ve tried Ortho Cyclen, Necon 1/35 (Ortho-Novum), Apri (Desogen), and now Zovia (Demulen). Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone who has tried taking continuous BC to stop their period have any insights on how long it took? I'm starting to go a little crazy and wondering if it's ever going to go away...
As Stephen suggest, test your platelet count (you shall get results the next day) and calculate your APRI score:

If platelet count (APRI) is normal then you should repeat Fibroscan...but if platelet count is very low (APRI high) then I would go straight for biopsy...
OK. So I was on Apri for a year when I was with my bf. My last period on Apri was July 18, 2008. After that period, I took about 4 of the pills before I decided to go off the pill for a few months, since my bf and I broke up months ago and I don't like taking medicine/hormones I don't need. Naturally, my period started again a few days after I stopped taking the pill, so maybe the beginning of August. Last week, I made a really stupid, stupid mistake and slept with my ex w/o protection.
This is my first month ever being on birth control and i'm on the 28-day pack pills called Apri. i started taking the last week the "reminder pills" 3 days ago and the way i understood it is that i'm supposed to get my period on the first day i took the reminder pills...could i be pregnant or is there something else wrong?

In addition, APRI scores decreased significantly in the SVR group than those in non-SVR group during and after antiviral therapy. As APRI is a simple and valid serum fibrosis marker,20,28 rapid reduction of APRI score may reflect a remarkably dynamic process related to improvement of liver fibrosis and inflammation during antiviral therapy. According to the multivariable analysis, APRI was the independent variable associated with the change of serum TC level after antiviral therapy.
0.5 and 1.5. That is, an APRI score of less than 0.5 means no or very slight fibrosis, and an APRI score of more than 1.5 means cirrhosis. The intermediate scores approximate the intermediate fibrosis stages.
I have now calculated my APRI score for the seven blood tests done between 2006 and now, and the graph of the scores shows a steady progression from early to later stage fibrosis, which is apparently what has happened. That is, I'm a fast progressor (65 years old, geno 1b, etc.).

I had some really odd symptoms with Yasmin and begged my dr to take me off of it, since then I was on Apri, which is just generic desogen. Initally did much better on this one so I'm not sure how yaz/yasmin works but I can say my withdrawal bleed "period" got way longer on it- I used to only bleed for 4 days on Aleese, then gradually this increased and due to weight gain and water retention switched to Yasmin...
Assessing someone's true liver fibrosis status, via non-invasive markers, has been pursued for quite sometime with varied success. You have used the best known method, earlier on with the liver biopsy, but that is considered way too invasive for many or even most doctors. Fibrosure or Fibrotest (FT) is one of the better non-invasive methods, but it is still too "fuzzy" to be completely relied up on. It's Positive Predictive Value (PPV) is somewhat low (between 0.5 to 0.
Hi, I was on the pill Apri for a little over a yr. Had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for endo, a polyp and a cyst. After that I wanted to try for a baby. Anyways, I stopped my birth control the same day I had my surgery and I've never had a problem. I'm not sure about everyone but that was what happened to me. Everything was fine. I had surgery on June 25th, 2010 and so it's been almost 3 weeks. I hope this helps. Good luck, take care!
Yesterday afternoon I went to doctor appointment to get sex of the baby and I am ftm. My fiance and i are thrilled we are having baby boy! The doctor said baby will be due in April 1st but between March 26th to April 1st..we never know if he decided to come out early or stay in my tummy late. Congrats to all of you whose give birth this year and looking forward arrival of newborn in 2015!
I'm 25 yrs old, and was on the Apri bcp for exactly "A WEEK," when I notice that my scalp felt like it was burning and it was itching badly. I went to check my head if it was lice or so, and found out that I had a dime size bald spot. I immediately stopped taking the bcp. It's been exactly one month now that I've been bcp-free and still notice that I am shedding tremendously, hair thinning, and found 3 more bald spots.
