there is always a possibility....since uve only been taking them for a week im not sure ur body has enough of the hormones to 'protect' you. from experience though, i was on loestrin for 2 years and i got pregnant...
ive been on loestrin 24 fe for about 2 weeks now i started it on a sunday which happen to be the first day of my period that lasted 7 days to end to start with the breakthough bleeding 2 days later and it has yet to stop any idean how long this is going to last i cant begin to think about bleeding for months stright.
just to share...i never had acne until i started taking birth control. I have taken 2 different kinds of BC and hated them both...Cyclessa and Ortho-tricyclen lo. I'm getting ready to try Loestrin and will let you know how it goes. Have you ever considered seeing a dermatologist instead? I think that is the way to go. I was prescribed a benzoyl peroxide wash and clindamycin phosphate roll-on and it worked great. I was on it for like a year or so and hardly ever break out anymore.
I've not had any problems with Yaz or Loestrin 24. I'm on Loestrin right now because Yaz made me pretty low emotionally. However, I think because they are so low dose pills, they shouldn't cause such a problem.
I've heard bad thinkgs about Seasonal/ique, though. I dunno. I take Loestrin continiously and haven't had an issue, I don't see why you would bother with a pill specifically marketed as "less periods" when you can have them with any.
Everything I read said the pill is very effective if taken correctly and no pills are missed or skipped. I havent skipped any, but since I took 3 extra pills, this is technically not taking the pills "correctly" either. I've been very bloated and have been having terrible back aches since the sex. Could I be pregnant?
Wednesday morning, the 3rd, I woke up and when I went to the bathroom I thought I had started my period. There was a little bit of blood it was red and a little in the toilet so I used a tampon.(Although I wasn't supposed to start until around the 12th) I just got prescribed birth control and my doctor said if you take it on the first day of your period it becomes effective right away so later on that evening I decided to take my first pill.
i want to know if retro-screening very effective for HIV test.
I am waiting out a surgery to see if any hormone therapy will do the trick because I have to pay out of pocket. The doctor wants me to try loestrin 24 for 3 months. My question is, does anyone have experience with both? I hate to second guess my doctor, but I am wondering how a lower dose can do better for me than Yaz? Also, I have been extremely depressed since a month or two after starting Yaz, and I turned down anti-depressants in hopes that a new medication will help with that.
Things like nausea/vomiting usually don't start until 6 to 7 weeks. Discharge is never reliable so I wouldn't worry about that. So, I wouldn't say symptoms are what you should go by. But if you don't get your period, take a test at 2.5 weeks as it does sound like you potentially risked pregnancy hon.
If you have been taking your pills on time everyday, without missing a dose and doubling up constantly, then the pill is effective. Have you experienced breakthrough bleeding before? I notice that the pills low in estrogen can cause that, especially if you miss one.
If it persists and the bleeding becomes heavier and longer, I suggest speaking to the gyno to rule out pregnancy.
how long has it been? not sure but i think plan b can be taken up to 72 hours after sex. amoxicillin can make birth control LESS effective, it doesn't completely cancel it out though. also have you checked to see if you were ovulating the day you had sex? an easy way to figure that out is go to babycenter.com and there is an ovulation calculator. when are you supposed to get your next period? i would just wait it out..
Hey everyone. So this is the story. Last summer, I went on Loestrin Birth Control Pills.I was on it for about three months, then stopped taking it. Since them, I've had bad anxiety/depression. This might sound crazy, but I was wondering if the hormones could have somehow permanently altered my hormones/moods? And if there's anything I can do to reverse it. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
