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...

hi. i'm suffering hormonal imbalance for 3 months and my ob told me to use althea for 6 months after using provera. i'm really afraid to use pills. is der any way to regulate my period without using those pills? ## For the best outcome and success, it is best to follow your doctor's instructions. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Why are you afraid to take them? It might be easier for you, if those specific issues are addressed. ## Should I continue tab meprate 10mg even if I experience brown spotting? It started after 10days of medication on meprate.

The NIH warns that upon stopping it you may experience spotting, PMS like symptoms, and irritability. Are you on any other medications?

i stopped using Althea on my second pack becoz i can't bear anymore the constant hunger pangs, terrible dizziness, vomiting. And it made my body gained weight fast! It made my boobs much bigger too. Not really worth it, made wary to take other pills tbh. The side effects that i endured esp the dizziness are unbearable. Hopefully new users won't have the same problems i encountered. I am not recommening this pill though. ## Hello First time ko dn magtake ng althea pills Tanong ko lang normal ba Yung everyday spotting?? hnd naman ako nahihilo Nakakamiss n ko siang pack at pang 3 days free pills ko na ngyon..

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... After my 7 day rest, instead of taking it on my 8th day at 9pm i took it the next day at 9am? Is there any possibility of pregnancy? I had unprotected intercourse during my rest day...

Hi I'm an new user of of Althea, and I just got worried because I took it on the first day of my menstruation,and on the 7th day, I thought my menstruation was done already, but I experienced continuous bleeding, lighter bleeding, until I finish the whole pack. Even on my pill free days, I still experienced bleeding. Is this normal or is this something I should worry. Please help. Thanks. ## That can be a normal side effect, according to NIH reports and it could last for about 3 months, while your body gets used to the medication. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? Have you experienced any other issues?

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. When did you start taking it? ## I had my period aug 21 and started with althea aug 28...at first 7days of taking...

I started taking Althea pills on Aug. 3. My last menses was July 24. At the same time we used a condom on the 3rd of August and always have contact using condoms. Until now I have not had my menses yet. I'm afraid because my menses always comes on the 20th of every month. Any chance of getting pregnant? ## Hello, Belinda! How are you? Have you checked for pregnancy, yet? Regardless of the precautions used, there is always a slight chance of still getting pregnant, if you're engaging in intercourse. Doubling up on the methods used means the chances of that being the problem aren't very high, but better to check and reassure yourself. If you're not pregnant, the delay in your period could be caused by any one of many different factors, from taking the Althea to your just b...
