Nordette

Ethinyl Estradiol + Levonorgestrel

Extended or continuous cycle combined oral contraceptive pills are a packaging of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCPs) that reduce or eliminate the withdrawal bleeding that would occur once every 28 days in traditionally packaged COCPs. It works by reducing the frequency of the pill-free or placebo days. Extended cycle use of COCPs may also be called menstrual suppression,[2] although other hormonal medications or medication delivery systems (hormonal intrauterine devi...

Should Nordette be taken on the 1st day of periods? ## Hello, Yolanda! How are you? You mean to start it for the first time? If you take it on the first day of your period, it will provide immediate protection against pregnancy. However, if you start it later in your cycle, you'll need to take it for a full 7 days, before it will be effective. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello there i got same question I am switching to Nordette from Yasmin pills, I finished my pill a week ago, so tomorrow would be the 7th day but I didnt take anything yet. Eh ang sabi start during the first day of mens but i missed already. What will i do, should i start it tomorrow? 7th day.

Hi, my partner and I were intimate on the 24th of january. My first day of menstruation is jan. 14th. I took nordette pills (4 pills at the same time and another 4 pills after 12hrs). Luckily I didn't vomit. They said nordette has been phased out from the store but I luckily bought one in mercury, it's all white pills manufactured by pfizer. Is it the same nordette like before? It's in the store again. Im waiting for my menstruation to come or the withdrawal bleeding after 11 days of taking nordette (fingers crossed). Is it really effective? I take the pill after an hour of having unprotected sex. And I certainly followed the instructions. I'm fertile on that day, it has been 11 days after the 1st day of my mens so im really worried. ## Hello! I just want to know if Nord...

My gf took nordette 4days ago. Sunday (sept. 13, 9.10pm) was her first dose. The second one was mondat (sept.14. 9.11am) Now, she was prescribed a ear drop with ofloxicin in it w/c can interfere on the effect of nordette. My question is, would it stil interfere on the effect of nordette, of its only an ear drop? Not to mention, it'll be use on her ears only. Would it still interfere on nordette's?

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 ...

My bf's condom broke when he's inside me. After 17 hours I took 4 nordette pills and after 12 hrs I took another 4 pills. After 24 hrs after taking Nordette is it okay to drink other medicines like cetirizine and amoxicilin? and after 2 days changed amoxicilin to cloxacilin.. will it affect the effectiveness of the pill? Is it alright to drink other medicine after using nordette?

hy just started drink nordette on the red line whereas having periods as well now started again a new pack on the red line since I started the first on the red as well,but now am not having any periods but pains on my abdominal. whats wrong?

Hi, i took nordette 10th of march. I had my period 10 days after that. Then, on the 31st of march i had my period again. I had listed that as my first day on the app im using. According to that app, i should expect my period on the 28th of april based on 28d cycle. Now, i havent had my period yet since 28th. Could nordette be the cause of delay? ## Some Mercury Drug pharmacy chains have recalled nordette. ## Hi, where did you fill your prescription for nordette? Kasi sabi sa mercury bawal na daw un? Thanks sa reply! ## Any news on where to get nordette? Or any equivalent? ## Hi! Watsons still carries Nordette. You don't need a prescription. It's 185, if i recall correctly. ## It is also available in three-sixty pharmacies and they dont require a prescription. It cost 180php

i purchased Pfizer Levonorgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Enordette 150mcg/3mcg 21 pills in a set Questions: 1. is this a good oral contraceptive? 2. will my chances of cancer be increased? 3. can i take it at night? or does it have to be in the morning? 4. if i want to stop, what do i look out for? and what should i do? 5. i have an irregular period, is it okay for me to take this? 6. i smoke 1 stick a week, is that okay? 7. can i smoke cannabis with nordette? 8. i know the percentage of getting pregnant is low, but if i still end up getting pregnant, will the baby be okay? 9. is oral contraceptive the best form of non invasive contraception? thanks!

My partner and I had intercourse and I decided to take nordette knowing it was on my fertile days. I took the 1st dose 10 hrs afterwards and took my 2nd dose 12 hrs after that. I suddenly felt bad, vomited badly and i felt dizzy. For the best I decided to sleep and forgot to take the repeat dose. I did not experience withdrawal bleeding and any signs of inc estrogen levels. It's been 3 weeks now and i haven't got my period. Does that mean the ecp did not work? ## The only way to know would be to check for possible pregnancy. According to NIH reports, not everyone experiences spotting or bleeding, after taking them. If you're worried, there is no harm checking for pregnancy, to be sure. Are you on any other medications?

I need an answers kasi kinakabahan ako. My boyfriend and I had an intercourse but with condom. Unexpectedly, the condom broke when he's about to cum. Pareho naming hindi alam na nabutas yung condom, nakita nalang namin nung pinull out na niya. I just finished my menstruation last August 24 (started on 18) and I believe that I am fertile when we did the deed (Aug. 27). I took 4 Nordette, 2-3 hours after the deed and took another 4 on the next 12 hours but I am not feeling any side effects, is this normal? Ang nababasa ko kasing mga nag take yung mga before reglahin. Please answer, thank you :((( ## Hi question lang, first time kasi namin ng bf ko. Pinasok niya yung ano niya sakin siguro 10 seconds lang pinatigil ko siya kasi natatakot ako lalo na walang condom. Nag woworry ako ngayon...

My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex last November 1, 2015 at around 1pm. I took 4 Nordette pills as an ECP after 24 hours (Nov.2) Then another 4 pills after 12 hours. I did not vomit or anything. But I felt dizzy and sick for 2 days. Then yesterday, (November 6) we had unprotected sex again. I told him that I'd take another dose but he didn't want me to. I still took 4 pills. But I didn't take another 4 after 12 hours. Would that still work? I'm worried. Should I wait for my first dose withdrawal? And would it withdraw the (possible) sperms inside me that the 2nd unprotected sex brought about? ## Hello can someone pls help me.

Hi, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I went to my OB last week and she told me that I was ovulating. And then my boyfriend accidentally ejaculated inside of me. After 20hrs I took the first 4 pills, and took the next 4 an hour late (because I fell asleep). Help me please? Is there a possibility I could get pregnant? Please, I'm really scared. ## Hi. I know my response is out of the question. I'm just curious as to where you can still fill a prescription for Nordette. I heard it's already phased out. I just really needed one at the moment. ## Did you get preggy?

I took 4 orange pills of nordette as ecp and the next dose 4 hours late because i fell asleep. i vomited 2 hours after the first dose.10 hours after the second dose now and im experiencing abdominal cramps, nausea and some light spotting/ light bleeding.. my question is, is this my period or just a side effect of the pills? ## It is actually hard to say. It could be your period, or a side effect, which the NIH lists as also possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms. Has it turned into a full flow, or are you still just spotting?

My last menstruation was January 15 and I usually bleed for 3 to 4 days. I had an unprotected sex with my boyfriend a week after my first day of menstruation, January 22. He accidentally ejaculated inside me. I took Nordete 21 within 48 hours after the deed since that is the only EC pill available here in the philippines. Days after taking the pill i experience breast tenderness and soreness and it's very painful. Aside from that i didn't experience any side effects. I was expecting my period February 12. Now, i am a day delayed. Can I possibly be pregnant? I am really worried and already freaking out :( ## What you are reporting as far as breast pain and tenderness is a possible side effect of the Nordette - With that said, if you do not have your menstrual cycle within the nex...

hi. i had my menstruation on january 1 and it ended january 5. i had intercourse 2 days after but it was protected. then I decided to take nordette 21 4 days after. i was not on my period and it said to take the first pill on the first day of period but i took it anyway. will this still be effective? ## Will nordette 21 be still effective even you started taking it not on the first day of your period (but within the scope of 72hrs after intercourse)? Like in my case, i had intercourse 8 days after the last day of my period an took the first pill 9 days after my last of period. As per Nordette instruction it should be taken on your 1st day of period. But i was so focused on taking it within the scope of 72hrs so i miss the instruction that it should be taken on the 1st day of period. Ple...
