Avatar f tn I just need suggestions for birth control pills that are good for people who are extremely sensitive to hormones. I've had the Mirena IUD, which didn't cause me to gain weight, but caused my skin to look awful and other issues. I know every person reacts differently to birth controls, but I'm really starting to feel like there is nothing out there for me. I just don't want to gain weight or get acne.
Avatar n tn Im six days late for my period. Im on the birth control LoEstrin and my boyfriend and I use condoms so I didnt think I was pregnant. I took a test two days ago to be sure and it came out negative. Is there another reason that Im so late? Is it okay to be this late even on birth control? Could I actually be pregnant and the test was just a false negative?
Avatar f tn I actually was on this birth control for the very first time as well before I switched to the generic brand of Lo Lestein Fe. I had the bleeding here and there, but I was still experiencing the cramps which was the main reason I went on birth control in the first place. Maybe when you go to the doctor you should mention switching to the generic kind of this birth control. I hope this helps & good luck to you!
Avatar f tn It was my favorite of all birth controls but be aware that there is no generic version so it can set you back a chunk of change every month. It took away my spotting.
Avatar f tn Did u have irregular bleeding before starting birth control? Any bleeding in between periods?
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 I've been taking Loestrin birth control pills for only a week and I had unprotected sex is there a possibiliy I could become pregnant?
Avatar f tn I don't think it would have any effect on the baby at this stage. Just make sure you stop taking it now. If you are really concerned check with your doctor but I don't think you have anything to worry about being that you are early in your pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Hi! Im 21...on the birth control "Junel" which is generic for Loestrin 24. I had my period September 21..and recently changed to Junel 3 months ago. I did not have a period in October and have taken several pregnancy tests. Then this past week when i was supposed to have my november period, i only had some brown discharge and its not consistent..just at some point everyday. I have not taken a pregnancy test since this has occurred.
Avatar f tn s body is different, however my two sister in laws have the paraguard and it works amazingly for them they each have had it ok for almost 2 years. No birth control seems to be right for me so I have decides no both control here.
Avatar n tn I am wondering what is a good type of birth control to take for acne and that will regulate my period, but won't effect my hormones too much? I have tried mulitple birth control such as ortho-tricyclen and multiple others that I can't remember the names to. They each helped with my acne and to regulate my period significantly but I didn't like taking them.
1095600 tn?1333823007 Yes while I was on birth control pill I was nauses all night insomnia which I never suffered from I was sleeping 2-3 hrs a night horrible which made me moodier than just all the extra hormones them self
Avatar f tn More then likely it's the birth control combined with your period. I don't think you have any reason to worry.
Avatar f tn I started Lo Loestrin Fe oral birth control pill on January 14, 2014 after being off of it since Thanksgiving of 2013. Previously I had constant break-though bleeding (more like a period- for even 2 and a half weeks) and cramps. I switched to Microgestin and that made me so sick I stopped, and then restarted Lo Loestrin Fe. I have taken it everyday and have never missed a pill.
Avatar f tn Which birth control do u guys recommand the best after delivery? ... I was thinking Mirena but still undecided.. P.
Avatar f tn Hi, I recetly experienced very heavy bleeding that lasted for over a month.. Then I went to the ER because it was way too much.. Then, the doctor told me I should consider to start using birth control, because I need more hormones in order to have a regular period( I've always had very regular periods evey 30 days, except this one time).. So which types of birth control are better? Which ones are not as effective? Would it affect me if I want to conceive?
Avatar n tn I had two dermoid cysts/tumors, one on each ovary (the one on left ovary was very large) that had been misdiagnosed for years. Only in the last two years was I in any kind of pain. I had emergency surgery last May to remove the dermoids. I did not have a real period until March. I was put on Loestrin birth control pills to "give my ovaries a rest" and stop functional cysts from occuring. But for six months I was in excruciating pain.
Avatar f tn If Loestrin is a birth control pill (and google says it is) you won't get pregnant. You need to stop taking the pill and find alternate ways to balance your hormones. Maca root is great for this, as is vitex. But once you get that BFP stop taking them both!
Avatar n tn t comfortable prescribing it to me and said that regular birth control pills would work just as well. She gave me a prescription for Loestrin and said I could start and stop taking it any time. However, I forgot to ask her about when the best time to start on them is! See, the reason why I'm not on any hormonal birth control is because they usually make me very bloated and moody.
Avatar f tn Both low-dose and continuous cycle birth control can contribute to spotting. If you tell your doctor your experiences and concerns about weight gain, they may able find one that hits the sweet spot.
