I had a baby 3 months ago and haven't gotten my period back yet. I was intimate on January 1st. I took the morning after pill within a half hour after. A week after, I bled heavy for 4-5 days. I had pregnancy like symptoms. Sore breasts, headaches, and I was more hungry than normal. Now, a month later, I'm still feeling not right. I don't have sore breasts anymore more but I'm more tired then usual, get hunger pains every 5-6 hours and I feel like I'm urinating a little more. Plus I've been feeling pains in my ovaries every so often. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and all negative. I need advice asap! Could Plan B still be making me feel like this? Could I still be pregnant after having all these negative symptoms? Help please!! ## The symptoms you've descr...

I normally take my nordette pill around 7am but want to change it to 8am because at 7am I'm still on my way to work. Will this affect me badly? Will it increase my chances of pregnancy? I was planning on waiting a week before having intercourse when I have started at 8am just so they get used to my system. Please help urgently. ## No, you can do that without a problem. You've got a window of about 12 hours, before it would even be considered a late pill and 24 hours, before it's considered actually missing one. The only thing that might happen is you may experience a little spotting, but that's very doubtful with just a one hour difference and there is no need to abstain for a week, when you do this. The reason they tell you to always take it at the same time is to help ...

Hi - just wondered if anyone else is struggling to get pregnant after having implanon. I have it removed 2 years ago and it took 7 months for me to get a period and when I did the pain made me faint. My periods only now last one day but do come every 28 days... I have been to see my doctor and he was not interested as I already have one child and because of my age 28. I am convinced my hormones are not right? Thanks :) ## You are likely on the right track, both hormonal contraceptives, and your age can contribute to your hormones being off. Ref: Women's Health and Birth Control What type of doctor did you consult, was it a gynecologist, or just a general practitioner? It would likely be best for you to consult a different doctor. Are you on any medications?

I got on the shot in February and my birthday was the 25th of February. Maybe a day or 2 later I started my period and it lasted for about 4 months and some change. I notified my OB and she put me on hormone pills but my period still continued so she put me on sprintec. I'm on week 3 so I'm still getting use to taking them on time but so far I've only experienced cramping ... My question is , I only want to take the sprintec for one month cause I'm gay so when I get to the white pills and my period starts , will it then go back to my regular periods? I don't want to be on it for another 4 months ## Unfortunately, no one can provide you with a definitive answer to this question, it may work, but it may not, and no one can know ahead of time. The only thing you can do ...

I am 15 years old and am on birth control because my period is very heavy. I have used it before for the same reason and never experienced any adverse effects or typical symptoms. I started taking Aranelle 21 days ago; and two days ago I took the last pill which would prevent my period. Yesterday, I felt very ill in the morning and even vomited; today, I'm still not feeling well. Could this be related to my period? I haven't been taking the pills that are usually ingested during a period. Could this make a difference? ## The last 7 tablets are inactive, they are just in the package to help keep you in the habit of taking a daily pill, this helps prevent missing any and risking pregnancy. Oral contraceptives can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and irregular vaginal bleeding, a...

I take Tri-Sprintec and I was wondering if missing the last 2 white pills in the package (for Friday and Saturday made any difference at all and if it's okay for me to just ignore those and begin my next package which starts Sunday? By not taking the last 2 white pills, will my period stop for the last 2 days of my cycle? ## The last week of pills in the Tri-Sprintec 28 day pack are inactive, and can be skipped, however, this will not alter the duration of your period, it should still last as long as it normally does, unless your doctor states otherwise. Ref: Tri-Sprintec Information The FDA lists the typical side effects of hormonal contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, weight changes, mood changes, and irregular vaginal bleeding.

Femaine is a white pill with a 21 day cycle.

Hey! I'm just a little concerned because i am anemic and have been bleeding down there for almost a year now. The doctors have given me Cyklokapron. I'm not gonna lie i have missed taking it a few times. I also was prescribed ferrograd iron supplements and i'm still bleeding. I read about "NOT TAKING Cyklokapron if... etc" - One of them said if you have irregular rapid heartbeats & If you're on hormone birth control. The birth control I'm on is jadelle and i have been taking tranexamic acid. Is that ok? And i have irregular rapid heartbeats.

Hi, I accidentally took the white pill on the second day of my last pack and then took the blue right after, thinking it wasn't the same stuff in it. Then I just finished my pack and didn't have a white one to take right before the brown pill days. I started bleeding a little with a mix of brown and red blood either with my last white pill or the morning after that (my periods on lo loestrin have ranged from non-existent for three months at a time to only brown blood to a little bit of normal blood.) Bleeding lasted until I started my new pack, I shouldn't have to worry now right, because I bleed when I expected to? I never miss a pill and take them at the same time every day. ## Any time you miss an active oral contraceptive tablet, you increase your risk of pregnancy, if y...

Long story short I was unable to get my last birth control prescription filled so I haven't had for about two weeks now. Will I just have to start over at the next month and be fine?? ## I was wondering if after taking the IC tri-sprintec tablets for three weeks if i would be protected against pregnancy? ## After missing that many days, you will need to fully start over in order to be protected against pregnancy, generally that requires taking it for a full cycle, IE: one month. Vaughn, you are only protected while actively taking it, so you should continue beyond 3 weeks, if you are actively engaging in intercourse. The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, mood changes, and weight changes. R...

Last month I took all the blue pills but I skipped the white and brown pills. I know the 2 brown pills are just iron pills but is it bad that I skipped the white ones too? ## Hello, Kate! How are you? No, the white ones have no active ingredients in them, whatsoever, so it doesn't matter if you skip them. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The other response is wrong! I just started this pill and was confused myself. The patient insert does indicate that the white pills have estrogen! I didn't take them either! But will from now on! I wish my doctor had told me...I'm so used to the white pills being inactive! ## The white pills have *estrogen* in them. What they are missing is the progestin. Without progestin, your body starts having a period. That's why it's...

Good morning. How long does it take for angeliq to be out of your system after you have stopped using it. I must go for a mammogram and draw blood to check my hormone level. At this stage I have a lump in my breast. My breast was very sensitive and sore. after that my breast became red and warm. Then I stopped angeliq. Now it's fine except the lump in my breast. I want to go to the Dr for them to draw blood and he must refer me for a mammogram. ## The half-life for Angeliq, which is the amount of time it takes to reach 50% of it's initial level in your body, is 36 to 42 hours, and it takes 5 to 6 half-lives to be fully cleared from your system, which would be 180 to 252 hours, so the maximum time would be 10.5 days. The FDA warns that stopping it abruptly may result in your expe...
