,
    which covers the entire again of the upper arm.
    There must be far more to your chest muscle exercises than stacking
    plates onto a barbell and urgent into infinity—that can be a recipe for main issues down the line.

    For the machine, you don’t need a spotter and might extra safely push the depth and reach true muscle failure.
    To target the middle of the chest, it’s necessary
    to include workout routines that isolate this area specifically.

    Some effective workouts for targeting the center chest include incline
    dumbbell flyes, cable crossovers, and the dumbbell pullover.
    Different muscles involved in the decline press embody the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior.
    The pectoralis minor is a small muscle covered by the pectoralis major.

    This unilateral chest transfer emphasizes shoulder adduction,
    one of many primary actions of the pec main. Higher body
    energy, elevated bone well being, larger pushing energy, and total joint well
    being are improved via flat bench presses with a barbell.
    Since the dumbbell flat bench press engages a range of stabilizing muscles, it’s best for
    activating muscle fibers all through the physique.
    The barbell incline bench press is similar to the dumbbell
    incline bench press, working largely the identical muscle groups with an emphasis
    on the higher pectoral region.
    Excessive to low cable crossovers have been shown in a couple of studies, like this one by Schanke et al., to be just as
    efficient as the bench press at activating the pecs.
    Over time, with inadequate volume in other planes of motion (incline or decline for example), this could lead
    to an “imbalanced chest”. Thus, in relation to creating an attractive chest, symmetry
    becomes more essential than sheer size. That Means it’s important that you
    just goal and practice each portion of your chest appropriately.
    By including a resistance band, we add a twist—and much more tension—to this
    conventional chest-building staple.
    Secondly, the strain is completely different from that of a dumbbell, barbell or any other free weight.
    This is as a result of cable machines present a flat resistance curve, somewhat
    than an ascending or descending strength curve. So, a cable fly or press will be equally as onerous on the prime quality as it
    is in the backside of the range, whereas with dumbbells, it’s hardest in the stretched place.

    Chest could additionally be one of the most incessantly educated muscular tissues by most people.
    But it’s sadly also the one muscle group that individuals tend
    to have the most trouble developing. In addition, there’s an inclination for the majority of people
    to overly give attention to flat pressing movements (e.g.
    barbell bench press).
    “This is a superb train to implement into your program, giving your upper body push routine some selection,” Shannon says.
    Advantages of the flat bench press embody increased
    higher physique energy, improved chest and tricep muscle size and definition, and
    improved overall upper physique aesthetics. It can also assist
    enhance posture, bone density, and general higher physique practical strength.
    Nevertheless, it’s necessary to make use of proper kind and begin with a manageable weight to keep away from damage and maximize benefits.

    We can do that by making sure we select workouts that comply with the varying orientations of the higher, mid and lower chest fibers.

    There is a LOT extra to chest coaching than you could think, particularly if you’ve found your pecs are slow to develop.
    There are dozens of exercises you could do on chest day, but you probably do not wish to spend your Monday—aka International
    Chest Day—doing all of them. You simply wish to know the best workouts to build a
    muscular chest, so we’ve accomplished the work to match them for you.
    It comes into play when lifting heavier weights, for example, when transferring things across the
    house, so common pec workouts are essential for optimal health.

    Your typical program consists of an enormous, compound train or workouts followed by isolation exercise, or workouts.

    For this specific method, though, you’re going to relax out on the
    big lifts and double down on the smaller ones.
    Isolation workouts are a nice way to hyper-focus and 0 in on one specific muscle,
    in addition to faucet into smaller, extra discreet muscle fibers.
    This exercise hits all the best marks—without the bells and whistles of
    other unconventional pec moves. Put in the work, and it’ll put the ending touches in your upper
    body. The components that create a shredded internal chest look include
    constructing the inside portion of the muscle, together with slicing to relatively low physique fat to reveal the muscle beneath.

    This motion also enhances shoulder stability and functional power, making it
    a priceless addition to your routine. This exercise mimics the flat bench dumbbell fly, however again, it offers fixed tension throughout.

    You might be utilizing a barely higher pulley anchor point than the center fly and you will be maintaining your arms up and elevating them up just like an incline bench.

    The cable fly is an isolation exercise for the pecs and front deltoids, that are the
    same muscles activated with a flat bench dumbbell fly. The distinction with cables
    is the resistance curve is flat with cables, so that you
    get a relentless load on your pecs throughout the entire vary.

    When you perform a push-up, your arms act as levers, and your body weight creates a
    pressure that presses down on your chest. The additional away your palms are out of your physique,
    the higher the lever arm and the more power is utilized to your chest muscular tissues.
    It has been shown in a quantity of research to be the most effective
    train at activating the chest.
