I've been on nur isterate for 11 years now. Since i've started i had no periods. Today i have signs of periods with terrible pains. Is this normal? ## Did you start your period? Or did you just have cramping and pain? The hormone levels in your body can change as you age, which could change how this contraceptive affects you. Has anything else changed recently?

Oralcon Contraceptive Pills

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...

Round white pill with flower imprint

I found a thick round white pill with a six petal flower on the front and nothing on the back. I keep finding them randomly through the house, wondering if it's something I should worry about? ## Hello Sara, Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything that matches your description, the closes I found was a flower with 4 petals. I was trying to find something that may be related to menstrual cycles as it sounds like a more feminine product, but it also does sound close enough to some known illegal drug imprints to warrant concern. This pill is definitely not a prescription medicine and really sounds like one of the following three options to me, an illegal substance, a candy of some sort or an over the counter medicine targeting women. If you really need to identify the pill the...

I use nur isterate since 2010. Lately I have some menopause simptoms. I am 43. What else can I use as contraception?
