Birth control pills can be expensive and a hassle to take, but they do have one distinct advantage: They prevent one night of sex from turning into a lifetime of parenthood. That benefit seems worth the price of admission.
I mean, you're not ready to be accountable for the health, safety and well-being of a chubby, bald, drooling little human being...at least besides your partner. But the question remains: Are birth control pills actually worth the hassle? The controversies go much deeper than price.
Birth Control Pills – The Advantages
Most notably of all, birth control pills allow you to take control of your reproductive system. You can have a child when you're ready, and not a moment sooner. There are, of course, other means of contraception, most notably condom use, but that's an issue that you'll need to discuss with your partner.
Birth Control Pills – The Disadvantages
If you notice other side effects, though, such as splitting headaches, chest pain, vision changes or leg swelling, the MayoClinic recommends that you stop using the pill immediately and speak to your doctor. The “normal” side effects should typically fade away after about three months, but if they do not, that can be problematic as well.
So Are They Worth It?
But every woman is different, so you need to determine how the pills impact you. Yes, that answer may sound like a bit of a cop out, but this isn't “I Love Lucy,” and very few things in life are black and white.
