ok heres the deal:

most places you just go to the "free clinic" (if you're a girl)...make an appointment with the family practice people.

when you go to your appointment, they'll do a pap smear. it involves putting something in you to hold you open, while they scrape cells offa your cervix. then they also feel your breasts for lumps. then you sit around in the waiting room forever, and they give you a few months worth of birth control, or you can get the shot or w/e, and most clinics give you condoms too.

you can't just walk into a place and get birth control lol.

oh and with any of them, the effects arent instant. they all take roughly 2 wks to kick in before they're effective against pregnancies.

even so, if you dont use condoms after that point you still run the risk because birth control pills/shots/patches/etc etc arent 100% effective.

thats about it....i'm brain dead now too sleepy.
BabySnookums Reviewed by BabySnookums on . Birth control pills? Well, I was wondering does birth control pills really work? When a female takes them how long does it take for them to take their effect? Can you have sex almost immediately after they are taken? And can I go in any ol' store and buy a bottle? Lol, may seem strange but I'm tired of condoms and barely any girls have birth control pills around here. It's obvious because if they did there wouldnt be so many young mothers. So uh, yeah what are you guys opinions? Rating: 5
