Micro Pills Contraceptive Side Effects

what will happen if you take the pills an hour later, or if you forget to take them at the time you've been taking them every day? ## I've been taking the pill for 2 months and did not have my periods last month. I am 43 years old. ## Hello, Lee! How are you? There is no harm in taking them just an hour or so late. That's nothing to worry about, you've generally got a 12 hour window, before it's considered a late pill. Amber, which one are you taking? Some women do skip their periods while on oral contraceptives. Have you consulted your doctor? Is there a risk of pregnancy? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, PMS-like symptoms and breakthrough bleeding. ## I have been on microval for 7 years and neve...

i get high levels of viginal yeast after taking ni primolut tablet, is it a side effect? ## To answer your question directly, yes, having taken oral contraceptives, such as Primolut (norethindrone) is a big contributing factor toward yeast infection. Eating foods high in refined carbs and living a highly stressful lifestyle are additional common factors. I recommend Donna Gate's Book, The Body Ecology Diet, toward reducing the yeast in your gut. If you can shift your food toward 80% alkalizing fruits and veggies and 20% acid forming foods (mostly meat, fish, poultry, eggs, rice - even brown rice), it will be a big step toward setting up an environment that encourages beneficial microbes and discourages the yeast. Lots of fiber is essential though, veggies, fruit, veggies, fruit, and...

I was prescribed micronor for uterine bleeding, due to thickening of the uterine lining caused by pcos and palafer (iron pills). I am also taking metformin as a treatment for pcos. Are there any side effects or benefits of taking them together that you can point out for me? ## All medications carry the risk of side effects, whether using them alone or with other drugs. The Micronor is actually a contraceptive tablet, but in the Norethindrone class. It can cause side effects such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and weight gain. The Metformin is actually an oral antidiabetic drug that has been shown, in some case, to help treat PCOS for some women. Its side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and low blood sugar. The only interaction listed is that when the Metformin is be...

I'm on my first pack of microgestin FE 1/20 and I've been bleeding for 2 weeks. Do you have any idea when you think it will stop? ## Hello, Kika91! How are you? It may last for about 3 months, until your body adjusts to the hormones in this oral contraceptive. If the bleeding becomes very heavy, or persists past that time period, you should consult your doctor as it may not be the right OC for you to take. The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm using Micropil Plus oral contraceptive for the first time. For the past month I'm experiencing bleeding and saw some blood clots or tissues, aside from my normal menstruation, which started with my first pill. Is bleeding and some clots normal when taking contraceptive pills? ## Hello, Shine! How are you? Yes, that can be normal, when you're taking oral contraceptives, it's due to the estrogens that are in it. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

1st month taking microgestin fe 1/20, Bleeding heavy for 8days ,my usual period only last up to 5 days. I have 4brown pills left ,should I stop taking the pills or continue ? ## Hello, Silky! How are you? Since this is a hormonal based contraceptive, irregular bleeding can occur for the first 3 months, or so, while your body is getting used to the hormonal change. If it continues past 3 months, then it might not be the right one for you and you may need to switch to a different OC. Other side effects may include nausea, headache and mood swings. However, you should continue taking them, unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you so much for your response, the bleeding stopped after 9days, your reply was very reassuring. I just starte...

Hello, I have been using Microgynon 30 Ed Bayer for 8 months and then this month it went out of stock so I choose to take Trust pills then I noticed on the ingredients that the Levonorgestrel dosage of trust pills is lower than the Bayer pill. Should this affect the protection from pregnancy? will it put me into risk of getting pregnant? By the way before I took the trust pill I already finished the Bayer pill.. ## Hello, Juliana! How are you? No, it is still an effective contraceptive. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, breakthrough bleeding and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, I started taking Loestrin 20 last month, after 4 months of being on Microgynon (which had bad effects on me). I took it for 21 days and then stopped, as I had been advice by the doctor. However, I have a 12 day delay on my period (41 days since my last period) and I am a bit concerned.. I have done 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative so I am wondering what else can be wrong? Also, just to clarify, I havent started taking the pill again. Thanks a lot. ## There may not necessarily be anything wrong, it could just be due to your body adjusting to the hormones in the new contraceptive. It is normal to have irregularities for the first 3 months or so of taking a new one. However, you should consult your doctor to be certain, they may want to run some tests or do an exam. But...
