I have a problem where I can't swallow pills, ive been chewing mine but i havn't had any sex so im not sure if it would be still effective if i chew birth control. Does it matter if I chew or swallow it? or does it only matter is that its in my body?

umm...it's really tiny. i'm sure you can swallow it. ask your doctor. i'd use condoms until you get your answer, though.

its not the best way to take pills, but they are still effective. they make birth control that is mint-flavored and chewable. ask your doctor.

For birth control pills, it does not matter to crush them. Some pills are time released or coated to protect your stomach. The pharmacist will put a label on them warning you to not crush them. Birth control pills can be crushed, it is fine what you are doing. Good luck.
