Hi, i have been using Oralcon pills for almost a month now and ever since i have abdominal pains. When i take pain killers the pain goes away for few minutes and comes back again. I cant stand for more than 10min, i can't bent and i can't even sit for a long time. I really dont know what to do anymore ## Stomach upset, nausea, and pain can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to NIH reports. However, if it is that severe, you may need to try a different medication. Have you informed your doctor about this issueand the pain you are experiencing? Are you on any other medications?

What side effects have others experienced and how long do the side effects last for? ## Hi, Rassie! How are you? The side effects, if they occur, can start within a few days and last 2 to 3 months, since these are hormonal based contraceptives.

Am using oralcon for the first time. I just wanted to know when will I have my periods because I am now taking the red pill, am on the 3rd pill, but still nothing. Am now worried, can I be pregnant? ## Usually when you first start taking birth control, it's contraceptive effects generally don't take full effect until the first couple weeks or month after you begin treatment. Although I think this long time frame/waiting period may vary according to the brand. I'm not sure if your doctor or gynecologist also mentioned this, but irregular periods and missed periods are common side effects associated with these types of medications. This is largely due to the fluctuation in hormone levels, which ultimately have a direct impact on your menstrual cycles. Have you taken a pregnanc...

I've been on Hyan contraceptive for the past two months after a c-section and my period is a very dark red blood. Is this normal? ## That can be normal, when using a form of hormonal contraceptive, according to the NIH, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability.

It is thick and and very dark and only lasts for three day. ## Hello, Gugu! How are you? What does the rash look like? Do you get every month? Period changes can happen when you're taking hormonal contraceptives, some women don't have periods, at all, while on them. Have you had this checked out by your doctor? When you say thick, do you mean there are clots in it? Hold old are you? Are you on any other medications? ## Hello I'm using oralcon almost 2 weeks now ..I feel headaches everyday is it okay if I will not finish the whole pads ?

I started using Oralcon-F pills 14 hours after intimacy. We didn't use protection. Is there any chance that I can get pregnant? I had never taken contraceptive pills before. ## Yes, if you are only taking one pill a day, then there is still a risk of pregnancy. To be effective, these must be taken daily for at least 7 days, before engaging in intercourse. There are some that you can take in higher doses, after intercourse, to help prevent pregnancy, but that most be done within the first 24 hours to have the best results and within 5 days to still be somewhat effective at prevention. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and irregular bleeding. Have you done a check for pregnancy? ## Tanong ko lng ho.ang paggamit ng ho...

Hi. I've been using oralcon, the white pills for just 21 days as I was told I used them because I was bleeding for a month and the bleeding did stop but now that I'm done drinking them the bleeding is back. Is it going to be normal? I'm really worried. ## How long did the bleeding continue this time? Have you tried keeping track? Some women do stop having periods while taking contraceptives, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache. How long have you been off them, now? Are you on any other medications? ## The bleeding became normal seven days later and now it's been about a month without using them.

If I'm still using the white pill at the end of the week then i must start red but what can I do if don't want to menstruate at all? ## Hi i recently started oralcon pills and finished the white line and on the red line can i skip it i dont want to get my period just yet. ## If your doctor approves, you can skip the period week of pills, and just move on to a new pack of active tablets. Many women do so, when it would be inconvenient to have a period, such as if they are getting married, going on vacation, or etc. But there are no guarantees that it will work. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight changes, and PMS-like symptoms. Are there any other questions? ## Wanting to know.

Hi I'm using oralcon since the beginning of this year an last week I started feeling dizzy And my mouth feels watery an I'm feeling Lil nausea an very tired. I do smoke an sister told me I shud smoke less or stop smoking cause oralcon an smoking is not a good combination. can that be the reason why I feel so sick? ## Hello, Smiley! How are you? No, not likely. Smoking on these contraceptives creates the risk of blood clots, not the symptoms you're describing. Is it possible that you've just caught a virus or something? Have you had this checked out with your physician? Are you still having these symptoms?

Hi there, I've been using Oralcon for the past two years. I stopped using it at the beginning of December and I do not use any contraceptive pills since then as my husband and I are trying for our 2nd baby. Since I stopped with the Oralcon the beginning of December, I didn't got my period up to now. Is this a normal side-effect from Oralcon? ## Hello, Peanut! How are you? It can take a couple months for your body to rebalance your hormones on its own, when you stop a hormonal contraceptive, but usually only about 3 months. Other withdrawal effects, as listed by the FDA, may also include dizziness, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. However, going beyond a few months is unusual and something you should have checked out to discover what's going on. Is there anything else I ca...

You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and PMS-like symptoms.

I am using oralcon contraception, but since the beginning of April i haven't seen my period. Is it possible to get pregnant while on this? ## All oral contraceptives carry a slight risk of still getting pregnant. I believe it could be a 1-10% estimated possibility depending on the brand; but in my opinion that merits reason enough to use another form of protection. Irregular periods however, are a general side effect of these types of medications; so it's not always something to be overly concerned about. This may simply be due to a fluctuation in your hormones. To make using oral contraceptives as safe and reliable as possible, you should understand how and when to take them and what side effects may be expected. A paper with information for the patient should've been given...

Hi,i started using oralcon 21days ago and today i have to take the red 1,so i have been spotting the whole month is that normal? ## Hello, Baby! How are you? Yes, spotting and other side effects can be normal for about the first 3 months, since your body has to adjust to the hormones in this contraceptive. You should always consult your doctor about any unusual bleeding, just to be safe and make sure it is only from the contraceptive, but most women do experience some, when first starting them. Is there anything else I can help with?
