ortho-tri-cyclen

Avatar f tn I started a new birth control in December and I noticed that I am getting these red blotches and bumps on my neck and arms. Could this be a side effect of it?
Avatar n tn I'm on CD 88. Took Provera and did not have bleeding or spotting within 10 days after. Did blood work and it showed FSH: 6, LH: 1, TSH: 2.54. I did temping and OPKs and I'm pretty sure I did not ovulate. Before that I was on BCP (0.035 ethinyl estradiol & 0.25 norgestimate) and had very regular periods. What next? Clomid to stimulate ovulation? Clomid followed by estrogen? BCP to reset the cycle?
Avatar f tn I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore. Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight. My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me?
Avatar f tn I'd wait. Sure you could have gotten pregnant but the pills make your period odd the first month. Technically it is supposed to start the week of placebos but mine always started around the first day of the missed pack. You can always test but I'd wait two weeks from the sex to test (as it typically takes two weeks from conception in order to show up on test) and you should get your period between there.

Avatar f tn If you are having recalcitrant acne in women then probably oral contraceptive containing norgestimate 0.25 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.035 mg; spironolactone; prednisone. If you have acne where sweating is an aggravating factor then aluminum chloride solution should be your choice of your treatment. Acne surgery are done for comedone expression; incision and drainage of fluctuant cysts and abscesses; chemical peel; micro-derm-abrasion; intra-lesional triamcinolone 2–4 mg/ml.
Avatar n tn m eighteen and recently got my wisdom teeth taken out so I had to take anti-biotics for a week and the doctor told me if would interfere with my oral contraceptives, Sprintec (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets, 0.250 mg/0.035 mg). I got the antibiotics at the same time as I started my new pack of birth control and took them both for the first week of my cycle, and I used protection until the next week when my antibiotics ran out (because, of course, things happen).
Avatar m tn Yes it's safe.No risk for HIV.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. Fingering is safe. STDs are not acquired or transmitted by hand-genital fingering or other hand-genital contact. If that's your only exposure, there is no risk. A theoretical argument can be made that HPV may occasionally be transmitted in this manner. There are no proved cases, but it may explain the rare cases of genital HPV that are sometimes detected in technical virgins.
Avatar m tn I dont know how long it has been there.. Is this a blood to blood incident or a risk? sorry if this question seems crazy, but I am just learning about it. any advice would be great. and is this a risk if not why?
Avatar n tn I am a man. Is there a risk for having balls sucked with no condom? Also, is there a risk for having the shaft but not the head gently licked? And the anus area lightly licked but not near the hole? I don't know my female partner's status but, assuming she has something, can it be transmitted by any of the above?

Avatar m tn Hi, I was kissing this one lady and our cheeks touched, I had a pimple on my cheek which was open and there was a little red dot on it which was blood but it was not actively bleeding so I am kinda worried that I have put myself at risk if her cheek also had sores and touched against mine. Many thanks to the experts and top answerers for the advice.
Avatar m tn She also started to kiss suck on my scrotum and did that for about 2 mins Is that a serious risk or is it something I should worry about?
Avatar m tn My question is that is there a risk from any vaginal moisture on the scrotum, I did not notice any cuts or sores but the skin is thin.
Avatar m tn Hi, you had ZERO risk for contracting herpes from what you describe.
