5 Common Myths About Contraception Busted
4. If you have been on pills for a long time, you can’t get immediately pregnant after leaving them
This is one myth that many couples have. If the woman has been on pills for a long time and if she stops taking them, then the couple thinks that they don’t need contraception for a month or two because she can’t get pregnant that soon after the pills. The fact is that she can get pregnant anytime. So it’s wiser not to take the risk.
5. If you have sex during periods, then it’s completely safe
When it comes to pregnancy and contraception, it’s never completely safe. If a woman has very irregular periods, then there’s some chance that she may get pregnant. So it’s better not to take such risks.
Rather than blindly believing in what your friends tell you, you should aim to garner true knowledge so as to gain proper understanding about these things. You should talk to your doctor/gynecologist/general physician openly about such matters.
