i started use Desogestrel in december at start when my period came was all fine period was gone after 4 days. january 4th started some lil bleeding and spotting and didnt stopped ever since. like 3 weeks ago i went to my doctor she said lets change to Slynd . but i am still spotting sometimes more sometimes less. my question is if i take a 1 week brake and resume taking pills will stop the spotting ?
we had sex about a week after i changed my pill to the desogestrel pill.
hi, i am taking ethinylestradiol/desogestrel richter 0.02 mg/0.15 mg, and i was supposed to start my 7 day pill free yesterday, but i forgot to, instead i started with my next strip of pill yesterday.. what should i suppose to do? should i stop taking the pill for the next 6 days and i will have my period in days or should i continue taking the pill for another 20 days?
Now since 2 weeks I also have mucus in my stool and I get very worried. I also take thyroid medication for Hashimoto and Desogestrel all the time for the Endometriosis. It would be great if anyone could help me. I went by the doctor already though they tell me to just eat healthy, which I do since 7 years now.
I see that some online labs are offering a new cardiovascular disease test called NMR Lipoprotein test. I know my primary care physician does not currently perform this test (at least last time I had a checkup he didn't) and I was wondering what the professional consensus is about this test.
Is it proven? Is it theoretical? Is it debatable? Is it hooey?
Thanks for any responses.
Would Mircette be an option with desogestrel being less angrogenic? Also, any experience with prescribed HALF tab of OC? (ie. instead of Loestrin 1/20.. use 0.5/10 for hormonal imbalance?) Just concerned about initial breakout.
Just some background... I have not used OC previously. I have no family history of breast cancer, no hypertension, non-smoker, and had 2 migraines in the past 5 years.
I am not an expert, and the whole issue of LDLP is still under discussion basically due to the many different methods of measuring it (NMR seems to be the more accepted).
It seams that if you has been treated with post menopause hormone therapy then LDLP can signal risks not determined by normal LDL levels.
However after what I have read, I tend to agree with your position of increasing the Simvastatin, not because avoiding a new med, but because it seems more effective to reduce LDLP.
II am trying to pin-point which of my female hormones is out of whack and causing, or at least contributing, to such terrible weekly Migraine headaches. Anyone know a good BC pill for individuals with severe, chronic Migraine headaches during ovulation AND menstruation?
I am 29 yrs old, average weight, in fair health, have never been pregnant, and started my period at age 11.
or combined oral contraceptive pill which contains two active ingredients, ethinylestradiol and desogestrel. It is used for regularizing the irregular periods.
In your case, since you had 3 abortions, so any adhesion formation causing difficulty in conceiving should also be explored and in this exploratory laparascopy is very helpful.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I looked for medical help, but everything was alright (no haematological issues, not nerve compression according to a spine NMR, no changes in my pennis according to HD dopplers, no sleeping issues since a polysomnography resulted normal too), so they gave me some testosterone inhibitors for a couple of weeks to eliminate any erection. The result was that my penis stayed numb for three moths after finishing the treatment. One month after recovering the sensitivity the problem appeared again.
4, Alkaline Phosphatase 36, NMR Lipoprofile w/lipids 1671, B12 is at 1621. My HDL is normal range 96, my HDL also normal range 84. What can all of this mean?
colloidal silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, starch, stearic acid, talc, titanium dioxide and vitamin E.
YASMIN 21
Each hormone-containing yellow, round, film-coated tablet contains 3.0 mg drospirenone and 0.030 mg ethinyl estradiol. Nonmedicinal ingredients: cornstarch, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, modified starch, polyethylene glycol, povidone, talc, titanium dioxide, and yellow ferric oxide.
What scan you have done? just US? Maybe you can ask a CT or NMR scan to confirm the findings. When are they going to perform your biopsy?
My guess is the chance you have OC is still very low because your age, your US result 4 month ago. I know it is very hard when your are waiting. Try to occupy your time by doing your favorite things, try not jump into the worst conclusion without real hard evidence (biopsy).
I have been placed on the BCP Apri (ethinyl estradiol/desogestrel) for the past 3 months and instructed to take only the active pills/skipping the inactive, this way I will not have a menstrual cycle to aid in alleviating the pain. So far, the pain has subsided, I am no longer experiencing pain at a 10 but more so on a 1.
