Birth Control / Contraceptive Forums (Page 3)

I started Setlakin on April 22nd, I then started bleeding on May 20th. It’s non stop. It’s not spotting, it’s like a normal period. Cramps, bloating, all of it. I called my OB and she told me to double up for a week, which ended already so I called again to report no change and the nurse ignored me and said I need to give it time to work itself out. 20 days of bleeding is a LONG time. It’s ruining my relationship, the irritation and constant cramping. Thankfully we’ve been together for 2 years and we know this will pass but for the love of all that’s holy I can’t handle this much longer. Has anyone else experienced this and how long did the bleeding last for you? I know everyone is different but I feel there’s no end in sight! Help! ## Thi...

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...

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...

Hi, I am taking microgynon contraceptive pill and my concerned is that I am on the last brown pill but l can't see my periods. Is there any problem with this? ## I was on Jadelle for 1 year and 3 months. I got it removed in January because of non stop spotting. I had unprotected intercourse a week after and I took 3 pills of microgynon in the morning and 3 at night. I got my period on the 9th of February which lasted 7 days. I had unprotected intercourse again on the 11th day post menses and I was wondering if I can be pregnant? I did a home test today and it was negative. What may be the problem? ## I had forgotten my pill packet of Microgynon at home and travelled to another town where it appears to be out of stock. Can I continue with Oralcon-F as a viable substitute?

What happens if you take Althea immediately after intercourse? Will it get you pregnant or something? ## No, it actually helps prevent pregnancy. By upping the dose, one can take it after unprotected intercourse as an emergency contraceptive to help prevent pregnancy. Just one tablet, taken after intercourse, will not work. It either needs to be a higher dose, or a woman must be taking it regularly, each day. However, upping the dose on your own is not safe and should only be done under your doctor's instruction and approval. Is there anything else I can help with? ## 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 th...

I have started using oralcon contraceptive pill, I wanna know how they work ## HI, Tshepo! How are you? Oralcon is a hormonal based contraceptive, so they work by adding certain amounts of synthetic estrogen and progesterone to your body to prevent ovulation from occurring each month. That's why you have to take one each day, for 3 weeks until your menstruation week, if you don't, then the drop in hormones may allow ovulation to happen which makes it possible for you to get pregnant. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Do I drink this pills during my menstruation week ## Hi, i would like to know how long it takes for the Oralcon birthcontrol pill to be out of my system / body. ## does oralcon cause abnominal pains? am using oralcon for about 3mnths nw nd i alwyz hv pains ...

Can I ask, is it safe if take a lady contraceptive pills 2 days after my menstruation and then be intimate with my partner? Is there no possibility that I would get pregnant? Thanks for the answer :) ## No, if you start these tablets after you menstrual cycle has ended and then have sex, there is still a chance that you could get pregnant. For immediate effectiveness of birth control pills, you need to start them, while you are on your period. If you do so, it will prevent ovulation and protect you against pregnancy. However, if you start them at any other time of your cycle, then you need to be on them for at least a full week (7 days), before you will be protected from pregnancy. Birth control tablets are not something that you can just take on the day you have sex and be protected fr...

i just want to ask, althea usser ako, on the 9th day free pill period ko na xa na take instead of 7 days, is it still ok? Safe prn ba? ## No, if you go longer than the 7 days, without taking the active tablets, then you are at risk for pregnancy. The tablets cannot prevent pregnancy, if you aren't taking them. They must be taken daily for the other 21 days of the month, in order to do their job and prevent ovulation and you can only do a 7 day pill free period. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Even if there's no contact within the 7day free pill, is it still at risk for pregnancy? I forgot to take the new set of pills after the 7day free pill.. it is now on the 10th day.. Can I sill take the pill? ## Hello po.last take q po ng althea pill is nung june 10.14 na ng june ...

I found this pill under my dresser. I’m told it’s a contraceptive, but my current birth control pills are not blue. I’ve never taken Tri-previfem before, which is what it’s identified as, but I have taken Ortho-tricyclen and TriNessa which are alternate brand names I’m told. Would the inscription be the same across the different brand names? ## Confirming that the pill you found corresponds with the markings found on Tri-Previfem (NDC 0603-7663). While it does contain a similar active ingredient profile as Ortho-Tricyclen (NDC 50458-191) and TriNessa (NDC 21695-407), the inscription should differ across brand names. The general rule is that each drug is required to have a unique imprint across manufacturers and doses. So even if it was the same manufacturer...

I had jadelle put in 6 months after I gave birth to my daughter and she is now a year and 10 months old, so I decided to take it off because I am planning to get pregnant but I have not seen my menstruation for 2 months now after I took it off. I feel really heavy in my tummy but I checked and am not pregnant, should I be nervous now or is it normal? ## Hi! How are you doing? Since Jadelle contains synthetic hormones to prevent pregnancy, it can take while for your body to balance back out on its own, once it's been removed and for ovulation to start occurring again. It can take several months in some women. If you don't start to cycle again soon, you may want to consult your doctor for assistance. ## before using jadelle implant for a year i was having irregular periods and aft...

Hi, My doctor gave me Diane 35 as an emergency contraceptive pill to take within 24 hrs of unprotected sex. I had to eat 6 tablets a day.. (2 tabs ..3 times in a day)? This I had to follow for 3 days.. I.e. 18 tabs in 3 days. I started having this medicine in the evening of the same day. And continues it for next 3 days. So I ate 20 tabs in total. As per doc, after I eat this for 3 days and stop, I should get my period after 3-7 days. It's been 9 days and I haven't got my period yet. Usually my periods always get late by 5-7 days than the date I got it in last month. Is it because of this? Is there anything to worry? Should I wait more to get my period or should go for pregnancy test? Pls help. ## Hi Ladies, this is the scenario. My last pill was last Nov 23 Wednesday and i will...
