i have been on it before few a good few months and then my doc took me off it to see if i can have periods on my own wich i have since then every month

i asked her a few months ago if i could go back on as i lost a bit of weight takin it and thought it might help to lose more, her reply was no as she doesnt want me takin it for that cause she didnt think that it made me lose any weight before and cause of my size dont like big people goin on it in general

but i want to take it for at least a month as contraception, knowin her reason for not goin back on it full time does any one know if it will matter takin it for just one month? surely it cant hurt? and if i did take it again does it protect u from getin pregnant from day one that u take it?

usually birth control pills need a few months to change our bodies hormonal system to prevent pregnancies. If you get it for only one month, your body won't be able to make the necessary adjustments in time to properly prevent pregnancy. for short term contraception, condoms are cheapest and easiest.

what if you ask her for a trial of 3 months with the option that she test your blood pressure regularly and if she has other concerns about your health she could also monitor those?

No metformin does not make your pill not work, and as long as you take the pill from the FIRST DAY of your period, you are covered with the contraception.

As for your dr not wanting to put you on the pill again because of blood pressure....what would she prefer....you getting pregnant?!

I would maybe ask her what other alternatives she might have for you - another kind of pill perhaps or an implant....there's got to be other ways to protect yourself and she should advise you.
