Are your cycles normally regular? ## What could be the possible cause of menstruating for more than 2 weeks? This has been happening to me since the last 2 months.

My menstruation was so bad on xarelto I needed a transfusion and was taken off xarelto. When can I expect my menstrual bleeding to stop? ## Hello, Julie! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you had, that's terrible! Unfortunately, there's no way to be sure. As it cycles out of your body, things should return to normal, but it may take several weeks. Other side effects to stopping it, as listed by the FDA, may include headache, diarrhea and nausea. What was it replaced with? ## It was replaced with a IVC filter. No more blood thinners for me.

I've been bleeding for year now. I went to the doctor and he gave me pills to stop the bleeding but it didn't work. Went to the hospital, they gave me Famynor contraceptive. The worked while I was taking them but I stopped after some time, and now bleeding is back again. What should I do? When I went to pharmacists they want a doctor's prescription. Please help me. ## Hello, Thato! If the contraceptive stopped it, why did you stop taking them? You should likely return to the doctor to have things checked out and you may need to take them, again. What is your age? It sounds like you are experiencing a hormonal imbalance. ## Hi, I am on a birth control for 3 months and it hasn't been my day to go to the clinic for another injection.

I recently started taking eliquis and I always pass blood clots during my menstruation. Should I be worried? ## This medication has been known to cause such issues in women that take it, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache, heavier periods and easy bruising. However, if your periods do get very heavy, or the clots become large or more frequent, then you should have this checked out by your doctor. Can any other ladies that have been on it chime in? ## I'm having the same issue- had to stop BC mid pack because they found 2 clots in my lungs. I started on Eliquis last week and have had a super heavy period with clotting. I can't figure out if it's because of the mid pack stop, or the eliquis. Waiting for my doctor to call me back- it's very unn...

Hi, it's my first time taking Diane 35 pills. I already finished the 21-day pack of tablets and now it's my 4th day of being tablet-free but still didn't get my period. I didn't skip any tablet but sometimes I'm taking the tablets late by 1 or 2hrs. Is there any possibility that I'm pregnant? And if this is just a side effect, should I start taking another pack after finishing the 7-day rest even i didn't get my period yet or should I wait for my period to come and finish before starting a new diane pack? Hoping for some clarified answers. Thank you. ## If you didn't miss any tablets, then there isn't much of a risk of pregnancy, according to the NIH and you should continue taking them as instructed.

Please inform me if it is safe to take Benfomet Plus during menstruation? ## Hello, Geetha! How are you? Yes, the U.S. FDA just classifies this a nutritional supplement that contains a form of vitamin B12, though they do warn that it can cause nausea, in some people that take it, due to its potency. It will not cause any problems, if taken during menstruation, unless your doctor tells you not to take it.

Last june 2013 i started using daphne pills..I last took the tablet on july 3. And until now i dont have menstruation yet, its 10 days now. I sooo scared..i havent taken anything yet. I already have contact with my husband. Am I fertile or not? What should i do? ## Hi, Jeryln! How are you? It can be normal for your cycle to be off, when you are new to taking hormonal contraceptives. However, did you have contact with your husband during the week you first started them, without using other protection? Because it takes them a week to become effective, unless you start them the first day of your menstruation. And after not having one, you should have started a new pack on the same day as usual and contacted your doctor for further instructions. If you didn't start a new pack, when you ...

Can I also use it for menstruation cramps? ## It is listed as containing Hyoscine, so it is not likely that it will help with menstrual cramps. The NIH warns that it may cause nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and headache as side effects. What else have you tried for your cramps? Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications? ## My dr prescribed me Scopex for my period cramps, I have endometriosis as well, with the scopex he also prescribed exinef, I also have a stomch ulcer, which my gp is aware of, and the brochure inside the exinef says to not use it when you have a ulcer... He refuses to put me back on Tramacet/tramadol, which actually took away my pain almost instantly for hours, where I would literally use only 1 once every 24hrs depending on the pain, but the med...
