Common Questions and Answers about Dangers of smoking while on the pill

smoking

Avatar f tn t researched it, but I almost remember something about smoking while taking the pill increases your risk of blood clots. (The pill increases your risk of clots some anyway, and the smoking makes it a higher risk...at least, I think that's what I remember.) But it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor.
Avatar f tn I think its both positive and negative. It teaches the kids the dangers of smoking/second hand smoke and the problems it can cause as well as the result od death. As for the negative, the kids with the smoking patents are now worrying about losing their parent(s) due to the day care. Im an ex smoker myself.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me know because the nicotine gets absorbed into your blood stream! Cold turkey is the best and really only way while pregnant! Try sucking on sugar free candies and think of your beautiful baby inside of you<3 good luck!
Avatar m tn m very good about taking the pill on time and I even take the sugar pills which is supposed to be the time when you have your period. I have probably missed a pill or two during the years I've been taking it but again I have never had any problems. I am sexually active and my partner and I sometimes have unprotected sex. I worry that sometimes I may be pregnant because my periods will be light sometimes and heavy with clots other times.
Avatar f tn It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
Avatar f tn I disagree with the comment that we should accept it and not try to educate people about the dangers of smoking while pregnant. There are a lot of really young moms on here and notall do know all the risks with smoking.
Avatar m tn i still think pot is not harmful in small quantities, like one time a week for example just to relax for a while. my question is the following, lately ive been under a lot of stress and throughout my whole life ive suffered from anxiety disorders. I was told once by a psychiatrist that i had a bipolar disorder and prescribed me carbamazepine and 300mg seroquel pills. thats when my parents decided to send me to a free-drug rehab. and it worked i quit every pill....
Avatar f tn I should have simply stated WHAT it was, not pontificated about the legality of it. It was almost like I was regressing to my own smoking of it and the BS I told my mom. (thinking of course that it wasn't BS at all, at the time). Sorry if I was misleading in the innocuousness of it. Best of luck with your daughter!
1913857 tn?1322259956 He says that his second round inside me will get me pregnant even while on the pill. He said this had happened with his other girlfriend who he lived with years ago. The following week I got my period when I took the placebo pills and got my period although lighter then usual. So now end of the second week of the new pack I'm spotting bright red blood. I've bin more tired lately and a little nauseous. Little freaked out we are getting married in August.
Avatar f tn Have any of you lady's gotten pregnant while on the pill if so how far along were you when you found out
Avatar n tn I strongly suspect that technique and the level of skill of the attending technician has more to do with the pain factor than the actual mechanics of the process, itself. Moreover, it's a proven fact that Mammography can reveal many breast abnormalities... many of which can lead to Breast Cancer. I agree with bluebutterfly and zouzi... the benefits of detection far outweigh any discomfort from testing.
Avatar f tn Hi Jada, and welcome to the fourm. You can definately have a cyst while on birth contorl pills. Sometimes the doctor will put you on BCP's to see if it will help keep you from developing cysts, but you can still develope them while taking the pill. I would ask your doctor for a transvaginal ultrasound. It will help the doctors tell what is going on. Please call your doctor tomorrow and see if you can get an appointment. I would suggest calling your gyn for the advice on what to do.
Avatar f tn I was on the pill when I fell pregnant with my current one my little boy will only be 13 months when she is born we found out when I was about 5 weeks
Avatar n tn re most likely laid up, I would like to suggest a website called whyquit.com. While your recovering, you can educate yourself on the dangers of smoking. You are very young and quitting now will be a lot easier than 10 or 20 years from now. To answer your question simply though; YES, one or two cigs a day will hurt you! Good Luck! :) --- 3m 4d 16:55 smoke-free, 1,433 cigs not smoked, $394.
535089 tn?1400673519 The intention for my statement on Suboxone were the questions and CASUALness of the drug. It seems that people have this notion that taking Suboxone is totally safe and effective after stopping opiates...or not stopping opiates. My story is very typical for someone who wasn't under a Doctors care and the Doctors and nurses who were at my side said that I was not the firstthey had seen with these reactions. I don't want others to take this drug lightly.
Avatar m tn Somebody posted a while back about a certain pain pill that metabolized in the pancreas instead of the liver. Doesn't everything we ingest effect the possible outcome of treatment?
Avatar f tn i have been reading up on detoxing and the dangers this could have on my fetus. yesterday i used a small dose of sub, i usually only need a small sliver from my 8mg strip to ward off withdrawls, and today i took about the same amount. i hope to be able to taper down to nothing by only taking the suboxone when i feel the withdrawls coming on. So what i want to know is, i guess how safe this will be for my baby. i would like to be drug and sub free in less than two weeks.
Avatar f tn I am not having sex though is it possible to get pregnant if my boyfriend has a pre-*** in the region of my clitoris? If it is possible are the chances less because I am on the pill? This is something that has been on my mind for a while so an answer would be much appreciated.
Avatar n tn I also doubt studies have been done on the effects of vaping during pregnancy there could easily be unknown dangers to your baby.
Avatar n tn I feel I have kickstarted the weight loss but I do understand that this is a drastic way of losing weight, however I think the dangers of being obese somewhat outway the dangers of taking amphetamines short term to lose weight (as long as you have no other pre-existing conditions). So perhaps it's a good idea to continue to lose weight without the pills and see how you go.
