Can I take the contraceptive pill if I've only just stopped smoking?

Question

I'm at a pretty young age, half way through my teens, and iv only just quit smoking , I'm going on 'the pill' to stop me from getting pregnant because of the close relationship me and my boyfriend now have. But, a family member may be coming with me to get this pill and I honestly don't want them to know that I used to smoke. Iv completely stopped smoking because I want to take this pill and I know the risks such as blood clot, strokes ect. Am I okay to take the contraception pill now that I have quit? Thanks! -I quit only two days ago, never thinking of smoking again.

Answer 1

Be honest with your doctor - the fact you've quit will reduce risks but it's still a factor the doctor needs to know about, also you could consider other options that don't involved hormones such as a copper IUD (which is the most recommended option as they're 99+% effective with few risks and no forgetting pills). If you're set on getting hormonal birth control and don't want your family member to know that you used to smoke then ask them to wait outside or step out while you let your doctor know, no big deal.



Talking as an ex smoker - depending on how you quit it is probable that you may return to smoking again, and as someone who suffered multiple strokes in my teens on the pill I can tell you it's not worth the risk. If you do struggle staying smoke-free I highly recommend Easyway as it's the most effective method.

Answer 2

It depends on a lot of things. Some smokers can, others can't. And two days is not long enough to stop risks. There is also a high chance that you'll go back to smoking again, because it's so addictive.



You have to tell your doctor. Yahoo answers is not the best place for medical advice, and you should never take any answer as actual medical advice.



Just ask your uncle to step outside the room when you tell the doctor. It's not a big deal.

Don't smoke. Smoking ages your ovaries and depletes your eggs prematurely. If you smoke, ask your health care provider to help you quit before conception.

Don't drink alcohol. Research suggests that drinking alcohol appears to decrease fertility and can harm a developing baby. Generally, it's best to avoid alcohol if you're hoping to conceive.

Don't take medication without your health care provider's OK. Certain medications — even those available without a prescription — can make it difficult to conceive. Others might not be safe once you're pregnant.

Don't depend on vaginal lubricants. Various over-the-counter vaginal lubricants can decrease fertility. Saliva can have the same effect. If you need a lubricant, consider mineral oil or canola oil — or ask your doctor for other suggestions.

Don't overdo strenuous exercise. Although moderate physical activity can help promote fertility, going overboard might have the opposite effect. Some research suggests that five or more hours a week of vigorous aerobic activity can actually impair the fertility of a woman who isn't overweight.

Answer 4

Maybe.



*It's in your best interest to fully disclose your habits to your doctor. So she can make sure you're ok. They aren't there to judge,it's just that you will get the best personal care from your doctor if she's well informed.



She might suggest another type of birth control for now that doesn't come with those particular set of risks until you've been smoke free for some time.

Of course you should consult a doctor, but yes you can. You'll be fine.

Answer 7

According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, vodka dries one's brains. Smoking is censer for the devil. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as aliens. Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings, cosmetics, certain foods and drinks, etc. contain nanochips and cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession. If a dog is present in house or church, then the Holy Spirit will leave. Foul language calls upon Pagan deities (demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. Blood contains sins; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself. Raw celandine (juice) cures cancer in minute amounts (like eating a leaf a day for 10 days, taking a break for 10 days, repeating three times); store this raw juice in dark glass container in a fridge for up to 2 or 3 years; add only hot water if you don't want to drink it cold; collect older celandine that is at least 20 meters away from the river from morning until 3 PM. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Chanting mantras leads to demon possession; it's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Meditation, hypnosis, astral projection, etc. lead to demon possession. Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Oral, anal, masturbation, porn, fornication, adultery, fetishes, cross dressing, etc. lead to demon possession. Sionists want to be the only white people. So, they promote contraceptives (early abortion), interracial marriage, homosexuality, abortion (aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years and a demon is freed from hell), etc. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Sionists want to attack Iran. So, they need an excuse, which will be the Statue of Liberty. New Sodom (New York) will be flooded after an explosion in the sea; New Gomorah (Los Angeles) will follow after. Look at what Seraphim Rose had to endure. He was a homosexual, but repented. Now, he is one the great saints of the Orthodox Church. Pray to Seraphim Rose; he'll help you. youtube.com/watch?v=94rcOVJBMYQ Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. youtube.com/watch?v=8dub8PF2d8E Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners (released by the antichrist) 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you. Stay away from cats because one can receive mark of the beast because of cats. Pray the Jesus prayer slowly all the time: "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner". Sleep fully clothed; also, pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Dress appropriately for your gender. Women wear non-revealing dresses and head-scarfs tied at the front; no pants and no hats for women. Men wear pants and hats (outside only, except priests). Don't get any tattoos. Reject new documents and vaccines. Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. Get rid of all Occult stuff (ouija boards, talismans, amulets, barcodes, skulls, masks, astrology books, tarot cards, etc.). To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "The LORD is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Forgive me. :)
