Hyan contraceptive pill side effects

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.

Dry Mouth While On Lo Loestrin?

Hi, so I've been taking Lo Loestrin for 5 days now and ever since the day after I took the first pill, it's been difficult to swallow and eat without choking. I also have bad breath because of the dryness that I can't get rid of, no matter how many times I brush my teeth. If anyone is experiencing similar things, please let me know, and maybe we could work on a way to get rid of it or decide if it's better to stop taking Lo Loestrin all together. ## Most medications can cause dry mouth, but I've never heard of it being that severe, from oral contraceptives. As reported by the FDA, other typical side effects may possibly include dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Given the severity, I'd suggest speaking to your doctor about trying a different...

What are famynor red and white for?

I have been using nur isterate last year from January to October and I stopped, but I have been experiencing non stop bleeding. So I went to a clinic and the nurse gave me Famynor, and she cut out the red ones. What are the white ones supposed to do? I want to get pregnant. Plz help. ## I got 5 months now I can't see my periods and they gave me Famynor pills it's now 1 and half week nothing has happened and I want the baby ....help please ## Hello Makwanda Famynor is a contraceptive that prevents ovulation and in turn stops menstruation bleeding.

implant and yellow non itching or smelly discharge

My implant is about to expired on october 8th. Is it normal to have yellow discharge? ## Hello, Jesse! How are you? You may have developed vaginitis, which the FDA lists as being a possible side effect, you may also experience spotting, irritability, and headache. It would be best to have it check out to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello Jesse, It is not normal to have any discharge from Esperal as long as you haven't consumed alcohol. Esperal doesn't infuse any chemicals (Disulfiram) into your blood stream. So, you are clean alcohol wise you can't have any side effects from Esperal. ## I want to purchase the Esperal implant. Where can I get it in India? Does it require a prescription?

Petogen and pregnancy

I've been using petogen consistently for 6 months now which is 2 shots. Seven weeks into the second shot I had unprotected intercourse and I'm experiencing excessive hunger these days... Could I be pregnant? ## Not likely, as long as you made sure to receive your shots on time. It is a long-term contraceptive that contains Medroxyprogesterone. The NIH does warn that it can cause increased hunger, weight gain, nausea, irregular bleeding, and headache. Are you on any other medications? ## I'm not on any other medication. I have another question, if I go for a shot a week later than prescribed, would it be much of a problem? ## Hello. My girlfriend was on the Oralcon 4th red pill and she went to opt for the Petogen shot, but she sees her periods. Is she still protected or could...

Taking trust pills on the wrong day

I'm on the 8th pill but I accidentally took the 14th pill... Is it ok to take the 9 pill on the next day and continue taking the pill or should I stop taking this pack of pill. ## Hello, Celle! How are you? Yes, you can just continue taking them, there is nothing specific in the tablets that makes it so they have to be taken on any certain day. They active tablets all contain the same thing and can be taken on any given day.
