Are portia and levora the same

Common Questions and Answers about Are portia and levora the same

levora

Avatar n tn I've been on combination birth control for about 5 months now (first Levora, then switched to Portia 2 months in), and I've had breakthrough periods before. In the past, they were like my regular periods: lighter, but similar general consistency and flow so I would have to wear a pad. Recently, I've noticed that when I wipe, there's been light traces of blood which I thought was just my breakthrough period.
Avatar f tn m getting nervous because I hear that levora is a low dose pill and they are easy to get pregnant on.. I usually take it at 8 am sometimes I'm an hour late but usually I always take it at 8. I'm on the third week of my pack so I should be starting my period next week. I just need some peace of mind because I'm really nervous.
Avatar f tn Within a few days of taking Levora again I noticed that I was much more mentally vulnerable and by the third week on Levora I was completely destroyed emotionally and mentally. This last weekend I had very strong desires to kill myself by stabbing myself repeatedly. I have a great husband who has helped me stay safe and talked me through the difficult times. I am not ready for a hysterectomy/ooverectomy yet. Is there a birth control pill out there with fewer side effects for depression.
Avatar f tn They were also always very heavy and painful, hence why my mother opted to put me on Levora. I loved the Levora because it regulated my periods to 28 days apart like clockwork and also alleviated the heavy flow and cramps. Even when I went off of it for a few months my period remained regular. Well I was forced to get off of it at age 27 after a blood test came back and showed I have Prothrombin Thrombophilia, a genetic disorder that increases my risk of blood clots.
Avatar f tn Hello, If you suffer from dysmenorrhea (painful menses) or irregular menses, yes, the birth control pill can be used to help regulate your menstrual cycle and improve dysmenorrhea. In your case, having had a tubal ligation, the indication would not be for birth control but for the symptoms you describe and that is fine. I'm not sure what you mean by taking four pills. You should take it as you otherwise would: one pill at the same time each day.
Avatar f tn t know if it was the levora or if it was the sinus thing because i remember feeling sort of like this the day we went to pick the levora for the first time. does anyone have any answers for me. because i'm really scared and don't know why i'm always worried and scared over things like constantly thinking of scary movies and wondering if what happens in scary movies will happen to me or developing a mental illness.
Avatar f tn m 27, never have had kids, and i do unfortunately smoke (or have been for about 4-5 years), and have been on levora/portia combo BCP for 4-5 years.
Avatar n tn Hi, I recently started Lamictal too and experienced the same thing. Just very light bleeding but then it stopped after about 4 days. My doctor said it may have been break through bleedign. I have the implanon and havn't had a period in months so it through me for a loop too. But i think it is okay now.
Avatar f tn Hi. I've been on Portia birth control for six months now. I take it on time every day, the most off I've ever been is about an hour and a half. What are the chances of genital rubbing without a condom and without ejaculation causing pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I had asthma since I was five and it is getting worse and worse coz my chest and lungs is feeling really painful whenever I do sports and I no longer can do sports as long as I want now. Every time after I had asthma attack, I will either faint, dehydrated, lack of energy or feeling extremely dizzy which I can't even walk straight. These symptoms will at least last for two hours. Will I get anoxia or other sickness other then asthma?
Avatar m tn But the pain of appendicitis is also located in the same general area, and there are more serious conditions that could cause the pain as well, so waiting for your doctor's verdict is the best course of action. Don't worry too much, though. Unless the pain becomes acute, it's not urgent. If it does, I'd strongly suggest going to the ER.
Avatar f tn Anyways the day after i stopped i kept getting sick feelin and evem threw up twice. same thin happened the next day, same time (at like 7 pm). i have been eating alot and geytin ****/dizzy tandomly. also my periods due tomorrow but ive been spotting for the past 3-4 days lught brown..
Avatar f tn Im on levOra, have been for 5 mOnths. I have horrible allergies so last week I took 1 antibiotic pill to try & stop my symptoms. This was about 5 days ago. Will I get pregnant if I have sex unprotected?
Avatar f tn I'm taking birth control pills since yesterday. My doctor didn't ask me to take a pregnancy test because I was sure I wasn't. But this morning I threw up and I feel nausea. I'm also experiencing dizziness. I'm taking levora. So now idk if I'm pregnant or it's just the first effects of the pills. I talked to my doctor and she said I shouldn't be throwing up.
Avatar f tn Yeah that's the problem where I live everyone has the same names have yet to hear a Peyton around here yet....my sons name is landyn and have heard maybe 2 others....thank you for your help love.
Avatar m tn sir . i would like to know about bloodstream and vein . are they the same ? i try to google it and i didn't get any information from it .
Avatar f tn I called the pharmacy and They told me that the higher my dose the more it would affect my pill. So I'm just so confused because the pill I got is a low side of hormones, its Lo loestrin fe, what birth control do you take??

2074715 tn?1332363727 i went to the doc today and all they did was take a blood test and tell me tha it came back neg and to keep trying. what the hell kinda advice is that. it make me angry. i just dont get this and we are still having intercourse. according to the doc we came up with me having a period on jan 25 til the 30th. then 2 days of spotting on feb 7th. so i guess going from feb 7 now.
Avatar f tn My husband and I had unprotected sex abt 2 weeks before that and my period ended on the same day I started taking the pills. Since then we usually use condoms but a few times haven't. I heard its not uncommon for a woman to miss her period the 1st month on these pills. I've been cramping sorta and have a lot of back pain these last 4 weeks. ( I started on my peach pills Sunday). I've felt super hungry and super tired as well.
Avatar f tn I love you all, you have no idea how you have helped and blessed me. By the way it is day 10 for me ....I am still shaking inside and out, and I hurt like anything....but that is not from Wd......Jerri from around Atlanta....
