Do you need to take birth control if I am going to be sexually active?
No. There is no correlation whatsoever between me taking birth control and you doing whatever it is you consider doing.
Is there a risk in going on and off birth control?
Then you can expect to be fertile off and on - if you are sexually active you can count on getting pregnantsooner or later.
Is it safe to fluctuate between going on and going off the pill?
I can think of no medical problems, however you are not going to be protected from prgnancy. If you are sexually active and don't want to be pregnant, stay on some form of birth control.
Is it okay for your body to stop birth control for a couple months then start a different type of pill?
Sure, but if you're going to be sexually active during the two months, it'd make more sense to start the new pill immediately.
Can I take my birth control pills every other day to delay my period I am on vacation for a month and am not sexually active but I don't want to get my period now?
Taking the pill every other day is most likely going to cause breakthrough bleeding. You should ask your doctor about skipping the "inactive" sugar pills and starting the new packet, the day after finishing the last active pill. This is the way pills are taken to delay your period and will also continue to prevent pregnancy should you become sexually active.
How can you not get pregnant on your first time?
You can NEVER guarantee that you won't become pregnant if you have sex. BUT you can reduce your chances by using birth control. A condom used correctly will help. You should also consider using birth control pills if you are going to become sexually active. If you decide to have sex, you must understand that you can become pregnant, even if you use birth control. Don't have sex unless you are ready to accept the responsibilities that come with it. If you are still in school, you may want to wait until you are financially and emotionally capable of handling an unplanned pregancy. Also, don't forget that sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) are also a concern. Be careful!
What if a person misses a period while on birth control?
Birth control is not always effective. Missed pills, certain medicines and herbal supplements can decrease effectiveness. Take a home pregnancy test to detect one way or the other. If you miss it again next month call your doctor, your dose may not be correct for you.

If a 13-year-old girl found condoms and birth control in her 18-year-old sister's bedroom who still lives at home what should she do?
Leave them where she found them. In almost all states, 18 is over the age of consent. And if she is going to be sexually active, at least she's smart enough to be using both birth control and condoms. Also, birth control doesnt necessarily mean she is having sex. Many people take it for medical reasons or even to reduce acne or cramps. No need to jump to conclusions. If you are really bothered by this, you might want to talk to a parent or your sister about it.
Can you stop use the patch control if you will not be sexually active for the next few months?
yeah... you can stop the patch if your not going to have sex, and then just go back on it again when you are sexually active again. when your starting to have sex again just go back on the patch, wait the suggested time it takes for the patch to kick in, you can still have sex during the time when the patch is ineffective but wear a condom and you should be fine.

Can you get sti if stop using birth control?
Only some forms of birth control are effective against sexually transmitted diseases/infections. If you've been using one of those and you stop, you're more likely to contract an STD/STI. If you've been using birth control pills, stopping isn't going to have much of an impact on whether you get an infection or not (except to the extent that you may be more careful about choosing your sexual partners).
