Avatar f tn I think that there are alot of options open to you besides birth contol pills or taking oral meds....like Brooke said almost all pills have such a risk of clots manifesting themselves especially if you have a family history of blood clots the % goes up for incidence. You may want to look at all other options out there for you besides taking "the pill" and i know there are many of them out there.
6758585 tn?1390314001 Birth control pill containing Drospirenone and ethinylestradiol may be helpful since they have lesser side effects. You may consult your doctor about which method will be most suitable for you. Keep me posted. Best luck and take care!
Avatar f tn I've been taken the Drospirenone for about two years, and before I had the HIV test, I also had taken some skin disease medicine, will these medicine influence the test?
Avatar n tn However, it has made me gain weight and be bloated all the time. This is not okay, so I definitely need to switch again because I cannot afford to buy all new clothes in the next size up. What should I ask my dermatologist for next? Yaz and Desogen have also not worked out for me in the past. I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks!!
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been on treatment for PCOS for a year and a half now with Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol birth control pills. My OB/GYN asked for a blood test in order to see how my hormones are doing. While I am content that my testosterone levels are within normal range (it was very high at the moment of diagnosis and I was suffering from many uncomfortable effects) my prolactin levels are 38.25. I understand that this is high but, is it very high? should I be concerned?
Avatar m tn she took 4 pills from Yasmin pill- (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) exactly after 30 hours from the incident followed by another 4 pills after another 8 hours, does this help?
Avatar f tn In April I went to my family doctor and asked about birth control. My doctor and I decided on a continuous method. Below is a detailed account of the medication and symptoms. *Something also important to mention, is that I had an ultrasound this week. and the report stated, " Small exophytic cyst or paraovarian cyst left ovary. Otherwise, unremarkable ultrasound. When I first started Lessina, I saw immediate results (taken about a week before I was supposed to start my period).
Avatar n tn Infact I had one that matured and dried out. But this one seems to be hard and big and red. Also my lip is swollen in that area. This problem has now lasted for 2 days and seems to worsen and pains! Any suggestion on how I can bring this swelling down and the bump on my lip? Is is not a pimple? Can I buy any over the counter medicne for this problem?
Avatar f tn I used to drink almost a pot of coffee every morning and now I have a few sips and I feel like I am gonna go into compulsions and my heart pounds so fast I can see my chest move and I can't take it. I have seen a neurologist and cardiologist that have ran just about every test nearly possible and they can't figure it out.I feel like I have just learned to live with this and it it horrible.

Avatar f tn There are healthy ways to lose weight and that could be discussed in the specific forum but obtaining a nutrionist is best and Weight Watchers good as well but avoid weight loss products. Most are unhealthy or useless. And products with Nutrasweet should be avoided as well as that can worsen depression (as some studies show). Replace all sugared drinks with flavored seltzer water for starters. That worked for me.
Avatar n tn hi there lovely ladies! ok this may seem a bit of a rant, but I am so frustrated! I an 23 and was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago, i am on the pill, and was simply told by my doctor, exercise more and eat right (which is a bit suss as you'll see below), i can deal with the dieting, i can deal with the random periods and i can deal with the excess hair (my mums italian so it was kinda on the cards already) but i cannot deal with the weight!
Avatar m tn t have to count calories you eliminate the foods that cause the weight gain, the spikes in insulin which causes the weight gain and amazingly you will lose weight.. you will have more energy and it will become easier to exercise and you gain that energy.. I'm down 60 lbs and am loving eating this way.. it has cured a bunch of health problems and it has helped a bunch of people(including my parents) get to where they want to be with their weight.
Avatar f tn ) oh and my sister is pregnant with her fourth and all her pregnancies she always lost weight and not gained! So jus try ur best and eat when u can, good luck!
Avatar f tn hi beverlyhilsa, actually, most of our problem are just because of our bad habits, no one has forced you to eat junks, sugar or other stuff like that but still, you are eating. okay, now if you have really decided to lost weight just say "yes I can do it" and you are half done. people will share their experiences over this forum and I'll do the same. I use beyond weight management tea for my weight loss and found it really good.
Avatar f tn The most important things for weight loss is to calculate BMI and calorie intake requirement. Diet should be planned with more proteins and fibre, less carbohydrates and fat. On an average 2-3 kilos should be lost in a month. You should right and healthy. Never skip a meal. Also a fitness regime needs to be fixed. I would suggest that you visit a nutritionist and fitness expert for further assistance. Best.
Avatar f tn I found out when I was 5 weeks 2 days had it confirmed at 5 weeks 3 days and seen my dr and had an ultrasound at exactly 6 weeks. I have been super sick and have lost 5.5 lbs. I am overweight, pre pregnancy weight of 215 lbs. Now weighing in at 209.5 lbs. Should I be concerned about the weight loss? Or is it ok since I already am overweight?
