Yeah, it can really mess you up, and from what I've learned from my doctor, taking it before you've reached...like..full maturity? Can REALLY cause problems. I took a lot of birth control as a teen, and it's hurt me now in my mid-late 20's. I took a shot that prevents you from getting pregnant for a year, and I did this at age 15. I've also been off and on the pill for a few years after that. So, you can imagine what that did to my body.
Ideally, I'd like to avoid anything that will further make it harder for me to get pregnant in the future. Chances are I would need to take something to regulate my hormones and get me to start ovulating again, but I would not take the birth control to do this.
As for family contact with future offspring, I really don't know. I would wish my kids to be near SOME family, but the reality is, it's hard to take the good and leave the bad, you know? How do I bring my Mom into the picture without my Dad? Like, I really wouldn't mind having my husband's Grandma a part of my kid's life assuming she's still around by then, but neither of us is fond of anyone else in his family. And, how do you avoid all of them when they all live together under one roof?
