Home More advice Sex

(This is advice for my friend) Her boyfriend goes to afganistan for months at a time, shes realigious and agaist abortion 100%, she doesnt want anymore kids, And when he does get to come back after sometimes 4 somtimes 6 even 8 months at a time, they are protected with the birthcontrol pill. But she fears it makes her gain weight, and its just a hassle to take when she wont be having sex till he comes back from afganistan. you know? So can she go on for a few months and then randomly back on for a few more months? is it healthy? My friend thinks it will mess up her system inside. But they want to use thebirthcontrol pill, and im not sure if they use condoms or not.
