Mostly it was because of religion. People would only have sex to get pregnant (or that's the only reason you should back then, not that it didn't happen for pleasure of course...) but sex wasn't nearly as casual as it is today. Also Birth Control was seen as a manner of murdering children or 'obstructing god's work'. Sex wasn't talked about, it was something private, not a subject to be discussed.
Yes, so it's important to use protection such as condoms or the Birth Control pill.
To get the full protection from pregnancy.
You can start your birth control the Sunday after your period.
You need birth control so you do not get pregnant also to thin out your period or help with cramps
Pharmacies are the only place you can get a birth control pill. So yes.
You can switch forms of birth control to what is most comfortable for you. If you would like to switch birth control consult your physician so that she/he can choose a birth control pill that is right for you.
no. birth control stimulates your hormones so you do not ovulate while having sex.
There is no reason to wait to get pregnant after stopping birth control. It is not harmful to do so.
Control is important so that we stay in our limits
It's possible to be pregnant, on birth control, and not know it. If so, you'll just stop the birth control when the pregnancy is discovered.
To prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
yes very much so, unless you want to become a parent, then birth control is going to get in the way...
