I started my period on Monday November 14th and started Apri birth control on Wednesday November 16
I have taken it religiously every night at 8:50pm and havent missed a pill I had unprotected sex several times on Sunday November 27, however he did not come inside me. I was just wondering if my birth control was affective then and if there is any chance I should be worried about a pregnancy?
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?
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!
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...
Two months ago, my doctor changed my birth control pills to Loestrin 24 from just another off brand pill. I didn't have my period last month. I have had a couple days of spotting. This past week though, I have had a lot of brown discharge. It is almost like I have had the end of my period for a week because it is the same kind of discharge like when I end my periods, except I am having so much more.
Sperm can live up to 5 days inside of the body so if you ovulate say on the 9th or 10th of your cycle you could still get pregnant if you had intercourse on the 7th or 8th. It can be hard to know when you do ovulate unless you use and ovulation tracker. That's why it's always best to use condoms or some other birth control every single time you have intercourse if you don't want to have an unplanned pregnancy. The above poster did that so she should be fine.
I have been taking desogen (apri) birth control for over 2 years and have not yet missed my period for over a day. this is the first it has not been consistent. I am sexually active with a steady partner in a monogamous relationship. I am not ready for a child and need to know if I should seek a morning after pill, take my birth control for next month instead of my placebo pills to try to start my period, or what other options I have.
I don't know what happened there. Seems to be a medhelp link stuck in there somehow. have you ever been on birth control?
Sounds normal. Your body is dealing with the changes in stopping birth control, it could take awhile for your period to start and then become regular, just give it time. You can still get pregnant during this time, so be aware of that, I would suggest waiting at least a month before trying to ensure the birth control is completely out of your system before trying to get pregnant but it's your choice.
So at the beginning of last month, my boyfriend and I had sex for the first time when he was on military leave. I haven't had sex prior to that in a couple years. I am 19 years old. We had sex a few times over the course of a week and literally minutes after the first time I had brown mucus-y spotting. It continued through my period. (I am on birth control. Apri to be specific) I didn't get a normal period, just the spotting for that whole week of my period.
Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.
Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.
Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes.
It is possible that you may be pregnant. There is a chance of pregnancy when you have unprotected sex. Also birth control pills are not 100% effective. I know several people who have gotten pregnant on the pill. You chances are even higher when you miss pills or don't take them at the same time everyday. Did you just start your pill in April? If so then you might not have had enough hormones in your body for the pill to be completely effective yet. When was your positive test?
Not that I’m judging you, but the morning after pill is not a form of birth control, your girlfriend needs to get on a daily contraceptive method such as birth control pills, the shot, etc... If she took the morning after pill, there’s a very small chance she could get pregnant. So you don’t have any worries.
Plan B emergency birth control is a single 1.5 mg tablet of Levonorgestrel. I'm not familiar with the regime you have followed. You are now in the two week wait. Run a home pregnancy test on first morning pee when your period tracker says you are due on.
For future reference, pull-out is a poor method of birth control. You should refuse entry without a condom or other method, especially when close to ovulation like that.
