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

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 There, Can I get pregnant immediately after stopping taking althea for three months? My doctor advised me to take Althea pills due to hormonal imbalance as I have a polycystic ovary (Left). I really want to get pregnant so badly. I never got pregnant since my husband and I got married last june of 2014. I finished my 3rd pack last August 21st and I had my 1st day of period on the 27th and ended on the 31st. We are planning to have a contact on the 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th and 18 of Sept. Is there a high chance of me being pregnant by following this plan? Thanks so much! ## Your most fertile time will be midway through your cycle, so on the 14th, or 15th day, according to NIH reports. It may also take a few months, before you ovulate and are able to become pregnant. Has your doctor...

I just finished my first pack of Althea and im taking this because i have PCOS will this regulate my mens after taking it for only a month? Is there a posibility that i will get pregnant if i stopped it now? I want to get pregnant so bad but i dont know if this will regulate my mens immediately , when will i ovulate? any experiences here? thank you ## No, it usually takes a couple months for it to help regulate things. The NIH Lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, irregular bleeding, mood changes, and weight changes. 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?

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... Thanks. ## I'm taking Althea contraceptive pi...

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...

However, if it doesn't, or if it worsens, then you should consult your doctor as this may not be the right one for you to take. Lu...

I drank 2 Althea pills immediately right after intercourse. This will prevent me from getting pregnant right? I've been taking it until today but my period hasn't come yet and it's been two weeks. Before the intercourse I am already 2 days late. withdrawal method. ## Hello, Nrebul! How are you? No, oral contraceptives, such as Althea, will only prevent pregnancy if you take the right dosage of them within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse. You can't just casually take 2 and expect it to work. Have you been checked for pregnancy, yet? Have you consulted your doctor? If you're not pregnant, then I suggest you start taking Althea, or another contraceptive regularly every day to prevent such scares in the future. ## Hi Verwon! Thank you for your response, I really real...

Magstart na po ba ako ng new pack? 7th day na po kasi magtake na ako bukas wala parin period. Have been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries. Thank you. ## We're on the same boat.

How are you? Did your period start, yet? Yes, there is a chance that you could be pregnant, the pull out method is not full proof. Some men do release some sperm during intercourse.

Hi, this is my 4th month of taking Althea and yet this was the very first time that I felt so sick, like I'm pregnant, I feel so bloated and nauseous and dizzy but I don't urinate frequently and I am not having any back pains. Do you think this is just one of the side effects of the pill or there might be a chance that I'm pregnant... and no, I have never missed a pill. ## Yes, the NIH lists those as being possible side effects of this medication, you may also experience headache, and other PMS-like symptoms. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change? The only way to be sure is to have yourself checked for pregnancy, but that isn't likely, if you've not missed any tablets.
