Avatar n tn I have been taking Doxycycline for over 2 years. I am also on birth control Minastrin 24 Fe. Since I have taken the antibiotic for two years due to having Hidrentis Suppurtiva, will my birth control be as effective as it says it will be? Or will it be less effective? Should I stop taking my Doxycycline because I haven't had a flare up in over a year?
Avatar n tn if I am taking the bith control pill tri springtec does the prescription doxycycline inter act with it.
720228 tn?1530911279 I did not know at the time that this anti-biotic can interfere with your birth control. I had unprotected sex with my husband during this time. Now still using that patch, when I went to change the patch to the next one I guess I did not stick it good enough because it came off and then a day later my period began. Is there any chance that I could have gotten pregnant. I know that I have my period now but I am unsure of what happens when doxycline interfers with yoru birth control.
Avatar m tn I've been on birth control(nexpanon) for about a year and a half now and since then I've had brown discharge only no periods my gynecologist told me it was because of the lining of my uterus shedding. this year in late Feb. or early Mar. i was prescribed to take doxycycline it stopped my brown discharge until about a week ago the brown discharge has returned. the last time i had unprotected sex was about a month ago so I'm concerned i might be pregnant.
Avatar f tn s normal or not and until I get retested I just want to know if my partner is at risk for gonorrhea. (was also taking strovite and birth control while on doxycycline, don't know if that could've made the doxycycline not work) please help.

Avatar m tn Yes, it could be the pills causing a delayed period. They can work once but if you had unprotected sex again after using them then she could be pregnant. It can take some women awhile to get a positive pregnancy test result. Can she get in to see a Dr to have a blood test done? This would show if she were pregnant or not. Also, are there any clinics where you live? You said you're sure you used condoms but you also said there was a condom failure.
Avatar f tn I have horrible acne and was prescribed doxycycline. I take orthrotricyclen, does anyone know if they interfere?
Avatar f tn Which means I have pcos The gynecologist has put me on birth control pills for three months to see if the pain gets better Could that be reason for the pain .
Avatar f tn i was given doxycycline and more metronidazole and finished these about three weeks ago. the tests results for stds and candida all came back negative, but the sympoms are still present. i am going back to the gum the next time i can get away from work, but no one has been able to tell me what kind of infection this is or what kind of treatment will work. i would think it was only bv but the doctor said that it was an infection of some kind.
Avatar f tn I'm taking doxycycline to help with my acne and I also know that birth control can help too. If I take these at the same time will it be dangerous?
Avatar m tn my mom is over weight and that happens to her i took birth control and that happens to me plus i pop everything i can in my body does it always happen when its going to storm?
Avatar f tn I am on birth control pills (never really had a problem with them) and for the past few weeks I have been on 2 different antibiotics (Augmentin 875mg) and (Doxycycline 100mg) I am also supposedly positive for Lymes Disease. I had unproteced sex with my boyfriend at like around 1:30 or 2 am and during and after I had bleeding until about early afternoon the same day (today) I feel like I have cramps.
Avatar f tn I have heard about the patch and the IUD and wanted to know all about them or any other really effective birth control. I don't want anything that will increase my acne, weight, or flow. I have bad acne and flow as it is.
360318 tn?1340393363 So my question is should I get on birth control? How will this effect the way I act and the way I feel? I have heard bad stories about the pill, and that it makes you really cranky, and I am already cranky once I ovulate, and I am worried my boyfriend will leave me if I am more cranky, because he has threatened to leave a few times when I had ovulated and had been cranky.
Avatar f tn I would never recommend the depo shot. I was on it for a year and ever since ive had bad headaches and problems with my bones aching. It ***** the calcium out of your bones and I was always small (110-115 pounds) before I started it and it made me gain weight I was never able to keep off and stayed around 140 when before I could never even make myself gain weight. It totally messed up my body and periods and I bled for 2-3 weeks everytime I had to get the next shot.
Avatar f tn I've never used birth control because I don't want my hormones messed up, and I've heard it making people bleed heavier and longer so I never wanted to do that. But now I'm about to have my second child, and I don't want anymore. Tubal is out of the question because the Dr won't do it at 23 yrs old. Sooooo I need some birth control options that are safe and lasts a while. Any good ones?
7670156 tn?1401987192 Hi ladies, I know we're all pregnant and all, but yesterday at my check up my doctor said I should start thinking about what kind of birth control I want after my baby girl is here. I've never been on birth control (and still did very well, baby was planned) what do you ladies suggest worked best for you? I don't want to worry about another baby for a long while at least a few years. And that implant that goes in your arm scares me.
Avatar f tn I just stuck with the pill because I could remember to take it at the same time every day reguardless if what works best for you remember, no birth control is %100 effective. I got pregnant with my son on 5 years of religious birth control. And my friends mom got pregnant with an iud. Birth control and protected sex is always your best bet!
Avatar f tn The only birth control ive ever taken was the pill and it made me sick alot. Honestly the right birth control depends on the person. For example if they can go get the show every three months or if they are good with taking a pill every day. Its all aboit what you are comfortable with.
Avatar f tn If your still on the birth control still and you believe it's made this worse talk to your doctor about coming off the birth control and see whether there's any other birth control that will be better suited
Avatar f tn i was on the pill, shot and patch and i ended up pregnant all three times, posible u could be if u dont get ur period or its close to get ur peroid if u are worried i would get a test and check and if so check a couple more times i sure did 5 each time and then went to the doc and took a test there to and then i was.
Avatar f tn My friend told me it only took a few days and I believed her because she is on birth control also. The papers that came with them didn't tell me how long. Right after I had sex, I started getting headache's everyday. Is that a sign of pregnancy or is it just the pills causing them? And is how long for sure does it take to get in your system?
Avatar f tn Yeah thats what I wanted I know someone that has a birth control and its inserted in to her arm have any idea what that is about? How far along are you ?
Avatar n tn I had it and hated it. I had it in January 2012 and bled from the time I got it till March. and I don't mean spotting. It made me extremely anemic and I lost tons of weight. I looked unhealthy and sick. After I finally stopped bleeding in March I didn't bleed again ever till August then I bled till October. I finally forced my Obgyn to take it out because I couldn't eat and I was so sick from loosing blood.constantly. I wouldn't recommended it but some people do good.
Avatar f tn I've heard bad things about long term birth control so it's not something I'd use but that's my personal opinion
