I am thinking about getting birth control because my period cramps are getting worse (originally it would be really bad the first day and then die out...now they are three days plus major mood swings and nausea ). I ve been getting a lot of mixed responses about getting it though. Someone told me that because I never had sex, it will be harder for me to have kids in the future (meaning that I go off the pill and try and have kids, it will be harder). Don t know how that works but figured I d ask just to make sure. Also, because I ve never had sex, I ve never been to an OBGYN to do pap smears or anything like that. Will I need to do that before I start taking birth control? Hugs, kisses, and thanks! Hey thanks for all the comments thus far. Just wanted to let you know that I always planned to go to an OB and yes I ll discuss with it my parents (granted, I am twenty years old, haha) but they ll understand why I am taking it and won t think I am getting it to have random sex.
