It is my understanding that upon finishing the pack of 21 Minigynon 30 tablets, that my period would start. I took the last pill on Friday and today (Sunday) I am still periodless and worried. I had forgotten it on a few days but took the pills as soon as i remembered. :( This is my first set of oral contraceptive , could my body just be responding to it strangely?? | 256,802 | Hi Dear,Birth control pills have to be taken in a prescribed and correct manner in order to produce desired results. Missing few pills ( more than 2) during cycle exposes you to the risk of pregnancy even if you have taken them afterwards. Moreover, for maximum efficacy the pill acts best from 2nd cycle. However, you had your last pill on Friday and you can wait for1 week for periods to start. Ali the best | Had implanon contraceptive, pain and swelling around injection. Swelling and Numbness in arm.

Your pregnancy, its intrauterine status along with the period of gestation should be confirmed by a specialist and medication for abortion prescribed accordingly. Otherwise, you have every chance of an incomplete abortion resulting in infections, severe bleeding and future infertility and in the rare instance, you could miss an ectopic pregnancy with severe complications later. So, please see a specialist immediately for further care. Hope this helps. | No periods after finishing Minigyon. Missed few pills. Reason for delayed period? |
Hello,I am currently on the antibiotics augmentin to treat typhoid fever as I am abroad. I am also on the pill rigevidon last night I had intercourse with my partner and did not use extra protection as I had researched that there are two antibiotics that affect the pill. However I am worried as I did another research and saw that other people have become pregnant will on this antibiotics. I have not missed any of the pills but I have had diarrhoea, not very severe but it has been everyday for a week and it usually occurs a long time (6hours) after taking the pill. Should I take the morning after pill would that help? Thank you | 256,804 | hi,augmentin does not cause the interaction with contraceptive pill. so, you can be sure that your contraceptive pill is working well. kindly take probiotics to avoid diarrhea from antibiotic. and take rest to fasten the healing from typhoid, do not exhaust yourself from exercise. wishing you healthy life | What is the procedure to take tablet to avoid pregnancy? |
I take a combined birth control pill- Levlen ED. I missed taking one active pill one night last month however took it the next day around lunchtime as I was away & had to get a new prescription. I took that day's pill as per normal & the last in that packet then skipped the sugar pills & started on the active pills in a new packet as the medication info said to do that to main contraceptive effectiveness. 15 days after the missed pill I started getting some spotting & breakthrough bleeding which has continued for about a week to varying degrees. It's been very minimal but enough to notice & stain underwear. My partner & I don't normally use a condom when having sex & the only time we had been intimate (without a condom) around when I missed the one pill was 5 days prior & 8 days after so I had taken 8 active pills straight after the missed on before having sex again. We have had sex together without using any other protection a few times since as well thoughQuestions- is the BTB & spotting a result of the missed/late pill and/or continuous use of the active pill (skipping sugar pills)??? And could the contraceptive effectiveness of my pill have failed or been compromised due to the missed pill and/or the spotting/BTB? Another words should I be concerned about falling pregnant? My next period is due in 5-6 days so time will tell I guess & I'm praying my pill has covered me!... | 256,805 | Hello and welcome to HCM,The break through bleeding does not indicate pregnancy.In order to confirm or rule out pregnancy, get pregnancy test done.The schedule of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) is as follows:1. The OCP should be taken each day at the same time of the day.2. If you miss the pill once, take the pill immediately as soon as you remember and continue the drug regime as before.3. If you miss the pill for more than one day, discontinue the cycle for that month. Continue the cycle from next month. Use some other method of contraceptive for the left days for the month.4. Follow the instructions mentioned on the pack which differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.5. If you taking antibiotic especially amoxycillin, ampicillin, etc. you need to take some other contraceptive for next 14 days. 6. Break through bleeding is normally seen with OCP use.Get a pregnancy test done for confirming or ruling out pregnancy.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal | Taking Augmentin for typhoid fever.

Forum. Since this is not related to unprotected sex. Pain during urination and blood ( you didn't mention blood is in urine or from vagina) .

I took 2 doses of next choice within 4 weeks of each other, one at the end of November and one at the end of December. I did not get a period until January 17th and it was pretty normal, then my period in February came early and lasted for a week, now it is March and I am late for my period. Is it normal for this medicine to do this to you? | 256,809 | Hello dear,Emergency contraceptive pills like next choice have a high hormonal content.When taken, they cause hormonal imbalance in the body...which can explain the delay in your periods.However, other than pregnancy, delay in periods can also be due to many other causes like hormonal imbalance(as already explained), anovulatory cycles, stress, any infection or pathology in the uterus, ovary, etc.So, if pregnancy test is negative & periods are further delayed, kindly consult a Gynecologist & get a proper clinical examination done.Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms.Wishing you a good health.Take care. | Brown vaginal spotting after putting nexplannon in the arm.

Hi! I ve had a red rash around my naval and the tops of my thighs for about a year. It began as soon as I had a contraceptive implant put in and I assumed it was due to that and hormones. I have since had the implant removed but the marks are still there. I ve been doing some internet research and am convinced the marks are through heat exposure as I feel the cold very much and am always clutching a hot water bottle. What do you think? Emma | 256,811 | Hi Emma, Thanks for using HCM.The red rash for a year may be due to infection (fungal) or hormonal or due to chronic irritation. Is there any other symptom with the rash?

Hello, I am currently on Tri-Sprintec and have been for about eight months now. I was recently abroad for a month and had to change the time I usually take my birth control . However, I was due to start a new pack and wanted to switch back to the old time. I had been taking the pill at 1pm EST. I took my last placebo pill on Monday. I was due to start a new pack on Tuesday, so I started the new pack at 11pm EST, the original time I had been taking my birth control. I have continued to take the pills at the same time everyday, 11pm. However, now I am wondering if the effectiveness was compromised by the change in time? My boyfriend and I had sex on Sunday, and, prior to putting on the condom, he was inside me briefly. If effectiveness was compromised, and it was necessary to use a back-up method, is withdrawal an effective enough back-up method comparable to using a condom? | 256,813 | hello,thank you for using healthcare magic,well if you have missed pill for more than 12 hours it might affect effectiveness of pill.. now continue pill everyday at same time.. use back up method like condom..chances of pregnancy with withdrawl is very high.. condom will be better option then withdrawl..if you dont get your next period take home pregnancy test after week or you can take more confirmatory test like beta hcg level or ultrasound ..hope this helps you..DR.NEHAL.. | Got IUD.

I missed about a week of bc pills and had unprotected sex. I stopped taking my bc 2 weeks ago and took a pregnancy test to be on the safe side and it was neg. For the past few days now I have been having an odorless yellow mucus like discharge, back pain, and what feels like period cramps that come and go. Could I be pregnant? Or would this just be due to my discontinuation of bc pills. | 256,814 | Hi,As you did not use your pills properly in your previous cycle, your cycle was no longer protected and if you had unprotected intercourse during your fertile days, there is every chance that you could have conceived. To know for sure, you should test for pregnancy 3-7 days later if you miss a period with a fresh early morning sample of urine; for better confirmation you may get a blood test along with a trans-vaginal sonogram. The discharge you are experiencing may not be due to pregnancy; yellowish color suggests some infection which needs to be ruled out by a local exam; please see a specialist for further advice.

Thank u. | 256,815 | Hi,Thanks for writing in.It is not safe to take emergency pills each time you have unprotected sex. It can cause cysts in ovary and other hormone related problems. Your periods may also get delayed and irregular due to taking emergency pills.If you are in a relationship, I suggest you take low dose daily pills like mala d. You have to start taking them from the first day of your cycle and continue as per directions.

My significant other and I had intercourse the day after her period. We waited almost three days until she took the next choice one dose pill . One week later she tells me of hunger and fatigue . Within the next two days she tells me of bleeding , at first spotting, then it getting heavier and it s bright red, and her period isn t due for another week. Then, a day later she tells me of not being able to pee. Then one more day she says she hasn t went number two in a few days.she also says that she has weird feelings in her stomach , and that the bleeding she had wasn t like period blood but lighter | 256,817 | Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. As you do sex just one day after her period ended. Chances of pregnancy nil. As bleeding was there , so need not to worry. Constipation and urinary problems are related to each other and in my opinion constipation is the main reason. So take 2 tablets of phenolphathalein ( chewable) and she will be alright. Good luck.

Hi, I've had a mirena coil IUS fitted for the past 2years my periods have stopped since I had it fitted. The last few days I've had lower abdo pain mainly on my left side but also cramping across the whole on my lower abdo which comes and goes, I have also now started bleeding about 2 sanitary towels a day. I would just like an opinion as to whether it is a case of wait till Monday and see my doctor or go to hospital urgently and waste their time?Many thanks | 256,818 | Hi friend,Welcome to Health Care MagicIt is a coil that was eluting hormone – hence no periods before.Now it is over and hence the bleed.The pain could be from Endometritis / Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and so on... You could afford to wait – if the bleeding is not profuse and the pain is tolerable / Over The Counter (OTC) Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) and/or anti-spasmodic can be useful in the meanwhile... You need not worry about ‘wasting their time’ – they are there to help. At least, you will be reassured...Take care Wishing speedy recoveryGod blessGood luck | Taken next choice after having unprotected sex.

I was taking my birth control pills and missed two days then doubled up and then missed another day and doubled up. but I got my period for a few days. Then two weeks later I had sex that started with a condom. However, when the sugar pill week came up, I didn't get my period. Is that because of how many days I missed at the beginning of the month and getting my period then? | 256,819 | Hi,Since you had made up for the missed pills and also had your normal cycle, it is unlikely that this could be the cause of your delayed period now. You should exclude pregnancy by a serum beta-hCG titre for an earlier diagnosis or wait for your period for a few days and do a HPT if you do not get it and see a specialist for further evaluation.

Hi im 36 with a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, for the last 5 years or more i have had regular periods on a 33 day cycle. Up until 4 months ago that is when my periods ceased. Almost 2 weeks ago our condom came of during sex so the following morning i had the e.C.pill but alao started my period the same mornin....does this increase the risk of having an extended period? | 256,820 | Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Contraceptive pills don't interfere with periods( as its extension). This is the P C O S, causing dysfunctional uterine bleeding . Besides you also have scanty menstruation with amennorrhea ( as without bleeding for 4 months). If you are taking treatment of P C O S, well & good.

They are real and when they become unbearable, trying out other methods of contraception is advised.Beside pills, there are other temporary methods of birth control like intrauterine device, injections, implants etc. The best thing t do is to talk with your doctor so that he can evaluate and recommend an alternative method to you.

I had protected sex several months ago in November. I got my Depo shot in December and had a pregnancy test done at that time. Recently I have been having weird symptoms( sore breast , pressure at the of my stomach, real sore around my waist and sometime it feel like something moving around in my stomach). But, I m due for my Depo shot. Also had a urine quality pregnancy test done at a hospital. I do have a history of gallbladder problems too. I don t know what causing these symptoms! | 256,828 | Hello ma'am.Based on the symptoms and history the two most likely causes for your presentation are either: 1. Symptoms directly related to the depo shot causing a change in hormone levels2. A hormonal imbalance due to other causesWhich is why you would have to get your hormone levels checked. You did mention taking a urine test, but have not mentioned the results, so I am assuming these were i conclusive. As you do not have anu symptoms associated with any infections, and assuming you arein your reproductive age group pre-menopause can also be ruled out.So please visit yur doctor for an elaborate evaluation and please do abstain from all forms of sexual contact in the meantime.Hope this helps.Take care. | Take Orthocyclen, taken all pills, nothing left.

You can expect withdrawal bleeding 3-7 days after completion of treatment. The cause of a delayed period could be hormonal; as sudden changes in weight and stress often do. You may wait for your period to begin after completion of treatment and if it does not occur, see a specialist for further support. Hope you find this information useful.

I have just been to my GP as I changed my contraceptive pill two months ago and have been suffering from irregluar bleeding and discharge. The doctor has put me on to Noriday.

Hi,I take ovranette as a contraceptive pill. Earlier in the week (Wednesday) I missed a pill and then took two on the Thursday. However the missed pill and the pill for Thursday was taken late (although it was less than 12 hours from when I normally take it. Today (Sunday) I took my pill late over 12 hours late because I was away and forgot to take it with me. I am in the last week of my pack, would you recommend using an emergency contraceptive pill in the morning? | 256,831 | Hi, Based on the information provided it seem that you are on oral contraceptive pill and keeps on forgetting to take them often. And wanting to know is it necessary for you to take an emergency contraceptive pill in the morning. First of you should not take 2 pills in a day even if you forgot to take it previous night. Now about the emergency contraceptive pill is not needed unless you are around 12-16 day after your cycle and had unprotected sexual intercourse. Advice:- You keep forgetting to take the medication is not a good way to have a contraception, and in turn you are create an imbalance in your hormonal imbalance in the body. I would recommend to start using condoms, or copper -T (intrauterine device which works up to 5 yrs straight with our much care.)ThanksDr.JAY PATEL | Irregular bleeding and discharge after changing contraceptive pill.

Is it okay to have unprotected sex or will i still have a chance of becoming pregnant? | 256,832 | Hello,If you are taking your birth control pills regularly,then there is no problem of conception and so you can go ahead with unprotected sex.It is only at the time of starting your birth control pills for the first time that you are supposed to employ an additional method like condom to avoid pregnancy,for first week.Since you are taking your pills regularly for at least two cycles,there is no chance of pregnancy with unprotected sex.Thanks | Taking ovranette contraceptive, missed it.

Hi, I need to know if YAZ contraceptives are strong enough to delay menstrual period? I delayed my period for a week by continuing to take the pink pills, but the past two my period so very slightly marked twice and then nothing and I want to know if i should consider that period or are the YAZ pills strong enough to prevent it. | 256,836 | hello ,thanks for sharing your concern ,For women who choose the Pill for birth control, Beyaz and YAZ are approved to:Prevent pregnancy - 99% effective when taken as directedTreat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)Beyaz and YAZ are not approved to treat Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), a less serious set of symptoms occurring before your periodTreat moderate acne in women at least 14 years of ageBeyaz is also approved for women who choose the Pill for birth control to:Provide a daily dose of folate supplementation, which is recommended for women in their reproductive years. Folate lowers the risk of having rare neural tube birth defects in a pregnancy occurring during Beyaz use or shortly after stoppingDo not use Beyaz or YAZ if you smoke and are over age 35. Smoking increases your risk of serious side effects from the Pill, which can be life-threatening, including blood clots, stroke or heart attack. This risk increases with age and number of cigarettes smoked.Beyaz and YAZ increase the risk of serious conditions including blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. These can be life-threatening or lead to permanent disability. The risk of blood clots is highest during the first year of use. This increased risk is highest when you first start taking birth control pills and when you restart the same or different birth control pills after not using them for a month or more. Users of drospirenone-containing pills (like Beyaz and YAZ) may have a higher risk of blood clots than users of birth control pills that do not contain drospirenone. Talk to your healthcare provider about your risk of blood clots before deciding which Pill is right for you.hope i have answered your query ...take care | Had sex. Period is late.

Hi, I am not do for a period at all, and haven t actually had one in 5-6 months since my BC pill tends to do that. Im on Loesterin24fe and just started my first pack of Lo Loesterin with no time off in between the 2. Today, out of nowhere, I started feeling period like cramps , and within 5 minutes they were so excruciating I was shaking and sweating, and nothing was helping. I just rocked, squirmed around, and just couldnt stop moving around, I was desperate. I finally had to use the bathroom, so I sat there for about 10 mins, passed stool , and felt a great deal better. I ve never experienced that kind of cramping with a bowel movement following or in relation at all. It felt like period cramps x1000! But I am not bleeding at all. | 256,837 | Hello,Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.It could be one of the side effects of the drug itself.You need to get a transvaginal USG done immediately.Consult your GP for further course of treatment.Hope this helps.regards,Dr Nilofer | YAZ contraceptives.

my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex last wednesday afternoon around 1. that night i went to dinner with my parents at souplantation and took my first pill of my fifth month of tri sprintec at 6pm. At 3am the next morning i woke up feeling nauseous and threw up a few times. I had diarrhea, sweating, and shaking/chills. I thought it had to be food poisoning. The next few days I had been unusually gassy. But for the most part felt fine. Then last night, I ate rice with a lot of sliced garlic in it, and got really bad heartburn. I have acid reflux disease so ive had heartburn before, but never this bad. I couldnt sleep much due to the feeling that i would throw up. I got maybe four or five hours of sleep total. Today I also dont feel that great, but Ive also been thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. Ive been very thirsty, but still have a dry mouth when i drink. I have diarrhea and occasionally constipation. I took a clear blue pregnancy test today and it came up negative however I am worried that it is not accurate because it is too soon. Could I be pregnant, or could I just be over thinking and worrying too much? Or is it possible to still have food poisoning, if thats what it was? | 256,838 | Hi,Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic.

I have been on depo shot for about two years now and have loved it. No problems or complaints at all.. havent had aby problems spotting or cramps or anything. It wasn't until just recently I became sexually active and am now experiencing some lower abdominal pain/cramps, very light but not often spotting like brown, & somewhat more tired.

I've been on the pill for more than a year. I recently changed types, but adjusted quickly with spotting only in the first month of my new prescription. I've never had an irregular period while I've been on the pill, but I noticed spotting two days ago, more than a week before I would have expected my period. The flow is lighter than my usual periods and hasn't increased or decreased over the past few days. I've noticed some clots and mucus-like discharge earlier today. Is this a normal symptom or should I contact my doctor? | 256,840 | helloThanks for your query.It is normal to experience some form of erratic bleeding while on the pill, particularly while switching types .The discharge is not very normal on pills.You could do well to mention this to your healthcare provider, just to be on the safer side, although there is nothing to worry about.take care. | Lower abdominal pain, spotting after being sexually active.

I'm Miss Rivera, I just want to confirm if it's safe to take nordette twice in a week as an emergency contraceptive. I know its a regular birthcontrol pill and it is not an emergency contraceptive and yet is it used by few people in high dose like 4 pills with in 120hours after intercourse but I was just told to take it as a precaution. | 256,841 | Hi thanks for your question.Yes you can take regular contraceptive pills in high doses for emergency contraception (EC)theoretically speaking taking EC twice a week is safe ,but it should not be made as routine as EC causes lot of irregular and heavy bleeding sometime to the dangerous level along with lot of gastric upset and menstrual cycle get disturbed. It should be reserved for emergency use only.Hope this answers your question. | Changed the pill, irregular period, clotting, mucus discharge. Consult doctor? |

So i have been taking Sronyx birth control for the past 5 months. i realized tuesday night i forgot to take my pills sunday, monday. So i took two pills tuesday night. But then i remembered i had sex sunday and monday. What should i do now? Should i take a plan b? Even though i took two last night? Should i continue the pack? Orrr? | 256,843 | hi,since you have had sex on days with missed tablet. your plan depends on the day (in relation to your menstrual cycle, which day?) on which you had sex. if it is in safe period, may be you need not worry much, in case it is in risk period, there is chance that you may be pregnant. so, now future course depends on your wish if you continue with pregnancy, stop tablets, and wait till period ends and test and decide. if you are not interested at any cost, then you can continue with it. feel free to contact me back. wish you good health. | Moody after getting on Mirena.

I had a Mirena IUD inserted last July and at the time was 360lbs 5'10". I cannot take BCP for the fact that I am at high risk for blood clots (legs/feet/ankles swell a lot).

I was on microgynon for many years and then after my last period finished last Friday I started taking cerazette on Saturday (the day I would have started my microgynon again). Two problems, I had sex with my boyfriend Saturday night and the condom split so I had to take the morning after pill on Sunday as I know you aren't protected for the first 7 days of taking this pill so already my body feels a bit mucked up.However, I really want to go back onto microgynon (having only been taking cerazette for 4 days) as I've heard so many bad stories about bleeding for long periods of time and I've got the opportunity to go to Dubai for a week at the end of April and now I'm worried that cerazette will muck up my cycle and I could be bleeding when I go away. Can you please advise what it is the best thing to do? I'm 40 years old. | 256,850 | Hi,As you had intercourse soon after your period, you were still in the safe period and there is no cause to worry; moreover, you have no risk at all as you took the emergency pill. Please remember that the emergency pill contains excess hormone and could cause some amount of breakthrough bleeding and it is likely to disturb your next cycle. In the current situation, it would be advisable not to switch the birth control pill you have already started taking as changing the pill in the middle of a cycle is not going to give you any protection for that cycle and is likely to cause menstrual disturbances. You may take the advice of your consultant for further assistance. Hope this helps. Take care. | Have Mirena IUD inserted. Safe to use? |

For one I only see it when I have been on my feet for a long period of time, and second it s dark in color. Please tell me what I need to do. | 256,853 | hi,thank you for your query.what you are experiencing are the side effects of implanon.it has run out its usage period of 3 yrs.Women using Implanon who have higher circulating estradiol levels and ovarian follicle activity may be at greater risk of such abnormal patterns of bleeding.Women using progestin contraceptives who have abnormal uterine bleeding have elevated levels of endometrial enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases and neutrophil elastase, that prevent epithelial tissue repair.hence the darker blood.the common side effects include periods that may be early or late, shorter or longer, heavier or lighter than normal. You may also have some spotting between periods, especially during the first several months of use.If bleeding is prolonged (more than 8 days) or unusually heavy, contact your doctor.

Hi I recently took the morning after pill after having a condom break during sex. I am also on regular birth control . I am on the sugar pills this week and am supposed to get my period. It usually comes by now. Did Iscrew up my birth control regime? Is my period going to be delayed or come when I m taking the hormone pills again? | 256,855 | hi,thank you for your query.Emergency contraception has the ability to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when normal contraceptive methods fail. Utilizing this method does not interfere with birth control pills. On the other hand, birth control pills are more effective than emergency contraception (when properly used) and there is no additive effect.Taking an emergency contraception medication can cause nausea and vomiting, especially if taken with birth control pills. Other side effects include menstrual changes, potentially causing the next menstrual period to be irregular. The morning after pill can also cause fatigue, a headache and abdominal pain.i would advise you to continue your pill regimen,your periods will come delayed but will come surely.from next time dont mix up the pills.thank you,wishing you good health | Feeling sick after eating.

hi doc, i had my unprotected sex 9 days just after my 1st day of menstruation, i did a research and found out that Nordette will be helpful as ECP. I bought the 21 white pc of this pills and took 4 pills about 26 hrs after i had the contact then took my 2nd dose, another 4pcs of Nordette just exactly as 12 hrs after i took the first dose and about 3 hrs after taking that, i vomitted...will the pills that i took comes out already since i vomitted or my body already absorbed it?how effective it will be? | 256,856 | HI thanks for your question. The drug and dose you took for emergency contraception (EC) is correct and you didn't vomitted after first dose.It was only that you vomitted after second dose and that too after 3 hours.Stomach emptying time is 2 to 3 hours.This means there was no drug in your stomach by the time you vomitted and EC would be effective.

a year and halve ago I had the implanon inserted into my arm. Before that I used contraceptive tablets and my menstrual cycle was normal, but since the implanon I have irregular bleeding or no bleeding at all.

Anyway in your case, I dont think you are pregnant, from what I can tell you were suffering from PMS, that is what made you so emotional and was making you feel weird as well. Which would mean that you bleeding now is because your period has started.Other than this, to be on the safe side I recommend you take a home pregnancy test as soon as possible, it is just a precaution, I doubt you are pregnant. I hope this answered your question. | No period due to birth control. Have brown spotting, fatigue, cold. Reason? |
Hi, I was two days late starting my pack on my last cycle (started on Tuesday instead of Sunday). I doubled up both Tuesday and Wednesday to catch up. The following Tuesday or Monday I had accidentally taken two birth control pills when it wasn't needed. Since I wasn't sexually active, I decided to skip the next day and resume with pill taking that next day to start on track. Ended up having sex after coming home late Friday night. What are my chances or pregnancy if I took the rest of my pills correctly? Thanks! | 256,864 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Well taking two pills to cover a missed day is normal and accepted, but then missing a dose and having unprotected sex, that can easily lead to pregnancy.I recommend you take an emergency pill as soon as you can, there are emergency pills available that work upto 5 days after having unprotected sex. I recommend using ulipristal acetate.I hope this answered your question. | Missed birth control pill dose. Have breast tenderness after sex. Blood in urine. What is going on? |
Hi, My gynecologist prescribed Duphaston for 15 days because I am not tolerating my contraceptive pills since two months ago.

Hello, my name is AAAAAA. I took the depo shot for atleast 4-5 month but stoped taking it about 3 monthsago, and my worry now is if I can get pregnant. I have already taken a pregnancy test, but it came out negative; although I have been feeling really upset for the last couple of days. I have not been able to eat many meals due to my disgust in food by that I mean, every time I imagine food or even smell certain food I feel like vomiting.

Hi Doctor!I had protected sex (with the use of condom) last june 26, 28 and 29..i took nordette 21 last June 27 (4 tables + another 4 after12 hrs), and last July 1, i took again 4tablets and after 12 hrs, another 4 tablets...(meaning I had 16 tablets all in all) i noticed that last July 8 I had this very light brown discharge and the follwing days, there were small droplets of blood (i noticed this every time I wipe using a tissue). I'd like to know if this id what you called "withdrawal bleeding"? I havent bleed fully until now, Im still waiting for my actual period to come. Thank you. Your reply would be much appreciated. | 256,878 | Hi, Nordette is a combined oral contraceptive containing both ethinyl oestradiol and progesterone.The dose that has been taken by you is high also.Progesterone in the OCPs are a common cause of spotting or breakthrough bleeding.It is a common side effect of this drug ,and this is what you are experiencing.There is nothing to worry.Be assured that you will be fine shortly.Withdrawal bleeding is slightly different.It occurs ,when there is sudden withdrawal of oestrogen, which results in lack of support to the endometrial tissue ,and hence sloughing out of the tissues as bleeding.Though you have had enough protection against pregnancy, it may still be better to just rule out pregnancy by doing card test.If its ruled out ,you can just relax from all angles. | Taking Rigevidon.

As you told you are taking coffee in the morning, that may be the cause of your problem. Having tea or coffee in morning with empty stomach increases acidity. In my opinion, there is no need of IUD removal for these symptoms and only avoiding tea/ coffee and spicy food and having cold milk along with some antacids will help you.Hope this information is helpful and informative to you.If you have further queries you can directly reach out to me on the following URL:http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-deepti-goyal/65111 | Taking Levora.

How often do i take the Norethisterone tablets in a day? I know it is 3 times a day but how long should i wait after I have taken one? or do i take the 3 tablets at the same time? Also when should i start the contraceptive pill If i plan on using Norethisterone as i am going on holiday on wednesday and really do not want to be on my period, and my period is over a week late which is annoying as i do not know when to take Norethisterone because usually you take it 2-3 days before your period, but mine is late so therefor i cannot predict when it will arrive, and i want to be able to be protected from getting pregnant in the holiday as i am going with my fiance. | 256,883 | Hi thanks for the query.To get its actual effect, norethisterone tablets should be taken at least 48 hrs prior to due date of menses.So, you may not get the desired effect now if you start bleeding before its effect starts.Still you may try it with a chance of positive thought .It should be taken 3 times daily means morning, afternoon and at bed time and not all the tablets consecutively.For contraceptive effect, any hormonal pill is effective only if it is started on day 1 of cycle. As of now, you should use barrier contraceptive method for protection.

Hello my name is john I am 22 years. Recently I had unprotected sexual intercourse with my girlfriend who is on birth control (Junel Fe Birth Control) and has been taking it for over a year I believe.

Supposedly you cant get pregnant during the week when you are taking the brown pill if you've been taking the pills regularly so far. So there is no need to worry.As for whether or not to take an emergency pill, well you could just take it for the benefit of the doubt, to clear all suspicions away so that you can sleep relaxed.I hope this answered your question. | Taken morning after pill after sex.

hi i stopped taking my pill for medical reasons just because i was bleeding in between my pill microgynon 30 thats was at 9th feb had slight light bleed just b 4 i stopped all pill in that cycle had unprotected sex about two week after and ive still not got my period i feel like im going to come on have all signs but no bleed. could i be pregnant or is it side affect from coming off pill was taking microgynon for 6 months. | 256,886 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. When you stop taking the pill, there is usually a seven days protection period, after those seven days having unprotected sex can get you pregnant. So whether or not you are pregnant right now depends completely on whether or not you were ovulating at the time of the act.So either take an emergency pill that works for more than 24hrs after unprotected sex as soon as possible or just wait and see. You should be able to take a home pregnancy test in around a week from now, that will let you know whether or not you are pregnant. I hope this answered your question. | Taking brown pills of birth control. Had unprotected sex. Concerned |
i was eagerly waiting for my periods coz av been using the depo injection for birth control ,,,i used it last on dec,,and my periods showed up yesterday,,but only yesterday,,and it was more of some black clots....and just lasted a day....im wondering wetha dat means im pregnant,,or do i have a bigger problem,,or is it normal? | 256,887 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. No normally women dont pass blots clots in their periods, it is caused by a number of problems such as fibroids, ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis etc..Each condition is different and has a different treatment, but the first that needs to be done is to confirm the diagnosis, for that you need to have an ultrasound done. From there we can start narrowing down the suspects until we have the diagnosis.So make an appointment and see an obs and gynae doctor as soon as possible.I hope this answered your question. | Stopped taking pill due to bleeding in between.

Can any of the emergency contraception options work if sex was after ovulation? I had sex (with a condom issue) on day 20 of my cycle. My cycle varies between 21-23 days. Do any of the options (next choice or ella) prevent implantation? Or is it so late in my cycle that there is no risk of fertilisation because no viable eggs exist? I am 41. It is now hour 60 after the condom broke. I waited to see if my period would arrive but it hasn t yet. Research seems to doubt whether next choice would work after ovulation, but that Ella might. I can t tell the pro lifer agenda from the anti and wanted medical advice rather than newspaper reports. I don t know whether to take Next Choice today (I have 12 hours left to hit 72) or take Ella in the next day or two if my period doesn t come. Thanks for your help. | 256,888 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Normally, you can only get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during the time when you are ovulating, if ovulation has already occurred that means you cant get pregnant in this cycle, this is what was taught to me by my teachers, so unless I was taught wrong, you should be okay.But taking an emergency pill wont hurt your chances, as such I recommend you take the ella pills, since they work upto 5 days after unprotected sex. I hope this answered your question. | Waiting for periods after using the depo injection, only had some black clots. Is it normal ? |

How likely do you think I could be pregnant? | 256,891 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.If the contraception you are using had expired there is always a chance of getting pregnant, especially if you were ovulating when you had unprotected intercourse. I recommend waiting a couple of more days and then taking a home pregnancy test, another thing you can do is to go to a doctor and ask him to test your blood to check if you are pregnant.I hope this answered your question. | Taking Micronor.

Can the effectiveness of Implanon Nxt Implant be altered after a general anaesthetic? I had Implanon inserted in October last year and had no issues at all ( had my period when it was inserted but hadn t had a period since) and had a general anaesthetic in January. I had intercourse about 2 weeks after the surgery and about 10 days after that I started spotting but no real bleeding . Since then I have been feeling nauseated, experiencing extremely tender breasts, fatigue and weight gain . Am wondering whether the Implanon could have failed as a result of the anaesthetic? | 256,892 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.I really dont think an anesthetic can effect how the implanon works, they are separate things and they both work in different ways. As for why you have your current symptoms, well I am not quite sure why you are feeling the way you are, it could be a result of whatever procedure you had done which required the anesthetic and it could be that it your PMS.Anyhow take a home pregnancy test and that should give you your answer.I hope this answered your question. | My contraception implant expired.

yes, I stated taking gildess birthcontrol for a week but it was making me feel sick, I couldn't eat during the day and at night I couldn't stop eating and my period last month was irregular. My period was due to com between the march 18-20th but it hasn't come yet and I haven't had a period yet this month. last week I thought my period was coming because I saw light pink when I wipe myself after going to bathroom but then it stopped and I was having really back stomach aches with gas. today my blood pressure was 90 over 44 and my pulse was 109. I weight about 110 lbs. I took a pregnancy test on the weekend but it said negative. don't know whats going on with my body. | 256,893 | Hi, Thanks for writing to us. You should consult a gynaecologist because these are the side effects of pills also because pills contain hormone which cause all these symptoms. Take some lemon water for low blood pressure and stop taking pills under medical supervision. Good luck. Take care. | Can the effectiveness of Implanon be altered after the use of an anesthetic?

Hi I have had implanon in since yesterday and I still have the plaster on top as I was told not too remove it for 48 hours, everytime I move my arm it stings and I can t bend my arm because of the pain. Also I can see a blood type colour coming through the plaster which seems to be coming through more and more as time passes but I m not sure if it is blood or if anything could be wrong with it? Also I havnt tried to remove the plaster at all too look under neath it at my arm where the liquid is coming from. | 256,894 | Hi, Thanks for writing to us. You should consult a doctor immediately because bleeding should not be there after implanon placement and you have difficulty in moving arm also. So better get your check-up done, may be you required implanon removal. Good luck. Take care. | Taking gildess birth control. Pinkish spotting, stomach aches and gas.

HiSelf and my husband has unprotected sex on 26th June and I took ipill within 10 hours. My periods were due on 8 July (one day overdue already) and still no sign of unusual bleeding or regular periods. Can periods be delayed post taking ipill because i did took it earlier this year and i did had my periods within 7 days of taking ipill. Please suggest | 256,895 | Hello dear,Emergency contraceptive pills like i-pills are effective when taken within 72 hrs of unprotected intercourse.But they have a high hormonal content.When taken, they cause hormonal imbalance in the body...which can explain the delay in your periods.However, other than pregnancy, delay in periods can also be due to many other causes like hormonal imbalance(as already explained), anovulatory cycles, stress, any infection or pathology in the uterus, ovary, etc.So, if pregnancy test is negative & periods are further delayed, kindly consult a Gynecologist & get a proper clinical examination done.Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms.Wishing you a good health.Take care. | Pain in the arm after implanon placement.

hi i have been on the Microgynon 30 contraceptive pill for about 2 months now and i have been taking it at 11:30 every morning, and stop taking it for 7 days and continue as normal from there, but i haven t had my periods in the break just little bits of brown discharge . have been on injection before i was on pill and i had periods constant for about 5-6 straight. | 256,896 | Hi thanks for the query.Although, the chances of pregnancy are very rare but you should rule out it with the help of serum beta HCG test. Periods are usually shorter and flow decreases with the use of oral contraceptives.Hope this information is helpful and informative to you.If you have further queries you can directly reach out to me on the following URL:http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-deepti-goyal/65111 | Has unprotected sex, took ipill.

Hi,i missed two tablets of my contraceptive pills (wednesday and thursday). today Is friday and I just took the two pills (for thursday and friday..and discarded the missed pill last wednesday). I have 5 pills left (for saturday up to wednesday). The packet says that if I have 7 or less pills left,then I have to start a new pack immediately after the last pill. Like starting a new pack without having a "free-days pill". Is it ok to start a new pack of 21 pills immediately after I finished my last 5 pills on wednesday? | 256,898 | Hi, thanks for the queryAccording to latest guidelines, instructions on your pack are right. If you have missed less than 3 pills in 2/3 week of your pack, you should take one pill as soon as possible( which you have done) and start a new pack immediately after last of this pack without having free days.You are proceeding in a right direction.Hope this information is helpful and informative to you.

Hello, I'm on the depo injection and I've been experiencing sickness, even the smell of food makes me vomit. I've had really bad diarrhea that is just stopping. I've recently read a post on this site about it could be having withdrawal symptoms from not taking the depo but I'm not due for another untill May. I've took a pregnancy test as I've known people to fall pregnant while on the depo but it came back negative, I'm not wondering if I took the test to early and am I pregnant? I still bleed while on the depo, and I had a few spots of blood that lasted round about 3 days last week. Please help. | 256,899 | Hi, thanks for the queryFeeling sick, nausea and vomiting can occur due to progesterone hormone in depo injections. Also,irregular bleeding is one of the major side effects of this injections.In my opinion, you should use symptomatic treatment in form of antiemetics and haemostatics to control vomiting and bleeding respectively.Hope this information is helpful and informative to you.
