Althea Contraceptive

Hi! I am new user of althea I'm taking it every 8PM. Unlike other girls I don't feel any side effects. Im worried that it doesn't have effect on me. I'm using althea because I want my boobies to get bigger and my skin to be smooth and ofcourse to prevent pregnancy. I want to ask how many packs will you consume for you to see that your boobies got bigger or when will you start noticing it? Pls do reply. . ## It took 2-3 months for me ## just days. youll notice the breast tenderness

if my first mentrual period falls on wed. do i take the pill also starts on wed.? ang also for the next stab of new pills after 7 days free pills.? ## Yes, you should start it on the first day of your period, regardless of what day of the week that is and regardless of any days that may be printed on the packaging. And yes again, you should then continue taking a tablet each day and make sure not to miss any. This may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and mood swings. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Im taking althea for almost 3 years, im on the 7 days free pill but i delayed taking the next pack instead i intake pills on the 9th day, i had intercourse on the 8th day .will i be pregnant?

Khristine, how heavy is the bleeding and how long have you been taking these contraceptives?

Hi, Is it safe to take Althea pills while I'm drinking Lipton tea at the same time Im eating only vegetables? Thank you. ## Yes, neither tea, nor vegetables are known to affect oral contraceptives. The NIH lists the typical side effects of them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. However, if you are following a vegan diet, please make sure that you do eat some other foods, such as nuts, to make sure you get enough protein. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If its okey to drink a biofit tea while im taking my trust pills??i need your reply thanks ## Hi! I would like to ask po if I can take Biofitea while taking Dianne pills? I’ve read a lot of reviews, i’m afraid it would lessen the pill’s effect..

I appreciate you taking the time to do this, and hopefully it will also open the door for others to add their advice as well. In t...

Hi, I have used the oralcon pills for a month (21 days) and went off the white pills before I could get my menstruation cycle and now I feel like I am pregnant......is that possible? ## HI, Gertrude! Have you done a pregnancy test? If you went off of them and had intercourse after that, when you weren't taking them, then yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. They will only protect you from pregnancy as long as you are taking the active tablets. ## hi,have been on the pill for a full week now...so i want to know how it works,,i missed the white one but remembered 2 hrs later...am i at risk? ## nagtake ako ng althea not on the day of my mens. during the 5th day of taking it, i had intercourse with my bf,, is it possible that i could get pregnant? after naubos ko yung pills,, 7...

Hi. I'm currently using Althea pills and I wanted to switch on the Lady pill because it is much cheaper. When should I start taking the Lady pill? Thanks :) ## Unless your doctor instructs otherwise, you should be able to just make a clean switch from one to the other, when you finish your current pack of pills. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, spotting, headache, irritability, weight changes, and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I have been using Oralcon for about a week now. My vagina is itching very badly, it is very uncomfortable. I need an alternate with no such side effects please. ## Hello, Eish! How are you? They shouldn't cause vaginal itching. That sounds more like you may have a yeast infection. You need to be seen and have it checked out to get the proper medication to clear it up. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## I have been using oralcon for a week now and have been so emotional crying even for a broken nail could this be the side effect? ## im a 1st time user of althea pills. my whole body is itching. also my vagina. wht does it mean? ## Hi I'm pearl 26 y,o I used Althea phills with in one month .pro itinigil KO rin kaagad kasi during I take phills sumasakit ang tiyan KO a...

So tafter the 21 there is a 7th day free with out pill. When will my menstration come again? Sames as althea? Then after that i'd take on the 5th day again of menstration?

Hi! It's my first day for the 7 free pill days but I wasn't so sure if i'm protected w/o taking any pill so i took 1 pill for my next pack. Should i stop or continue taking the rest of the pills? If i'll stop when will I continue? Is it safe to just continue another pack? Thank u. ## Hello, Jane! How are you? Yes, you are still protected during the 7 free days, there is no need to take pills during that time period, according to NIH instructions. Usually, you should just continue on and start a new pack on the day your normally would, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise.

I forgot to take 1 pill in the first pack. I saw that I still had my last pill. It is possible to get pregnant? ## Yes, every time you miss a pill, there is a risk of pregnancy, according to NIH reports, though the risk is not very high, if you only missed one tablet. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and irregular bleeding. If you are concerned, there is never any harm in checking for pregnancy, to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am on my 4th month of taking althea...

Hi, I started taking the althea pill last night, but i had intercourse on the same night and by the next day without using any contraceptives like withdrawal or condoms, but it's still within the 7 days period after my menstruation. Am i still protected against pregnancy? ## If you started taking them on the first or second day of your period, then you are protected against pregnancy, however, if you started it on any day later than that, there may be a chance that you are pregnant and you should have yourself check for it, according to NIH reports. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

i am 28 yrs. old and i wanna know why i can get pregnant since i stopped taking althea for almost 2 years. ## Hi fiona, Sorry to hear about your complications with pregnancy. I don't know whether contraceptive pills like this have any long term effects that people just aren't aware of in relation to getting pregnant. But from what I understand, infertility is not uncommon. Millions of women face it in today's society. However most cases seem to stem from hormonal imbalances or ovulation problems. It sounds to me like your best bet would be to check in with a knowledgeable gynecologist or doctor who can offer more advice through an in-person consultation. After understanding the cause of the infertility, treatment options may just require a simple hormonal adjustment to get y...

I started taking Althea last April 2017, my OB asked me to take the pill since I have PCOS and that I has cyst on my left and right ovary, right after I finished the first pack I can say that I was satisfied with the result since I got my period 5days, but when I take the 2nd pack I had light period like light spotting never had a heavy flow, the spotting takes 2 days, I still continue taking the pill though but since May up until now I no longer had a normal period like what I had last May, is this normal?

Have you discussed this issue with your doctor? There should be a different oral contraceptive that they can prescribe for you that may not cause you to suffer dysmenorrhea. There is more than one option available, so sometimes when a woman has problems with one, there may be a different one that works well for her. ## thanks. i havent discussed t yet with my doctor, but mybe this comig tuesday, i will. tnx ## Hi, I'm worried right now because my 2 year old son swallowed 4 pills today, he thought it was candy and i wasnt able to see him getting my pills inside my bag, I'm very worried right now, ...

How are you? Yes, that should be okay, but you should double check with your doctor to be certain. However, that is the way it is normally done, just a smooth straight transition from one oral contraceptive to the next. Just make sure not to miss any tablets. However, why haven't you had your period, yet? That would normally be the time that you'd finish a pill pack. ## This week (tuesday) was my last pill of dapne then i switch to diane 35 ,now two nights of taking diane pills it is ok ?
