Avatar n tn I took the 1st Gedarel 30 pill on the 2nd day of my period (but it was my 2nd birth control pill in that cycle as I had taken micgrogynon the night before as above) . I have taken gedarel 30 regularly since then at 10pm everyday.
Avatar n tn Hi I'm a 24 year old that's been on birth control since the age of 19. I have been researching the cardiovascular effects of birth control and saw that it can raise c-reactive protein levels. How clinically significant is this? I know crp is a measure of inflammation in the body. So is increasing it's level going to actually cause inflammation? Or is it simply upregulated, and if so what are the consequences of that? I recently switched for alesse which has levonorgestrel.
Avatar m tn just take the morning after pill and start on the birth control like a week later as the dose of hormones are high in the morning after pill and may cause alot of side effects if you start birth control pill so soon. hope this helps.
Avatar n tn please guide me on this. what dosage of this birth control pill should i consume so that it acts as a morning after pill (emergency contraceptive).
Avatar n tn I just recently had a baby on Sept 5, I have a prescription for birth control but I am not sure when to start taking them. I think the nurse at the hospital told me to start taking them on the third Sunday after the baby, but I am not sure. Can you help me?
Avatar f tn Plan-B is a very effective contraceptive pill which is used as a back-up or an emergency pill if you are not benefitted by the regular birth control method. This is also effective if you are in doubt whether you have used your regular contraceptives correctly or not. Plan-B or Levonorgestrel is a very widely used oral birth control medication and it comes under the classification of progestine. you can buy from chemist shop or online at Drugsdropship24.
Avatar f tn I have been on levora birth control for four months now and my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex two days in a row and he finished inside of me, we usually don't do that. However, now I'm getting nervous because I hear that levora is a low dose pill and they are easy to get pregnant on.. I usually take it at 8 am sometimes I'm an hour late but usually I always take it at 8. I'm on the third week of my pack so I should be starting my period next week.
Avatar f tn Also, I took a pill after maybe around 14 hours after? I took the Levonorgestrel 3x/day and I am on my 3rd day taking it so I already consumed 9 tabs. Can I still get pregnant? I am so anxious and paranoid because I am still in the university and just about to reach my dreams. I am also too young to conceived and I was raised in a society which pre-marital sex is not honored. I am so shameful about myself to be honest.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex last tuesday night (Aug 30). He pulled out before his release and was sure that none got in my vagina (withdrawal method). I wasn't quite convinced and started taking "Lady" emergency contraceptive pill. It contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiole. It's my first time so I wanna ask if it's okay even if I start taking it even when I'm not on my period yet?
Avatar f tn Also you are only supposed to use plan b 2-3 times per year so if your not pregnant and want to continue to have sex best get on the pill or another reliable form of birth control. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Plan B® One-Step is composed of a progestin-only (levonorgestrel) tablet. Levonorgestrel is well-trusted and has been commonly used in many birth control pills for over 35 years. In a clinical trial, women tolerated Plan B® One-Step well; 14% experienced nausea and 1% experienced vomiting.5 Plan B® One-Step is safe and well-tolerated. Some women may experience mild side effects, similar to those of regular birth control pills.
Avatar f tn This does NOT impact your fertility or future of having a child but it is not good to use emergency contraception frequently. Better to use birth control. And, it is important to use birth control when you've taken plan b because when you ovulate again is hard to predict and it could be thrown off by the hormones--- so you don't want to risk pregnancy with unprotected sex.
Avatar m tn so early monday morning , my boyfriend and i were having sex and our condom broke . i have levonorgestrel at my disposal , but i haven't used it as a regular birth control . we had a similar situation a few months ago , and i used 4 pills of levonorgestrel immediately , & then 4 more in 12 hours following the first dosage , as recommended by a university healthcare website . everything worked out fine , & i felt very mild abdominal pain .
Avatar f tn I have used normal birth control pills for 5 years but when I stopped taking them I felt so much better that I prefer not to use this type of birth control again. Now I have not taken birth control pills for 3 years and I feel more alive, more positive, and I lost a lot of weight, back to how I was before I ever used this pills. During ovulation I always feel so good, thats how I know if when I have my ovulation. Now this plan B reminds me of the effect synthetic hormones have on my body.

Avatar n tn I'm currently on birth control pills (Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) and i'm overweight so i'm planning on taking Hydroxycut Hardcore Next Gen. Will Hydroxycut affect the effectiveness of my bcp?
Avatar f tn Plan B is a high dose of levonorgestrel, which is one of the synthetic progestins available in birth control pills. The "period" you get on the pill is actually bleeding caused by the withdrawal of the hormones during the inactive pill week, and not a true period you would get if you were ovulating normally. Plan B is known to cause menstrual irregularities after taking it, and my guess is that you're having withdrawal bleeding after that dose of hormones. Keep using condoms.
874116 tn?1240368959 My last LMP was the 10th March. I am a regular user of the ovral L birth control pill but was on a break for teh last 3-4 months to give my body a rest. Since then I was used the EC about four times. I used it in February twice in teh same cycle. The name is Ipill with the levonorgestrel hormone. I used it once mid cycle after my period last month and got pregnant. I really want to know if teh hormone can cause any potential harm to the baby.
Avatar f tn I have been on Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol birth control pills for more than 1 year. My last period occured during 10th Sept 2012. I stopped taking the pills from the 5th day of the current period cycle. We had unprotected sex from the 12th day of the current menstrual period cycle. Now just after doing the sex, I have started feeling sore nipples, dizzyness, cramps in lower abdomen, very thirsty and sometimes pain in one side of the body.
2002523 tn?1327612787 Hello, What you had was heavy bleeding and birth control pills is the first line of treatment. This watery discharge can be found and it should become better with usage. 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 m tn I know that I have the money for the plan B morning pill. 12 hours after I ejaculated in her vagina she took the plan B pill. Is the pill still affective or it won't work at all ? Please reply back ASAP.
Avatar f tn Sharma please do your research. Levonorgestrel is a cause of hair loss in women. Every single birth control that contains high androgen index progestins can cause hair loss. Stop telling women Plan B and birth control pills don’t cause hair loss. They do. The more doctors that understand this - the less of a problem women will have as they can make an informed choice. Please do your research. A simple search on any big BCP air IUD containing high androgen index progestins will show you this.
Avatar f tn The difference is that Plan B® contains a larger dose of levonorgestrel than the amount found in a single birth control pill. And, unlike many birth control pills, Plan B® does not contain any estrogen. Hope this helps.
7678269 tn?1397862382 Ughh i fill so dumb I'm 3 weeks post partum and I had unprotect sex as he accedntly cumd in me and I'm not on birth control so I'm freaking out because I can't afford two babies right now and I just wish I could slap my self :( sorry had to let it out some where
Avatar f tn You should be ok if the pill has been working well for you so far. The birth control pills tell your body that your already pregnant so you dont actually get pregnant by using certain hormones. As long as you are pretty accurate by taking the pill the same time each day and you have never had any problems I think you will be fine. But remember even if all has been well up to this point that the pill is only 99 percent effective.
