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?
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.
I was down to 80k before Tx (S+O). I SVRed at 12 weeks post-EOT, and my platelets were up to 135k at the last blood test. I'm told that they should creep up little by little, but whether they will ever get back to where they should be (200k?) is anyone's guess.
There was no evidence that marijuana smoking accelerates progression to significant liver fibrosis (APRI ≥ 1.5) or cirrhosis (APRI ≥ 2; hazard ratio [HR]: 1.02 [0.93–1.12] and 0.99 [0.88–1.12], respectively). Each 10 additional joints/week smoked slightly increased the risk of progression to a clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis and ESLD combined (HR, 1.13 [1.01–1.28]).
I have also been prescribed proestogen vaginal tablets to take twice a day untill i am 34 weeks i am curentally 23 weeks pregnant.will it help? as i had a cervical stitch in my last pregnancy but i was not given the proestrogen tabs,and i got to 36 weeks.are these tabs safe?

Yes, I was put on Toprol for SVT once, and I too have a low B/P to start with. It made me lightheaded and faint. Right now I am trying Metoporolol succinate ER 25 mg tabs. I cut the dose in half and take it every other day. I am doing this until I have an ablation. It seems to be help with my episodes of SVT. Maybe you can ask your doctor if this is something you can consider.
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...
