Avatar f tn The doctor then put me on reclipsen and told me to start the pills the same day of my implanon removal. now i have tried several birth control methods since i cannot for the life of me remember to take a pill daily, but i liked none of the BC methods so i decided to suck it up with the pill.i dont mind getting pregnant again anyways, i was basically on BC to help control period flow.
Avatar f tn So recently I have been put on the reclipsen birth control pill and I'm almost done with my third month, it's been working good and I really like it. However, I am going to the health department to get the rest of my pills for this year and they are taking blood work. I haven't done any drugs in over a month( I've only ever smoked pot no hardcore drugs) but I have drank.
475555 tn?1469304339 t forget that none of these tests is that accurate. Both biopsy and APRI, as well as Fibroscan and all the others, are really just aids. And they are most useful as time studies, comparing one time point with the next (in the same test). When you say Fibroscan of 3.3, do you mean the kPa score of the scan? If so, that's very low.
1738081 tn?1310787790 I took reclipsen for a few years and quit for 2 months and started it again 4 days ago. Is it safe to have un protected sex?

Avatar m tn As Stephen suggest, test your platelet count (you shall get results the next day) and calculate your APRI score: http://www.hepatitisc.uw.edu/page/clinical-calculators/apri 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...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
1475238 tn?1288133496 i've been taking reclipsen birth control. and every since i started my 2nd pack, my breasts have felt like their bruised. not so much the nipples, but just the breasts themselves. i've been on it for 4 months now and the only time i notice when my breasts don't hurt is when i'm actually on my period. why is that? and what can i do to stop my breasts from hurting? they only hurt when i'm not on my period. as soon as i get my period, the pain goes away.
Avatar n tn I have been taking the pill at about the same time everyday and have not missed a pill yet. My boyfriend and I had sex on Sunday night and starting Monday morning I have been having lower abdominal cramping. It felt like "ovulation cramps" and today (thurs) I had a discharge that was like ovulation. I thought being on the pill stopped your body from ovulating?
Avatar n tn I'm taking the birth control reclipsen using the continuous method and I was just wondering what I had to do to get my period to come, do I take the placebo for that back and wait for it?

Avatar m tn it is hcv, not reliable and why waste time and money on something so unreliable when fibroscan is easy, fast and cheap

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.).
Avatar f tn Due to the pain and the depression I suffered while on Ocella I switched to Reclipsen. I still have slight breast tenderness the week before my period, but it's so slight that it doesn't even bother my that much. Some months, I don't even have the pain at all. Speak to your doctor if the pain doesn't subside during the next few cycles. You may need to switch brands.

Avatar n tn 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...
Avatar f tn I switched pills about a year ago now to Reclipsen and now Enskyce because they changed the manufacturer. This has a fairly high does of estrogen because I suffered breakthrough bleeding on every other pill I've taken, but I noticed that once my bleeding stopped, the itching started. Has anyone else had this problem with their birth control? I'm considering talking to my doctor but I just wanted to first see if this could really be causing it.
