Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. Not to worry, it contains progesterone, which does not have any major side effects, which could mess your body. 2. Need to watch out for weight gain, and irregular bleeding. 3. Need to use physical protection for infections. 4. No, you can continue its use and at your age, to avoid pregnancy its good. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again
