Hello. My husband had a vasectomy 10 years ago and I have been on birth control since, not for fear of pregnancy but because my periods would always start on time but last anywhere from 7-14 days. We never did a sperm count after the vasectomy and have had no reason to worry about an unwanted pregnancy. However, I stopped my birth control last month. I should have started my period 2 weeks ago but haven t. I had one very heavy brown bleeding when I used the rest room 2 days ago but have had no bleeding since that one instance. I am nauseated, having ocasional sharp pains in my lower left pelvic area. My fear is the slight possibility of being pregnant and having a possible ectopic ( my second pregnancy was ectopic). Any validity to my fears or is this normal after stopping birth control?

Hi,Welcome to HCM.After vasectomy, abstinence or avoidance of sexual intercourse is prescribed for at least 90 days. 10 years is a very long time. Birth control pills prevent pregnancy but can also be used to regularize periods. Stoppage of these pills can cause change in the periods as there is sudden hormonal changes. This can cause symptoms like nausea and abdominal pain. There is no chance of pregnancy.Thanks.

On nuva ring, took it out a week later than usual. Is it normal ?

Hello, ive been experiencing dark brown discharge and now some light red as well which started 1week after taking the morning after pill it has lasted 9 days and not heavy. I was taking St Johns wort at the time but was only a low dose so the chemist wasn t worried. I ve been experiencing all the very early signs of pregnancy and am still nauseous and dizzy but understand this is more likely the MAP. Is there still a risk of pregnancy? Myself and my partner were tested for all STDs before starting sexual relations. Many thanks
| 256,601 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The light discharge and dark brown discharge that you are having could be related to the hormonal imbalance caused by the high dose hormonal pill that you have taken. The chances of pregnancy are low but needs to be ruled out if the periods are delayed.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Sharp pain in lower pelvic area and nauseas. Had a heavy brown bleeding, after stopped taking birth controls. Is it normal?
|
Hi, I have recently started the pill (femedone) which i use as a contraceptive . I finished my last pill on Monday 11th Feb and began the 7 day break on Tuesday 12th in which I should have begun the next pack on Tuesday 19th after my 7 day break. However, I took my pill a day early (Monday 18th). Is this ok? Am I still protected? Many thanks, Emily.
| 256,602 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Taking the first pill of the next pack a day earlier is not worrisome. This does not decrease the efficacy of protection. You are still protected against pregnancy. Please do not worry and continue with the rest of the pills.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

Taking morning after pill, have a light discharge and experiencing early pregnancy signs and symptoms. Chances of pregnancy?
|
Hi, this is a last resort but I need to know what my chances are. I'm on yaz birth control. Started a new pack exactly 13 days ago and took them religiously up until this pack. about two days after starting this pack I got strep throat and was put on amoxicillin. I was vomiting at night time (a couple of times) where I don't know if the pill had a chance to fully sink into my body. I went home for seven days, and about 3 days after I went home, I forgot a pill but doubled up the next night. and on day seven of being home I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend where he ejaculated in me. I went back to my apartment (this being the 29th when I went back) my boyfriend and I continued to have unprotected sex repeatedly over 3 day span from the 29th to the 1st. in which over those days I forgot two pills!! Which i threw out and started fresh. I've been bleeding for the past two days (obviously my body doesn't know what's up) but Im stressing and I need to know the chances of pregnancy\ chances of having ovulated. Thanks!!
| 256,603 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. The possibility of protection from pregnancy by the hormonal pills is less in your case, as :- You had vomitings after intake of pill- Antibiotic usage-History of missed pillsSo you better use some additional method of contraception till completion of this pack. And the bleeding you are having could be withdrawal bleeding due to missing the pills.Possibly it will subside soon. Wait till your expected date of periods. If you miss the periods, go for blood test for pregnancy once.If the test comes negative, you can continue your next pack as per the schedule.

Im 20, and a female, ive had the mirena birth control about 2 years now, after a year i stopped bleeding. about a year later im randomly spotting, about a week and a half ago i got in a wreck, and now for about 3 days ive been bleeding, kinda pretty bad, and some times its globs of blood... im scared to go to the doctor i dont know what they will say, can you help me
| 256,604 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The random spotting that you are having now is likely to be due to a mild hormonal disturbance. This can happen while using such contraceptive devices. Please do not worry. This is likely to subside in next few days without any treatment.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Then i was ready threads on how to use it then i took another 3 this 8:20pm... Now im scared that the pill cant be effective anymore.. Since i took it the wrong time... What do u think? Im to young for this.. I dont want to take responsibility :( yet...

Had mirena birth control. Stopped bleeding, random spotting. What does this indicate?

I have been taking cerazette after having my first baby 4 months ago and have been bleeding almost non stop since. I had a uterine infection 2 months ago which was treated with antibiotics and the bleeding stopped for about a week but has since continued. Gp recommended doubling dose of cerazette which after 10 days hasn't made any difference what could be wrong?
| 256,606 |
Hello,Thanks for posting on HCM,At this stage, I do believe that the cause of this postpartum hemorrhage should be investigated further instead of taking cerazette (progsterone hormone). Most common causes of late postpartum hemorrhage could be uterine atony, retained products and unlikely tear. If you are taking cerazette and any of the above causes are responsible then it is useless taking it.I think you should have been referred to a gynobs a while ago as bleeding for 4 months could be very fatal. Having uterine infection could be as a result of retained products and will need to be evacuated with D&C. Hope this helps and wish you the best

Teenager had unprotected sex, taken over dose of Nordette pills. Is it dangerous?

I started lutera 3 months ago and have missed 2 pills in the past 2 weeks but took both the next day as directed as soon as i remembered with the other one taken on time. I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and i now have stopped taking the pill 4 days ago due to bad side effects such as depression, mood swings, etc. i now have light orange, pinkish spotting after i pee when i wipe myself. I know i may be pregnant but what could this be other than pregnancy since i know some people have bleeding and spotting after stopping birth control?

Hello.. my last period was 3rd august.. and I started my yasmin pill on 6th august.. on 7th august @ night I forgot to take so I took next morning.. and again I forgot to take on 11 august so I took 12th august morning.. after thn I took my pills regular but not on same time 2-3 hours late.. now I completed my pills.. today 5th day but still I did not get the period.. I took the pregnancy test. It came negative. . So am I pregnant.. what are the chances?
| 256,608 |
HI, thanks for using healthcare magicOral contraceptive pills such as yasmin are highly effective (99%) at preventing pregnancy when used appropriately.Women commonly forget to take the pill some days or make take it a little later than normal as happened with you.By taking the forgotten pill the next day along with the pill that was due for that day, you should still have been covered.If you had forgotten for 2 days straight then your contraceptive cover would not have been adequate.Pregnancy tests can normally detect pregnancy by day 11 to 14 after conception. If this time had passed when you took the test , it can be considered accurate.If this time has not passed you may want to either consider an early detection kit or a blood HCG level , these can detect lower levels of the pregnancy hormone ,HCG.You should rule out pregnancy before restarting the pills especially if your periods are normally regular.I hope this helps

Pinkish spotting, stopped birth control pill after getting side effects. Pregnant or due to stopping pill?
|
Hello. I am a 22 year old female. 10 months ago I started using the contraceptive implant. It is great only bleeding is irregular. Currently the bleeding has lasted for a whole month. In the last 3 days I have been feeling unwell. On the first day I woke up in the morning with a headache. As the day went on I developed a high temperature (not sure of exact temp as I had no thermometer but I know it was high). Took paracetamol and rested and this just about got rid of the headache and lowered the temp. Day 2 I had a mild headache and felt a bit dizzy at times. I am feeling the same today as I was yesterday. I seem to be quite thirsty as well and at certain intervals during the day I will lose my appetite I can sometimes feel nauseous, though this only last for a short while during the day. Overall I have a good appetite and eat enough every day. Have you any idea what might be causing this? Appreciate any answers thanks
| 256,609 |
Hi Dear,you are suffering from two unrelated problems.Firstly, excessive bleeding due to implant which should be taken care of. In absence of any treatment you will become anemic and develop weakness. Consult your gynae as it can be managed with medicines. However, if no improvement, the implant has to be removed and you can go for other birth control measure.Secondly, the fever which you are having may be seasonal and has to be investigated properly. Consult a physician and get investigated for all possible causes of fever including dengue, malaria and typhoid

Started yasmin pill, infrequent consumption. Pregnancy test negative. Would I get pregnant?

Hi. I am on rigevidon birthing control pill and have been on them since May, so just over 6 months. I have never missed a pill and have always had my period on time. However this time after taking the 21 tables over the 3 weeks and then the week break, I forgot to take the first pill of the new packet. I was meant to start them again yesterday and so took one today as soon as I realised and then will take one later for today at my usual time of doing so. My question is am I still protected or do I need to you another form of contraception?
| 256,610 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Missing the very first pill of the pack does not make much of a difference. Since you have taken the pill as soon as you remembered it, there is no need to worry. No additional protection is needed in this cycle. Please do not worry.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

Headache, high temperature, dizziness, feeling thirsty. History of irregular and continuous bleeding after using contraceptive implant. Opinion?

Hi,I'm 20yrs old 11st 5ft7. I came off the microgynon pill about a month ago. I had a normal withdrawal bleed which lasted about 4 days. I have had the normal symptoms with coming of the pill. However since discontinuing it I have 2 episodes of spotting. For the past two days I have had abdominal cramps, like I would with a period. I started taking vitamins 3 days ago, but today when I went to the toilet my urine was neon yellow, and the same on the tissue. This has only happened once, but after that it's been like a brown bloody discharge. Can you help? Thanks.
| 256,611 |
Welcome to HCM.Yellow color urine usually occurs due to vitamin tablets.Irregular bleeding could be due to hormonal disturbances after withdrawal of microgynon pill.Take any nsaid with antispasmodic to subside cramps.Otherwise go for hormonal study,thyroid profile,s.b12, urine test,USG to rule out further diagnosis and proper medical management under guidance of gynecologist.

Hi,Welcome to Healthcaremagic,This is good and please accept greeting in advance. There are various option available to choose for contraception.In newly married couples oral contraceptive pills are very good option as success rate is very good and for that you need to consult a Gynecologist and discuss and choose one.If you are together for sometime then barrier methods are good if both of you are comfortable.Hope this helps you to take correct decision.Take care.Good Luck.Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.

Hi, I'm currently on the Yasmin birth control pill but am worried about the serious side effects I keep hearing about - ie blood clots.I've had no trouble with it myself so far, thankfully and it does clear up my skin really well.However I've heard about Zoely being a new more natural, less risky alternative to Yasmin, but I'm finding contradicting reviews when it comes to acne. I just wondered if it's likely to make my spots better or worse?
| 256,614 |
Hello,Thanks for posting your query.Yasmin is low dose & proven medication for its risk & benefits, deep vein thrombosis is very rare side effect with such low dose pill.However Zoley is new medication & it is still under trial.I will advice you to go with Yasmin & you can continue it till 50 years of age if not having other co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension or liver disorder.Regards,

Hi,Thanks for the query. The possibility of pregnancy is less in your case. As:- In case of regular 28 periods to 30 days cycles, usually ovulation won't occur on around 23rd day of cycle. -And you took the emergency pill. But emergency pill can alter the menstrual period depending on the period of menstrual cycle when you took the pill. So your periods may get delayed. If you do not get periods even one week after expected date of periods, go for pregnancy test once. Take care.

Taking yasmin birth control. Is using zoely safe?
|
Hi, This question concerns birth control , Plan B, and possible pregnancy. I m 21 years old and lost my virginity to my boyfriend back in November. We used a condom every time but I decided to start birth control to be extra safe back in January. Mid-January, my boyfriend and I had sex twice without a condom in the same weekend but he pulled out both times. I took Plan B the morning after the first mistake, but then we had a little too much to drink two days later and it happened again. I was so scared about getting pregnant that I took another Plan B the next day, four days after taking the first one. I got my period or was bleeding about 3 days later, even though I had had my regular period 2 weeks before. I started birth control a week after taking the second Plan B and on the third day of this second period. The doctor ran some tests and told me that I was not pregnant. I have been on monocyclin (Spintrec) now for three weeks and took the first sugar pill yesterday. I never missed a pill, but took two pills several hours later than the usual time that I take them. My boyfriend came to visit this weekend and we had sex without a condom, but he pulled out. Trust me, I am not proud of how irresponsible that I have been, but I am now getting incredibly nervous. Would it be bad if I took another Plan B, even though I took 2 less than a month ago? I am due to start my period on the pill this week, if I get it, does that mean that I am not pregnant? Is there anything that I can do in the meantime to prevent it or find out? I am due to graduate from college in May and start the next chapter of my life and I cannot fathom getting pregnant right now. I am incredibly worried and would really appreciate some help. Thank you!!
| 256,616 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. I- pill is not a substitute for a regular contraceptive. Repeated doses in a single cycle are not advisable. This can cause a hormonal imbalance causing the menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovaries and irregular spotting or delayed periods.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

On Monocyclin, had unprotected sex and took Plan B twice. Is it safe to take 2 pills in less than a month's gap ?
|
Hello Dr., my periods are regular, they occur usually on the same date every month (around 29th) or just a day before or after. But my last 2 periods i.e., in August and September I had them 3 days before (august I had on 27th and September on 24th). My husband is coming down for holiday on October 16th and will be here until November 9th. I would like to know what contraceptive pill can I take to prevent getting pregnant and from when I have to start it. Also, I am visiting my in-laws from October 19th to October 28th (have some poojas to attend). How can I postpone my period so that I have a happy vacation. Please advice.
| 256,618 |
Hello,From 16th Oct to 18th Oct, you should not take any kind of pill due to safe period. No chance of pregnancy.From 19th to 28th Oct, you should take norethisterone tab 3 times daily to postpone period. Some back up method like condom is advisable during this time.You will get withdrawal bleeding within a week of stopping the medication. Rest of the days up to 9th Nov, you can take emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy.Hope, it helps. Good luck.

Suggest contraceptive pill which wont cause problems to reproductive system?

I've been on birth control pills (Marvelon 28 - Desogestrel / Ethinyl Estra ) for about one and a half year. I missed taking birth control pill for about last four days, is it safe to just restart the birth control package again or is there something I need to know first? The reason I am taking these pills because of sometimes I get really painful and heavy periods.
| 256,619 |
hi, When the BC pills are dropped, & you had unprotected sex,the possibility of conception stands. * If there is no conception, withdrawal bleeding will start within 8 days maximum.This month you can take Velethamate bromide tablet for pain relief.( 1 tab twice a day after food) It is better to wait for withdrawal bleeding & start a new pack on 5th day of bleeding. * If there is no withdrawal, get blood HCG test done ,In case it's +ve, you will have to go for MTP thanks.

Suggest contraceptive pill to prevent getting pregnant?
|
hi, i am just curious, my partner and i have had protected intercourse twice in the past 4/5 weeks. after having a previous mishap months before and falling pregnant, i took the morning after pill as an extra precaution. A day or two after my period ended there has been brown discharge, not constantly just every so often a small amount. could you tell me why this is?
| 256,620 |
Hi,If the intake of the emergency pill was done within the stipulated time interval, chances of pregnancy are very less even if unprotected intercourse happens during the ovulation period. The spotting observed at present could be due to the pill as often menstrual disturbances are seen as after effects of emergency pill intake. As it contains excess hormone, it so disrupts the hormonal milieu that it takes some time for things to get back to normal. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.

Missed taking birth control pills, painful and heavy periods. Safe to restart the pills again?
|
Hi, Last month (early August) I stopped taking my birth control pills with intensions on going back to my doctor to be prescribed new ones. I had a slightly heavier period when I stopped taking them. I was expecting my cycle earlier this month so when I had spotting I thought it was normal however I never got my period. I ve been having a brown discharge for two weeks now. I have no foul smell or pain. It s more of a nuisance than anything. I ve had the same partner for the past 6years and did have intercourse in August but the chances of pregnancy are very slim to none.
| 256,621 |
Hello,Welcome to Healthcaremagic.I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Brown discharge is normal in women taking birth control pills.Brown vaginal discharge can just be the old residual blood from the periods and hence harmlessThis can happen as your body adjusts to the artificial hormones in the pills, which work like natural hormones to regulate your uterus when it sheds its lining.If the brown discharge is associated with odor, consult your gynecologist immediately.Because it could be due to infection.Hope this helps.Please reply for further queries.Wishing you good health.

Had unprotected sex, took ipill. Had brown discharge after periods. Cause?

Hi i took the depo shot about 5 months ago and i havent taken a second one. I have been spotting since until now. I am currrently taking birth control for over two months now but i am still spotting. I am 23, 135 ponuds if that helps. The pill that am currently taking is called marvelon. As of next week i will be starting the third pack. please advise on how i could stop spotting immediately as i have a sceduled vacation in less than a month.
| 256,622 |
Hi,Thanks for consulting us.First of all have a pelvic ultrasound & preferably pelvic examination by a Gynecologist to rule out any local cause of this spotting. Also have a pap smear test if not done already. If both are normal you may request your doctor to prescribe you a higher dose pill or an additional progesterone containing pill. These two are likely to resolve your problem.Usually, this spotting disappears after first few months of pill usage. You may just wait & see if it is tolerable for you.Hope you get well soon.Take care.

Does the effectiveness of ipill reduce for regular smokers(4-5 cigarettes per day). I have a history of anemia . My periods started on 27th of January and this time they abnormally extended till 4th feb. I had intercourse on 5th feb and had the pill within an hour. I had temperature fluctuations on the 5th but no other side effects at all. What are the chances of pregnancy?
| 256,623 |
Hello, There is seldom any effect of smoking on contraceptive pill taken by you (i pill) or which are taken after any intercourse, and once you had periods started on 4th and had intercourse on 5th than there are very rare chances for any pregnancy.So you don't worry here in your case no any chance of pregnancy after intercourse during your periods. Good luck and take care

Hello! So, I have been on Diane 35 for two months (after my gynecologyst prescribed it to me). It worked well, especially that I suffer from acne, the other thing is that I found out that Diane 35 is useful for breats enlarging, which is also good. But, nowadays, there is lots of noise about Diane 35 and there are articles abt some women who died because of it and it s no longer allowed to be sold as a contraceptive but only as an acne treatment . I went to another doctor today and she prescribed Gracial to me. She said it is like Diane 35. I feel bad about changing Diane 35 though, it was perfectly suitable, even if I took it only for two months, I had no side effects and my acne has been reduced. Should I go for this Gracial? and depending on your knowledge, is Gracial good? Thank you!
| 256,624 |
greeting.Diane-35 shoud only be use to treat severe acne and hirstism in case acne which has not responded to oral antibiotcs it is reported that 3-4 women per 10000 per year may developed thrombosis ..it would be wise to discontinue Diane-35. if you feel that the risk out way the benefit.meanwhile in case of Gracial it reported to good response and lesser umwanted side effect...feel free for further query and any clarification..thank.

Does regular smokers have less effectiveness of ipill? Took pill after intercourse. Pregnancy chances?

I am on a birth Control pill and have been on it since the end of June...about 15-16 days ago i was suppose to start my period. I was roughly a day or two late, but had very light bleeding...1-2 tampons a day bleeding...three days ago my lower back started hurting really bad. It felt/feels like a fist is being drove into my lower spine near the tailbone...when the back pain started i also started bleeding again with a lot of blood clots...am i having a miscarige?
| 256,625 |
Hi and thanks for the query,You need not worry of the bleeding in case this is the first time you are on birth control pills. this is a common side effect experienced by some women on birth control pills. your doctor shall carefully examine you to be sure that there is no other condition is causing this. In case nothing is seen, the pills could be removed or replaced with another carefully discussed and accepted upon birth control method.The pain in the tail bone area might not actually have to do with the bleeding at times. However, conditions more serious like some cancers of the uterus could spread to nearby bones and cause such manifestations. I strongly suggest you consult your gynecologist for a complete physical examination, ultrasound, uterine biopsy to exclude any cancerous process and get a spinal x ray done around the tail bone area. Thanks and hope this helps as I wish you the best of health. Kind regards.Bain LE, MD

Used Diane 35, reduced acne problems, helped in breast enlargement. Prescribed Gracial. Is it good?

Hi, I've had the contraceptive implant for 2yearand the last 8 months I have been having really bad experience.. I have been on my period constantly for the last 2years! Only had about 2weeks off. . I have been getting really bad back pains.. Lost of hair. Really bad hot flushes, dizzy spells & anxiety. Don't want to eat a lot. Feeling drain all the time. Really bad mood swings, were I will be happy one minute and then the next minute I will be all sad and emotional for no reason.I'm just wondering if you have any advice on what I should do?Thanks
| 256,626 |
Hi and thanks for the query,It is not unusual t experience bleeding abnormalities, especially with contraceptive implants. It is advisable to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation in case of excessive bleeding. Other contraceptive options could be discussed and proposed. Excess bleeding for the time being can explain weakness and tiredness due to excessive blood loss. Examined the back for pain might really have no relationship with the bleeding. Ultrasound, X rays could with good physical examinations could be of immense help. The mood problems might to be discussed in depth with first, your primary care physician, and then seek the services of a psychologist. These could be good starting points in the management process. Wishing you good health.Bain LE, MD

Have bleeding, blood clots, lower spine and tailbone area pain. On birth Control pill. Why does this happen?
|
Hi, i am currently on Cyclafem birth control and have been taking it every day for 8 months. I recently switched to a different manufacturer of it because of moving to college. I have been having little abdominal pain and gas after switching. Could the new birth control be causing this or something else? THe birth control says it is same medication just different manufacturer label. Thank you
| 256,627 |
NamastheWelcome to HCMGreetings of the dayIts unlikely to be due to medication or change in brand. drink lots of water and consume food high in fiber. If there are no associated complaints like urinary complaints or Vaginal discharge then rest be assured that everything is fine. Experiencing gas and abdominal pain are very common once a while.Take CareRegards

Back pain, dizziness, anxiety, drained out, mood swings. Had the contraceptive implant. Is it related?

Age: 22, Weight: 127 Height: 5 8.5 history: MTHFR genetic defect, asthma family history: grandparents with breast cancer and prostate cancer , dad: high blood pressure. I have always had an irregular period, and cannot use hormones for birth control. Because I am getting married in two weeks, I got a copper IUD inserted two weeks ago, and I am bleeding like crazy. The heavy bleeding started two days ago. I put in a super tampon, and within an hour I had bled through my pants and I am passing larger than quarter sized blood clots, sometimes two at a time. I am afraid that I might be losing too much blood. I am also bloated and cramping, but I know these are regular symptoms. I don t want to have to take out the IUD and find another method of birth control that isn t a hormone in just two weeks because I don t want anything to go wrong with negative side effects on the honeymoon. Is there something I can do?

Hi,Thanks for the query. While being on IUCD, some amount of menstrual irregularity is common. But as you are having excessive bleeding, better to consult gynecologist once. With her advice take anti - fibrinolytic drugs to control the bleeding. Then you can go for additional hormonal pills for few days, to regularize the cycles. No need to remove IUCD during this period.After stopping the pills you can continue with IUCD.Take care.

Have abdominal pain, gastric issues. On Cyclafem birth control. Are they related?

Hello, I am a 22-year-old, diagnosed with PCOS and had my right fallopian tube and ovary removed at age 16. Since then, my other ovary have 3 small cysts and I am just now having normal periods. Currently I was put on birth control, a continuous regimen, skipping the placebo pills. I am on my 3rd pack. However, on my 2nd pack, I was to take 4 pills per day for 4 days, 3 pills for 3 days, 2 pills for 4 days, and 1 pill per day since. Now, I am in the middle of the pack, I started spotting yesterday, I am extremely fatigued and nauseus, along with having a bad headache. Is it possible I am pregnant? I took a HPT but it came back negative. Is it possible it is too early to detect?
| 256,629 |
Hello ma'am.First of all, you need to cinduct a urine pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample either 2 weeks after your last sexual contact or on or after the first day of a missed period.As for the symptoms they could also be due to a hormonal change/imbalance caused by the pills that you are taking.Hope this helps.Best wishes.

MTHFR genetic defect, heavy bleeding post IUD insertion, bloating and cramping, do not want to used hormonal birth control. Other options?

I had a copper IUD put in on Thursday. Friday developed a rash behind my ear. That night had rash on chest. Over weekend has spread to forehead nose ear belly button and groin. Is red raised thin fluid filled. If open is a yellow crust. Spot on groin is a quarter size welt. All very very itchy. And a burning sensation. Was given a depomerol shot and diflucan for possible yeast between chest. I do have a nikel sensitive to earrings. Could this be related to the IUD?
| 256,630 |
Hello ma'am.What you could be experiencing is a reaction to the IUCD, but this can be ascertained only after knowing what type of IUD was inserted and whoch metals it contains.I would urge you to visit your doctor regarding the same and get the IUD removed if this is indeed due to the IUD.Hope this helps.Take care.

I ve been on Nortrel ( birth control pill ) for over a year now, and for the past 4 months I ve been getting my period a week before the placebo pill is supposed to start. It s been really annoying because before that it started the first day of the placebo pill every month like clockwork. My gynecologist said it s from stress , but I don t feel overly stressed. Life has been pretty normal. I take my pills every day at the same time as well.
| 256,631 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The beginning of periods before the beginning of the placebo pills can be due to a mild hormonal disturbance. Since the periods are regular, there is nothing to worry. This will regularize on its own in a few cycles. Right now no treatment is needed for this.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

Hello. I had intercourse on sept 12th b4 this date I had missed some of my birth control pills (jolessa) . The day after I found a chart on the internet where u can use birth control pills as an emergency contraceptive so I took 4pills and then 4 pills 12 hours later . I was uneasy about it working so the day after I took these pills which was Saturday I went and took the plan b pill now im having stomach/ abdominal pain. Should I be worried if im pregnant? ?? My cycle is still late.
| 256,632 |
HelloYou have taken an overdose of hormonal pills. Thats definitely not done. Obviously due to sudden influx of hormonal medication, your cycles will be erratic. Expect irregular cycles.
|
On Nortrel, was getting regular periods week before placebo. Delayed periods. Is it due to stress ?
|
Hi I been on the birth control shot since September. I haven t miss not one of appointment nor my period. I been having headaches for the past 3 weeks. Nauseous and sleepy. I also have pink pad that keeps record of my ovulation days and menstruation days. Is there a chance I can be pregnant? I had intercourse on the most affect days
| 256,633 |
Hi,Your symptoms could be due to the contraceptive. Though you had intercourse during your fertile period, since you were regular with your contraception, the chances of conception are minimal. Yet, you should exclude/confirm pregnancy. If you wish for an early confirmation, please get the serum beta-hCG test. Else, you can wait for your next cycle and if you miss it, test for pregnancy with a fresh early morning sample of urine 3-7 days later. Hope you find this information helpful. Good luck.

Last night I experienced extreme pain in my lower abdomen and leg. I had been taking norethisterone for around 2-3 months and started randomly bleeding lightly last Sunday, still bleeding Saturday just past I stopped taking the tablets as not to waste them. It felt like someone was twisting my insides last night I was sweating and nauseous and could not stop the pain with ibuprofen or heat and the pain just got worse at some point I must have passed out and awoke later drenched in sweat with the pain even more intense abdomen and leg so i got up and I noticed the bleeding had became worse and found a blood clot around the size of piece of liver the pain gradually disappeared but I feel like I have been kicked by a horse from the inside out and I still have some pain in my leg. Was this a result of the pills?
| 256,634 |
Hi,The passage of the large clot may have caused the pain and the associated nausea and sweating. Prolonged use of estrogen or progesterone can result in several side effect including circulation disturbances like thrombosis of limb vessels and embolisms. Please contact your health care provider immediately for assistance. You should get blood counts, bleeding and clotting time along with a trans-vaginal/pelvic sonogram to look for local causes. You should stop taking the drug and follow your doctor's instructions. Wish you good health.

On birth control, nausea, sleepy, headaches since 3 weeks after sex. Is there a chance of pregnancy ?
|
Hello my fiancé and I use birth control (I'm on the pill). All month long I have been feeling sick to my stomach, constipated, lower back pain, and my breasts are heavier than usual. My "period" was 3 days late and it's unusually brown and very light( only lightly bloody when I wipe or use the restroom) and i had excruciating back pain. i have taken a pregnancy test and it came out negative although I am convinced that I am pregnant because of all my symptoms. What should I do? I am worried and stressed about it all and I just want to know if I'm pregnant or if its something else.
| 256,635 |
Hello,Chance of pregnancy is quite low on regular taking of birth control pill. However, do one blood test for beta-hcg to clear confusion about pregnancy. It is more reliable than home pregnancy test at early stage.Other causes are side effect of birth control pill itself, PMS, pelvic infection etc. Kindly, consult with your doctor after undergoing above test.Take balanced diet, drink more eater, anti-spasmodic medication & muscle relaxant gel for low back pain, maintain genital hygiene. Good luck.

Lower abdominal pain, taking norethisterone, random bleeding with clots, no relief with ibuprofen. Side effect of pill?

Hello! About 2 weeks ago, I developed an abscess on my tonsil and was admitted into the hospital. While there, I was given an IV where I received antibiotics and steroids for 24 hours. After I was discharged I was given a prescription of Augmentin to take for 10 days. During this time, I did have sex for the first time. I am on the pill and I have been for 5 years due to PCOS. We used condoms and didn't have any accidents with the condom breaking. My last menstrual cycle was July 10th. They usually last for a week and begin either on the 3rd day of the white pill or the first day of my next birth control pack. I have yet to have started and I am a little worried (I'm on my second pill of my new pack). I know antibiotics effect birth control, but we made sure to use condoms that had spermicide. Could the antibiotics or even the amount of medication I've been taking (steroids, pain medication, and now antihistamines for an allergic reaction to the Augmentin) affect my period?
| 256,636 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Some antibiotics do affect the efficacy of birth control but Augmentin is comparatively safe and shows a lesser interaction with the birth control pills. You may avoid taking an additional protection to avoid pregnancy.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

I am taking this pill called Marvelon. I forgot to take my pill on Saturday from what I thought, it is now Sunday, I just took the Saturday pill and now the Sunday pill both at the same time because I just remembered. It has been more than 12 hours though. However, after taking them both I realised that I took the Saturday pill but from a different row by accident. I don't know what to do, I'm kind of worried
| 256,637 |
HelloIts ok that you took both pills at the same time, as soon as you remembered. But dont miss any more pills in this cycle or you wont be protected. About taking the wrong pill from the different row, as long as its the same colour,its fine. If you remember to take the saturday pill from the row you missed before, you can continue,.If your are confused, abandon this pack. Start a new pack from your next cycle. use extra protection for the remainder of this cycle.

i started my period on Sunday so i also started taking birth control with this period. Saturday i had unprotected sex. for the past two days i have been feeling extreamly sick to my stomich and like i need to be in bed all day long. could this be because of my new birth control pills making me feel so bad or could i possably be pregant?
| 256,638 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. If you used the pills as per the schedule, the possibility of pregnancy is less. The symptoms you are having could be due to:-Side effects of the pills-Pelvic infectionSo, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined. If there is any evidence of infection, you can take treatment for that. If there is no infection, you can take symptomatic treatment. Possibly the symptoms will subside soon. Take care.

i am 20 years old & sexually active with my boyfriend of a year.. i have been on birth control for about 3 or 4 years now and i had missed around 4 pills this week by accident i forot them at his house, so i have been trying to catch up the last couple days.. last night i woke up woth a disturbing sharp pain in my mid belly and almost feeling nausious.. i got back to sleep and woke up nd still no change.. had a nap and woke up and noticed a brown discharge ... ive had cramps before and i know this isnt cramps.. what could it be ? my mom said i could of gotten in the process of fertility and when i took my pills again it is basically aborting and now cleaning my ystem out.. i just need some help please
| 256,639 |
Hi,The symptoms you are having could be withdrawal effects of the pills, as you missed 4 pills. But if you had intercourse on the days when you missed the pills and after that, there is possibility of pregnancy. Now you use some additional contraceptive measure till the completion of this pack. Then if you do not get withdrawal bleeding within one week of stopping the pills, go for pregnancy test. If the test comes positive, consult gynecologist get examined and go for ultrasound. Depending on the gestational age, you can proceed further. For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum.Take care.

Sharp pain in mid belly and feeling nauseas. Have cramps and brown discharge, missed birth control. What could it be?

Hi there, I had a question regarding birth control and it's effectiveness with taking it at the same time every day. I take Junel Fe 1/20, 28-pill packet, and have never missed a dose although I take the pills within an hour or two and a half (if I really had I busy day and forgot) of each other everyday. Since it's a lower dosage pill I'll be more adamant about taking them around the same time more consistently. So my question was: the condom broke today but I've been on the pill since June or July. Do I have a need to worry about pregnancy occurring? I have four pills left of Week 3 before I take the sugar pills. Again I take the pills every day but not at the exact same time, usually within an hour - 2 hours of each others (2 hours + if incredibly busy that day and lose track of time).
| 256,641 |
Hi,Initially for one month starting taking low dosage pill, there are possibility of having pregnancy but after wards it is very safe.Time for taking pill an hour or so difference is no matter of worry.Ok and take care.

Hello,I have been taking the birth control called Microgestin Fe 1/20. I haven't had any problems with it since I began taking in December 2012, after the birth of our son. Well since then I always seem to have an issue getting my prescription refilled with my Doc. When I call my refill in my pharmacy, there is ALWAYS a delay. She seems to want me to come in once a month for a check up. I have been on different types of BC in the past, & usually after your first pap your in the clear for a year with BC, unless a problem occurs. Why do I have to go to the doc so often, when all she ever asks me is how are the pills agreeing with me? Is there any way I can purchase my pills online? I am so tired of going back & forth to the doc when it's not necessary. I'm healthy, not issues, please help!
| 256,642 |
Hi,Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. Ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). To buy Microgestin its always better to buy from pharmacy, if you want to buy online you need to google and find out if any websites offer you this drug in your country. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.Thank you,Wish you good health.Regards,Dr ArifYou can consult me again directly through my profilehttp://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-arif-n-khan/65133

I m on the combined pill microgynon and today six days into my new pack after the pill free week and a normal period which normally lasts around 3 days into my new pack I forgot to take my pill this morning. When I went to the toilet I wiped away some red blood . Just a small amount and nothing else since. What could be causing this breakthrough bleeding? Could it be because I forgot to take my pill that morning?
| 256,643 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. Yes, the spotting you noticed could be break through bleeding due to missing the pillAnyhow as 24 hours not yet over, you take the pill now. And continue remaining pills as usual. Possibly your spotting will subside soon. If the spotting continues, consult gynecologist once and take tablets to control it.For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum. Take care.

I'm on Depo my last shot was 7-17-13 and I have been on it regularly for about 4 years. Today I have experienced moderate to sever lower abdomen cramping, back pain, and brownish spotting. I have seen one bright red small clot. I miscarried 12-15-13 at 9 weeks. this pain is similar but I haven't had the bright red blood. I took a pregnancy test around the beginning to middle of August. Results were negative. What could this be?

Good Day, My name is Charlene, 32 year old lady. I've been on the 2months injection eversince the birth of my daughter, she's turning 15 in Oct. I would really want to have a child by next year, God willing. Any advice what to use as the clinic sister I've been visiting said that i have to use the birth control tablets 2 weeks before my injection leaves my body. I want to know on which one is the best one to use?
| 256,645 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Since you have already taken an injection for birth control, now it is not possible to reverse its effect. You will have to wait for at least two months before trying for conception.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

Hi, iv been on the rigevidon pill for about 1 year. When I recently went to the doctors for another 6 months of the pill subscription I was given microgynon 30. I was told by a friend that they are basically the same and she had been given both in the past. I did 1 pack of the new pills and felt no change, I am on my second pack now and I'm really not feeling great. I feel nauseous, dizzy, my whole body aches. Is this because of the pill? Should I change to the old one?
| 256,646 |
Hi..Thanks for the query..Both of the pills you had used are almost the same..The symptoms you are having are also attributable to the hormonal content of the pills..You can try the same for 2-3 more cycles and even after that if you feel the same you can switch to the older formulation..Take proper food and keep yourself well hydrated always..Take care...

After consuming it I felt short period of sickness, but from yesterday I'm having stomach aches, tasteless mouth & mouth watering. Suggest me what to do & what not?
| 256,647 |
Hi, unwanted 72 is a harmone preparation, so there will be gastric irritation, and more over you have used two packs in 72 hours. So you had gastric irritation, and cramps. I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazole, domperidone, and antacid gel for relief. Thank you.

I have recently started birth control Apri about 15 days ago, I used the first day start method and I am still on my period.I have recently been on Reclipsin however I stopped that a few months ago, and switch to Apri, when I was on reclipsin my period had lasted 23 days. I really just want to stop bleeding so I can get on with everything, but don't know if I should switch pills again, wait it out, or start taking the inactive pills a week earlyI also pretty much need to be on the pill because I cant afford BCP and am only on the pill because it is covered by Obamacare. Please help me! I really don't want to continue having a month long period, its miserable!
| 256,648 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Changing the birth control pill can cause some hormonal imbalances causing a prolonged bleeding.

| 256,649 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. If you are taking your birth control pills regularly without missing even a single pill then pregnancy is not likely.

my wife took 4 pcs of nordette 32 hours after sex (i ejaculated inside) its her first day on her period (last wednesday), and its been 4 days after she stopped taking trust pills. we had an intercouse and i ended up ejaculating inside, not 1 hour later, i let her took 2 pcs of trust pills, 24 hours later, she took 2 pcs again, and finally 32 hours later (after the intercourse), i bought a pack of nordette, she took 4 pcs and 12 hours later 4 pcs again. after taking the 2nd dose of nordette, (if not) 12 hours or 24 hours later, i kinda forgot, but i still let her continue taking trust pills, only 1 pc every dose this time, up to now, im planning on letting her take trust pills until this coming friday, as we had an intercourse yesterday morning (monday), after that we ll wait for her period to confirm if she s pregnant or not. is there still a chance for her to not get pregnant after taking all those pills mentioned?
| 256,650 |
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Your wife took nordett (levonorgetrel +ethinyloestradiol) first day on her period so no chance of pregnancy in first attempt.As she is already on trust pills , so no chance. After 2nd sex she also took nordett 32 hours later on , no chance of pregnancy, ( 12 hours after 2nd dose). Now she is also taking trust pill so even after stopping the pill , no chance of pregnancy because ovulation time has already passed , now only wait for normal period. Good luck. Dr. HET

So I've been on the birth control pill (Ortho Tri Cyclen) for about a month now, and about 5 days ago I accidentally took my pill 4 hours late.That same day, I started getting brown discharge and i figured it was because of the late pill.Well I'm supposed to start taking my placebo pills and start my period in 5 days, but the brown discharge is still continuous and very heavy.Is the normal? Am I pregnant?I would "call my doctor" but i don't know how.Thanks in advance!
| 256,652 |
HelloThanks for your query.Taking just one pill 4 hours late would not affect the efficacy of the birth control pill.It is alright to spot when on the birth control pill.If this recurs every month, you are experiencing breakthrough bleeding.This occurs because the dose of hormones in the pill is not adequate for you, and you must be switched over to another brand with more hormone dose.ALso, during the first pack of pill use, a backup method like condoms is always advised.Take a pregnancy test after a week just to be sure.All the best.

I have been taking levlen ed for two cycles now, my first period I skipped and I am concerned that I will not get my second period. I have a history of unreliable periods after going 6 months without one and not being pregnant. I'm concerned that if I start taking the 7 day non hormonal pills and I don't get a period that I could be at risk of pregnancy.
| 256,653 |
Hi, The idea behind oral contraceptive is to avoid ovulation. for this a regular pill consumption from 5th day of cycle is a must. Naturally to start a pill without periods is not going to work.It will have a untoward effect ,if taken in a pregnant stage. You need investigations ( USG,ovulation study) for your period irregularity. An expert advice should follow the investigation. Thanks.

It finally went away but now I still feel weird..not very good like it could happen again. I'm not on any medicines only birth control. What is this....

Hello Doctor,I am 31 yrs old, going to be married in 2 months. I have a regular 28 day cycle, but I had PCOS earlier. But I have been cured now. The problem is my marriage date is coinciding with my period date. I have been suggested to take Femilon tablets to postpone my periods as well as for contraception after marriage. Is it okay to postpone periods with Femilon ? What type of side effects should I expect ?
| 256,655 |
Hi, It is true that Femilon is a contraceptive and is used for many problems. It can work in postponing your periods while you are not planning a baby. Some side effects include those of gastro-intestinal tract: nausea, vomiting, and general health like weight gain, bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, etc. Therefore, if you plan to use it for long time, please consult your OG. Hope it helped!

I ve been on implanon for about 5 months now and have had continuos bleeding and now it has suddenly stopped, I have no bleeding but I now have a white discharge and cloudy urine . I was wondering why this would happen, if it s normal, and could I be pregnant? I don t have any other signs of pregnancy, I would just like to know is this is normal?
| 256,656 |
Hello ma'am.Yes this is seen as a side effect of implanon insertion, but at times could be related to infections as well. Which is why you will have to visit your doctor at the earliest. Other symptoms like frequent urination, burning sensation while urinating, fever, chills, difficulty or irritation or pain during intercourse, blood in urine, etc; are some of the most common symptoms to suspect an infection.Hope this helps.Best wishes.

Hi, my doctor has prescribed the Birth Control Lindynette for me, however I am afraid of starting as I was on Minigyon before which caused massive mood swings and breast tenderness etc. I then went on Diane which caused my blood pressure to go through the roof and 30 lbs in weight gain even though I was exercising like crazy. As a result, I have been researching Lindynette in a bid to determine what the side effects are. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Many thanks
| 256,658 |
Hello ma'am.Most birth control pills have the same side effects and it is only the individual-specific response that decides the different side effects that are experienced. So be adviced that all birth control pills have side effects, it is the one which suits you best with least or no side effects that should be tried and chosen for permanent use.Hope this helps.Best wishes.

I ve been taking microgestin for about 4 years now and on birth control for 7. In the beginning of 2013 I was off of the pills for 2 months and started back. The pack that I m on now I m into my 3rd week and I have been experiencing breakthrough bleeding or withdrawal on month long. This has never happened in the 4 years that I ve been on the pill. I m also experience fatigue , stomach cramps, and mild back aches. Also, I take my pills back to back so that I do not have periods at all. Should I take a pregnancy test? Is it possible that the hormones are not strong enough anymore? Is it possible to get pregnant even though you take the pill everyday ( just not the same time everyday)?

Hello,With microgestin pregnancy rate is quite low. But you started new pack after stopping 2 months and above features may be associated with adverse effect of the pill itself or possible conception.If you have missed period, it is better to undergo one home pregnancy test at the earliest and repeat the test after waiting 7 days to rule out pregnancy.Kindly, consult with your gynecologist after that and take suggestive measure. In the mean time, take balanced diet, drink more fluid, avoid stress and take adequate rest. Good luck.

Breast tenderness, mood swings, high BP, weight gain. Prescribed birth control Lindynette. Are they side effects?
|
Hi.. Post sex I took an ipill but i took it after 72 hours. Ive been habing cramping, nausea bachache since about a week. Do side effects of ipill last so long or could this mean early pregnancy symptoms?? Just for your information i had sex on 7th or 8th sept and my next period is due on 28th sept ( last one was 28th aug). Im waiting in anticipation as its too early to take a pregnancy test . Pls suggest. Thanks surbhi
| 256,660 |
Hi, you had unprotected sex on 8th of aug. previous period is on 28th aug. So ovulation is expected to be be around 14th aug. So there is is no possibility of pregnancy, These symptoms may be due to the pill, or some thing else. Thank you.

Taking Microgestin. Have breakthrough bleeding, fatigue, stomach cramps, back pain. Pregnancy test?

Hlo I had sex with my b.f on 7th sep. ....nd I took I pill within 2 hours without ny ejaculation as he jst inserted his half penis and the condom torn out and he immediately take it out...bt to b on safer side I took I pill within 2 hours. ..my last period date was 24 aug bt frm 18th I started to bleed is it my regular periods or that unexpected bleeding which occurs after taking the pill
| 256,661 |
HelloThanks for your query.The I pill is known for preponing or postponing your normal menstrual period by a week, and sometimes even by 7 - 10 days.Hence, the bleeding you experienced was most probably an early period.However, just to be on the safer side, take a pregnancy test on the 26 th or 27th just to be sure.All the best.

Hi, i ve been on the Noriday pill for 10 months now (i was on the Depo Injection prior to it), i started having heavy periods at the start of December and i m on my fourth period now. Is this normal for this pill? The reason i went on this particular one was because it was similiar to the Depo Injection. I didnt get any periods with the Depo.
| 256,662 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. Noriday pill is a mini pill containing progesterone. During the usage of contraceptive pills some amount of irregularity in menstrual flow is common. If you are having heavy bleeding, you can take symptomatic treatment for that and can continue the pills. If same problem repeats frequently better to think of changing the contraceptive method. You discuss this with your doctor and proceed according to her advice. Take care.

Had sex, no ejaulation. Taken Ipill. Had bleeding. What does it mean?
|
sir, i get marry just 5 months ago. my wife took unwanted 72 for birth control . but she got lot of problems like weight loss , headache , body pain, tiredness, n feeling too weakness. and her periods are irregular for one n half months, i mean she did not get periods for 1and half month. last time when she got periods, there were blood cloud from her vagina during periods. m worry due to this. and her body skin is going down and becoming dark. so how her body and face get the previous freshness and glowing face? what should be the diets in her meal and daily routine. plz suggest sir.....
| 256,663 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. Usage of one emergency contraceptive pill may not lead to all these problems. She may be having some underlying hormonal problem. So once consult gynecologist, get examined. If she recommends go for ultrasound and hormonal profile once. By this the possible cause of her problem can be made out and treatment can be given. She can take nutritious diet including fruits, vegetables, cereals, eggs, milk, fish, meat etc.Taking small quantities of food at frequent intervals is beneficial. For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum. Take care.

Hi, I had unprotected sex with my partner and we weren't sure if he came inside me so I took the plan b one step pill but as I was taking it, it dissolved in my mouth and drank water to wash it down my throat but I'm scared to know that it didn't work. Will it still work if it dissolved in my tongue? Will the chances of the pill not working increase?
| 256,665 |
Hi,If tablet dissolved in the mouth and if you have swallowed all medicine into your stomach with water then medicine is goin to work.If you have thrown out this liquid out side then its effectiveness is doubtful.Ok and take care.

Taking novelon, missed pill and had sex on same day. Chances of getting pregnant?
|
Yes, I take sprintech 28 birth control, and on my last packet I missed pills but took them the next day. I then started my period a week before I should've. Well I've been taking my pill regularly but I've been on my period for 28 days now. My dad is a RN and has been for 20 something years, I'm on my last week of blue pills, then next week I started my period so could I just go ahead and replace this week with my period week? And see if that helps?
| 256,666 |
Hello ma'am.First of all, the irregularity of your pill taking schedule will have to be reported and secondly, there is a reason why this regimen exists. I would advice you against experimenting and to visit your doctor at the earliest to find the safest and most logical solution.Hope this helps.Best wishes

Had unprotected sex. Taken Plan B. How far does it work?
|
Hello! I'm 23 year old filipina and i had sex this morning but my boy friend's condom slipped out after his ejaculation. Since it's my 14th day from my first day of period, I am thinking that I am fertile so I wanna take an emergency contraceptive pill. I've searched the internet and only Nordette is available here in the philippines. Do you think it will be alright to take this pill?
| 256,667 |
Hello,Yes, there is high chance of pregnancy in fertile days with unprotected sex or slipping of condom.If nordette is only available in your region, then it can be taken as emergency pill. 4 pills are to be taken at once (within first 24 hrs) and another 4 pills need to be taken after 12 hrs gap.You will get withdrawal bleeding within 5-7 days and next cycle may be delayed for 1-2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance. Do one home pregnancy test if your period is delayed more than 1 week.Practice safe sex in future. Good luck.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. After taking an I-pill, it is common to have a delay in the periods due to the hormonal effects of the tablet.

Hi I am on the cerazette pill for just over a year now . I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend last sunday and I forgot to take my pill this morning wednesday. I was just out of the 12 hr window as I would normally take it at 8.30am but I took it at 9pm just minutes ago . Should I get the morning after pill as I am worried . This is the first pill I have ever missed .
| 256,670 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Forgetting only a single pill of cezarette does not increase the chances of pregnancy much.

Had unprotected sex. Missed Cerazette dose. Morning after pill required?

Hello, my girlfriend took Norifam to prevent pregnancy. she s supposed to have it injected on the 1st day of her period but instead, she had it on the last day. I figured the reason for having it on the first day of her period is to make sure she s not pregnant. By then we never had contact from her first day to the last, so I was sure that she wasn t pregnant. I read that users usually have periods 2 weeks after the injection however she hasn t. I m just worried because it s been 3 weeks and she still haven t had that supposed menstruation after the injection. Could she be pregnant? Or is there even a possibility that she could be pregnant considering that she had Norifam?
| 256,672 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The chances of pregnancy are almost nil. It is not necessary to have periods two weeks after Norifam. The absence of periods is not suggestive of pregnancy.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

I got my first depo provera shot around the beginning of June. For July I would spot, as expected. But for some of July, all of August, and now September, I have been having what I am not sure is dark brown almost black discharge or spotting everyday and it hasn't stopped. I always have to be wearing a pad, but I know it's not a period. I have had constant unprotected sex since the beginning of July (all with the same partner) sometimes more than once a day.. About 3 weeks ago, I began to randomly get dizzy, and now I am always tired and exhausted. I am due for my next shot around September 13th. Is it likely that I am pregnant?
| 256,674 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. After a depo shot, the chances of pregnancy are less than 1%. The mild spotting that you are having is due to the side effect of the depo shot. Please do not worry.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

My last period was July. I have been getting sharp stomach cramps latly like period cramps ( reason for the IUD) but know period, and no I m not pregant (LESBIAN).Any suggestion????
| 256,676 |
Hi, you are getting these symptoms after 9 months of inserting mirena. It appears to be the infection, that is causing pain, and spotting. There may be anemia as well. There may be no possibility of the pregancy. Any how i advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.

Hi. Me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex 1 am, but due to anxiety (mine) i didn t release any sperm at all. I made her take nordette this 6 am, then later at 6 pm. Sex happened two days later after her fertile days, and She said she had a regular menstrual cyle for the past two months, when would we suspect the bleeding?
| 256,677 |
Hi, your girl friend had regular periods, in last 2 months, and after unprotected sex she had nordette, so she must have period, with in a week of the pills. Any how why do you play with the natural process,you can have other physical measures. With this she will have total reshedule of the periods. So take care of the both. Thank you.

I take Ortho Tri Cyclen and have for almost ten years. I'm 31 years of age. I started a new pack this past Sunday, September 8. I also took the Monday pill. I misplaced my pill pack (and honestly forgot about them) until yesterday, Friday, September 13. I missed four pills from the first week. My husband and I had intercourse on Sunday, September 8, the first day of the new pack of pills. I took two pills last night and two today to get caught up. Today, I had some very minor pinkish spotting. I'm wondering if there's a chance I may have conceived. We had sex five days ago. My period isn't to start for another two weeks. Do I need to use a back up method for the rest of the month? How early can I take a pregnancy test? Do I have to wait until I miss my period? Thanks for your time.
| 256,678 |
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pink spotting that you had after the intercourse could be due to withdrawal bleeding. Missing the pills or alteration of the pills sequence can cause such a spotting. It is best to use a double protection to avoid pregnancy in this cycle.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

Taken Nordette after unprotected sex. When will bleeding happen?
|
Hello, I m a 30 yr old physically fit woman. I m experiencing a lack of appetite , nausea , frequent urination (getting up several times through night), and headaches. I started birthcontrol a little over a month ago. I wasn t great about taking the pill everyday, and I believe it threw off my period because it only lasted one day. I took a pregancy test 2 days later (I used protection), and it said negative, so I don t believe it s that. Is it possible the pill is creating these symptoms?
| 256,679 |
Hellothanks for your query.The symptoms described by you are attributable to birth control.They would have been better had you taken the pill sincerely.However, as you are not good with maintaining the schedule, it is better to substitute a different method of birth control.If you fail to have your period within a week, consult a gynec to rule out other reasons such as thyroid hormone disturbance, polycystic ovaries etc.All the best.

Take Ortho Tri Cyclen, misplaced pill pack, pink spotting after intercourse. Have I conceived?

I had a new mirena placed about 2 months ago. I expected periods when I had it replaced until the hormones catch up again. I have had spotting for 2 weeks in a row now, but now it is light pink and smells badly. It is almost just like the pink discharge and smells the same as after having a baby. Is this due to my uterus trying to heal or is it something I should be seen for?
| 256,680 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. Spotting can be a side effect of the mirena. And it may take some time for regularization of the hormonal levels. Intrauterine device can lead to pelvic infection sometimes. So better to get examined once to rule out that possibility. Consult gynecologist once, get examined to find out the cause for foul smelling discharge and take treatment accordingly.Take care.

hi, whats the best contraceptive pill to take? I get greasy skin and hair, i'm prone to weight gain and bloating and my mood swings are out of control. I have had the mirina coil in the past but due to an 'inconclusive' smear I am unable to have one fitted. I also have just had a baby (6mths), since then my periods are very heavy and painful
| 256,681 |
Hellothanks for your query.As you are having skin problems, weight gain, it is better to choose a pill like Yasmin.That contains spironolactone which would counteract these effects.If it is not available in your country, consult a gynecologist for a substitute containing spironolactone pill.All the best.

Im on the Nuva Ring and have been for almost a year now. I get my period every month a few days after i take out my ring. But for the past few months ive been feeling movement in my belly. I don't believe I am pregnant because i do get my period on time every month. I have not taken any pregnancy tests. But i am concerned by the movement. Could I possibly be pregnant even though i am on a steady birth control and get my period?`
| 256,682 |
HELLO HAVE YOU CONSULTED A GYNECOLOGIST BEFORE STARTING NUVA RING. IF NOT THEN PLEASE DO IT BECAUSE IT HAS SOME CONTRAINDICATIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS ALSO. SINCE YOU SAY THAT YOU GET REGULAR MENSES THEN THERE ARE NO CHANCES OF PREGNANCY BUT YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR GYNECOLOGIST ONCE.. ALSO YOU SHOULD SEE A GENERAL PRACTITIONER BECAUSE THE BOWEL MOVEMENTS YOU ARE FEELING MAY BE SOMETHING ELSE.. ULTRASOUND IS REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.. THANK YOU

Periods heavy, painful. Get greasy skin, hair, mood swings, weightgain. Best contraceptive pill?
|
Hi, I have a question. I have been on LoEstrinFE for the past 2 or so years. However, my weight has shifted within the past few years. Currently I am in the process of losing weight and weigh roughly 158... I can't remember how much I weighed when I was first prescribed the medication. All of this to say, when I begin losing weight (and this has happened every time I've lost weight), if I miss a day of the pill, the next day, although I take two pills, I immediately begin bleeding and continue to do so for the rest of the month. I can literally be in the second week of the pack and have my period for 3 weeks when this happens. Should I ask my usual OB-GYN for a different possibly stronger prescription? Or possibly seek out an alternative form of contraceptives.
| 256,683 |
Hi, it is not a common side effect of the drug, but it may be secondary to the some variation of the genital tract, or harmonal system, or anemia. I advise you to consult your gynecologist for follow up, so that you may be checked in that line. I advise you to take green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods, to recover from the latent anemia. Thank you.

I took the next choice emergency contraceptive 6 days ago, 30 hours post intercourse. Most literature says side effects should go away in 1-2 days. I am still having nausea , especially at night 6 days later to the point I can t eat and have lost weight. I have not had any bleeding yet. I am extremely stressed out, could this be part of the problem, is this a sign of pregnancy possibly????
| 256,684 |
Hi,Welcome to HCM,Sometimes side effect of next choice emergency contraceptive can last longer than 1-2 days. Regarding pregnancy, whether you have missed period? If yes, you can do one beta HCG to rule out pregnancy. If not missed period, don't worry, pregnancy won't cause symptoms so early. For symptomatic relief you can take antiemitics in consultation with your doctor.Wish you good health.Regards.

Hi I m 29 years and this is my second pregnancy. The last time I lost my baby after delivering in 37weeks and the Dr said its a placenta previa . Dnt knw what that is all I knw is that I woke up in a pool of blood and I lost my baby after 2days of giving birth so I just wanna knw if I m safe and I also wanna knw what coused it, I dnt wanna loose a child again
| 256,685 |
Hi,Placenta previa means there is position of placenta is near cervix i.e. during labor placenta comes first and then fetus so this pregnancy is always risky and if full term approaches CS is to be done.But it does not mean this time there may be the same situation.Keep up regular follow up with your Obst. and go for regular ultra sound to know the position of placenta and fetus.There are all chances of having normal delivery.Ok and take care.

Hi. I have been taking yasmin 9 months ago..then my dr told me to stop it as I am a smoker and to take cerazette..I started taking it for 8 days..I got a very heavy period (bleeding) in the 8th day..I stopped it and um still having d period for the 7th day which is not my normal. .plzz answer me..can I get back to yasmin immediately? Or to insert a silver loop as d doctor told me?
| 256,686 |
Hi...Thanks for the query..Prolonged bleeding can occur with cerazette tab..But you don't have to worry about that..You can observe for 2 more cycles and if it continues you can switch over to other pills..In the meanwhile you take supportive therapy in the form of iron supplements and lots of fluids..If necessary consult your treating doctor for advice..Take care...

Had miscarriage due to placenta previa. Safe to get pregnant?

Just went off mono-phasic birth control pills after last 14 years. I'm 48. I'm a week out from first period due and feel really achy and sore in lower abdomen, feels very much like menstrual cramps...not sure if i've forgotten what this is like or if it is a short term adjustment in hormones. Periods have always been easy, very little of this except for day or two at onset of cycle. Typical? No?
| 256,687 |
Hi,Thanks for the query. When you are using the pills, you will get withdrawal bleeding and not actual periods. Generally the withdrawal bleeding will be lighter and associated with less pain compared with normal menstrual flow. After stopping the pills, it will take some time for the hormones to get regularize. And also this time you will get normal menstrual period. So the symptoms you are having can be due to that. Symptomatic treatment may decrease these. Take care.

consumed one unwanted 72 on 30th august and another unwanted 72 on 9th September. .after consuming on 9th September , periods occured after 1hr..period cycle was on 14th august. my bf didnt ejacuate sperm on 6th September bit then also I consumed unwanted 72 on 9th September. ..will it cause any serious probemsnin future relating pregnancy since two tablets were consumed within 10 days?
| 256,688 |
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magicThe use of the medications within 10 days of each other will not affect future pregnancy but this is not one of the methods of birth control that is recommended to be used consistently.There are other types of birth control the 2 of you may want to consider such as condoms, the oral contraceptive pill, the injection, contraceptive patches, intrauterine devices.It would be better to use one of these methods consistently to reduce the chance of an unplanned pregnancy.I hope this helps

Hi, I'm writing on behalf of my girlfriend, she's on holiday atm. She's just texted asking if I can help with something. She's on Marvelon (contraceptive pill) and for the past couple days has found a brown discharge. She's in the middle of her course of pills, but forgot to take one of the pills one night, taking it the next morning and continuing as usual. What could be the cause of the discharge?
| 256,689 |
Hello,Brown discharge is mostly due to implantation bleeding. Other reasons are old endometrial tissue, pelvic infection, stress, hormonal imbalance etc. However, she must confirm her pregnancy through home pregnancy test after missed period or around due date.

hi! i have an inquiry regarding oral contraceptives being missed. ive been taking marvelon 28 say for about ten years now. just this week i forgot to take 2 tablets on my third week a sunday and a monday. i manged to remember by tuesday. i then took my monday dose and then the usual tuesday dose. so basically ive only missed out on one which was the sunday pill . im a healthy person. 31 yrs of age. no history of any illness . am i still protected? even if i had a 1-2 day miss out. what do ido next? the packet instructions say continue until the active tablets are finished and then skip the placebo ones. thanks. truly appreciate it
| 256,690 |
Hi, Thanks for the query. According to your description, you totally missed one pill. So now the complete protection cannot be expected. So you have to use some additional contraceptive measure like condoms till you complete this pack.You can continue the remaining tablets.After completion of this pack, you can start next pack as usual. For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum. Take care.

Brown discharge. On marvelon pill. History of forgetting intake of pill followed by intake of 2 pills the next day. Thoughts?

I've had the mirena coil for just over a year. Once a month I get a light period however it is always like a browny mucus. Then one random day I'll have a gush of bright red blood and then it will stop. The pain that comes with it is ridiculous. It hurts to even walk. I've experienced every symptom that of pregnancy which is exhausting. Is it worth taking the coil out or will it subside?
| 256,691 |
Hello and welcome to HCM,Intra-uterine contraceptive devices are associated with some side effects.Pain, menstrual irregularities are most common amongst them.Pain usually subsides within few months of onset of use.Menorrhagia is the commonest menstrual irregularity.However, these symptoms subside within few months.Infection may be associated with the usage of the IUCDs. Infection is characterized by lower abdominal pain, foul smelling discharge, fever, etc.If these symptoms appear, the IUCD should be removed.The symptom that you have mentioned, light menstrual discharge- is totally harmless. There is nothing to worry about it.Secondly, pain which is present even during walking- this symptom can be due to dysmenorrhea.You can take mafenemic acid for this pain.If the pain does not resolve, you need to consult your gynecologist for examination of the IUCD.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal

Im having a rather scanty period where theres hardly any blood but just a lot of brown and i dnt have any pain with it until nightime but the pain is only a little bit in my lower abdomen and its very sharp but the problem is on the birth control pill cerazette have been for the last 8months nearly and i shouldnt b having any periods at all
| 256,692 |
HelloThanks for writing to us.It is not a rule that while on Cerazette you should NOT be having periods at ALL.Cerazette often causes a period that is very scanty and only consists of brownish spotting such as the one you have described.So please do not worry.The period would be accompanied by mild pain also, which is normal.Continue taking Cerazette as has been instructed to you and do not worry.All the best.

HelloThanks for your query.Ideally 48 hours after the first tablet, 2 tablets should be taken and 2 more later.Not 1 as you have described.It takes upto 15 days for bleeding sometimes.If you have taken pills without consulting a doctor , do so IMMEDIATELY.These pills should be taken only after consultation with a gynecologist.The pregnancy should be confirmed and dated by the doctor, and then only pills should be taken in dosage prescribed.follow up visit to confirm completion is also a must.WIthout such steps, risks such as severe bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion etc. exist.All the best.

Just concerned... I recently started Ortho-evra the birth control patch about 3 months ago. Untill today I have had no sign of a period. The past week or so I've had random pains in my reproductive organs i giess you could say. Not cramping but sharp pains. Today I started cramping pretty bad, not as bad as normal when I'm not on bc...usually I throw up constantly. Can't walk, hot and cold flashes and so on. Today just pretty uncomfortable. Tonight I was changing my tampon and it was like a peace of meat. Pink ish and veiny. Not like a typical blood clot. Totally different. What should I do?

Hi, it appears that you have an infection, or anemia, which resulted in such changes. So i advise you to consult a gynecaologist for diagnosis and treatment. Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.

Taken contraceptive pill after sex. Will I get pregnant?
|
I switched birth control 2 months ago and when it was the day to start my cycle i had the brownish light bleeding that turned reddish throughout the day. I bled that day and then that night it stopped. The next day i had some but not much bleeding, very light. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. But since i only had very light bleeding for about 2 days im worried i may be pregnant?

hi..you are on oral contraceptive pills...if you have taken the pills regularly, the chances of conception is very remote, its about 0.1%...usually the periods that occur with pills are only withdrawl bleed and not the regular menstruation.. and the bleeding will be less when compared to normal cycles..so you need not have to worry..good luck..

Hi,The present symptoms of irregular spotting could be either due to an early pregnancy or the hormonal disturbance created by the delayed application of the patch. You can test for pregnancy if it has been more than three weeks after your last cycle through the blood test as urine pregnancy test may not give you any definite conclusions right away. I would ask you to see a gynecologist for an examination as well to correct if it happens to be a hormonal disturbance or further management if it is a pregnancy. Hope this helps.

Brown bleeding after switching birth control. Negative pregnancy test. Worried
|
hi. So I was put on the birth control shot in January and my doctor told me how it works and I will have a funky period or 2 because it has to clean out my wall. Well I have been on a med-light period for almost 2 weeks and my boyfriend is worried. But I think its because I am laying down al the time. It picks up when I get out of bed and start doing things, but as long as I am in bed it almost doesn t flow at all. I don t have Any cramps or pain. Am I right in my thinking?

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The mild bleeding that you had for almost two weeks is a normal finding after a birth control shot. This bleeding the regularizes till the effect of injection is over.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]

On ortho patch. Experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Chances of pregnancy?

im on low egestrel-28 and i missed my 7th pill but took it on monday then took monday and tuesdays on tuesday. my ovulation period started on the 14th and i have all the signs of ovulation and i had white discharge for about 2 days but now it is brown crusty like and it is my last day of ovulation. I had strict instructions on what to do if i missed a pill but didn t follow them like i should have. Could it have made me ovulate by missing those pills? why do i have brown discharge now and light cramps?

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Missing a single pill and taking it as soon as you remember it during the day does not cause an ovulation. The brown discharge is due to withdrawal bleeding due to missing pill.I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal ,[email protected]
