Avatar f tn Hi guys sorry I am new here, So my wife is a virgin and we had non penetrative sex and some sperm was left on her vagina and we got worried that she could get pregnant then she took emergency contraceptive (levonorgestrel) 48 hours after. Then after 2 days we did non penetrative sex again and we got worried about pregnancy and she took emergency contraception again. This is emergency contraceptive twice in a week.
Avatar f tn can i take the mini-pill or the depo-provera injection even if i am taking other medicines such as pristiq, clonazepam, and tenoretic for high blood pressure?
689528 tn?1364135841 Just wondering about the mini pill. Is anyone taking it? I saw Tiffie that you are! How do you know when to start it if you don't get a period? Do you have to take it the same time every day? Do you get a period while on it like you do when you are on the regular pill?
Avatar f tn It's my understanding there is next to no wiggle room with the mini pill, which is why it's extremely vital for you to take it at the exact same time each day. Use back up birth control (such as condoms NOT the pull out method) for at least a week or so while the pill becomes effective again. It's hard to say if you're safe or not, but all things considered (BFing as well as birth control) you likely will be.
Avatar n tn I've been prescribed a course of Rigevidon and when I searched information about this pill, I was alarmed because there is a petition to say this pill should be withdrawn. People as young as 23 have died and had stroke. While I understand that there is always a risk of DVT, depression or stroke when taking contraceptive pills, I was thinking, there are other brand of pills which contains more or less the same hormones ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. So should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn Since this original post we have visited a doctor and my wife has taken the ECP levonorgestrel. She took the first pill ~32hrs after the event and a second pill about 12hrs later as per doctor's instruction. We were unable to visit a doctor prior to this late hour due to the holiday season (Chinese New Year) over here resulting in clinics being closed. Unfortunately ECPs are not available as an over the counter drug at pharmacies.
Avatar m tn Yesterday night (11h ago), the condom that me and my boyfriend were using malfunctioned and he ejaculated inside of me. We went to the farmacy and bought Norlevo morning after pill (1.5mg levonorgestrel). I took it right away (~2h after the intercourse). Today I was googling about the subject and found out that there is another type of pill that has an higher success rate (EllaONe - 30mg ulipristal acetate). Can I still take this one? Will it reduce my chances of getting pregnant? Thank you!
Avatar f tn One pill could work but two would be better. Maybe she was not on her fertile days anyway - cycle days 8 through 16 of 28. She can find out more about that by downloading a period tracking app. If her next period shows up missing, that would be a good time to run a home pregnancy test. Best of luck!

Avatar f tn Im planning on having sex for the first time. Me and my partner agreed to use a condom. Parents are strict, so I can't go on the pill. Im soo so nervous about becoming pregnant. Should I buy Plan B and use a condom too? Please help.
Avatar n tn Or is it simply upregulated, and if so what are the consequences of that? I recently switched for alesse which has levonorgestrel. I read this progestin has the worst effect on cholesterol levels. How significant is this effect? And finally, how significant are nutrient depletions wile using the pill? I saw research done on it decades ago, but don't see much research on the topic concerning lower dose pills.
Avatar f tn 15g of levonorgestrel, which is used in the morning after pill/emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage.
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 m tn Each tablet contains 0.75mg Levonorgestrel. and told me not to worry nothing will happen. but i am afraid please tell me if there is any chances of getting pregnant let me precise the whole thing 1- we were enjoying dry humping. (no intercourse and dry humping with full clothes on) he was on top 2- i am a virgin girl, never had sex before. not even this time, it was just dry humping. 3- my last periods were ended on 4th Feb. they were in between 29 jan to 4 feb.
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 was recommended microgynon 30 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / levonorgestrel 150 mcg. I took the pill on the first day of my period at 10pm That evening I lost the pill pack and as microgynon 30 wasn't available at the GP's office, I was instead put on Gedarel 30/150 which contains ethinylestradiol 30 mcg / desogestrel 150 mcg.

689265 tn?1251130087 i took levonelle. It's one pill. I'm in England. I'm really worried because i've found out this pill is 50% less effective if taken after 12 hours and with it having been my optimum time to conceive on top of that...
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 n tn I had unprotected sex with my GF one week before her period. she took one "plan B" pill (that contains 50 microg of ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg of Levonorgestrel) roughly 24 hours after the intercourse and another 24 hours later 12 hours third one and fourth one 24 hours after that.
Avatar n tn Tony is correct, if you are in fact breastfeeding you should discuss with your OB/GYN a progestin only pill ( a good example would be NORA-BE TABLET) . If not here are some low dose pills to consider.
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 t sure if he had came inside me.
Avatar f tn told me to stop taking it as it can increase the chance of a stroke - so I stopped, came on my period and stopped on the 29th of Novemember - Had an appointment on the 12th of December (earliest I could get) to discuss what my contreceptions options were, got put on the Micronor mini pill as apparently they are okay with migraines. And I started taking it straight away.
Avatar f tn Ok so i just switched from the iud (mirena) to the mini pill. Just curious do you still get a period while taking the pill. I have never taken the pill just other methods.
