Is it ok if i changed pills every month? my first 4 months i took althea pill but i felt that it makes me dry, then i changed to nordette for 3 months but i felt frequently headache, and now Im taking micropill. Is there any effect about it? ## You may experience some more side effects by changing frequently, because of the different hormone levels that are in them, but that's about all, unless your doctor has said otherwise. However, due to that fact, you should settle on one as soon as you can get one that works well for you, without causing problems and not keep switching. Our bodies really don't like the constantly fluctuating hormone levels. Is there anything else I can help with? ## i was determined recently to had a pcos.i am not having menses for almost 3mos.duphaston do...

Once you stop taking it, it usually takes about 3 months for you to be able to ovulate and become pregnant. Are you on any other medications?

Wen I take Althea Pill my cycle period became irregular,is this normal? I am not PREGNANT? ## Yes, that can be a normal side effect, according to the NIH, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. It can take about 3 months for your body to adjust to this medication, so the side effects go away. If they do not, or if they become severe, you may need to try a different oral contraceptive. Has anything changed?

I'm on my first day of taking Althea pills. So far I haven't experienced any symptoms like nausea and migraine. How long would it take before I experience any of these? Hopefully I won't experience the bad side effects. Also, does taking pills shorten the duration of periods? I typically have mine up to 7 days and took the pill exactly on the first day of my period. ## It may take a few weeks for any possible side effects to manifest, according to NIH reports. They may also include mood swings, spotting, and PMS-like symptoms. Yes, that can sometimes shorten the length of your period, some women even stop having periods entirely, while taking oral contraceptives. Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?
