The first thing you want to do is find out if your new birth control is causing your symptoms. I feel that since the Sudafed helped with your heaches and they only lasted a week, it was indeed a sinus problem, and they can cause major headaches. So no need to worry anymore about that. It may be that you are fearful that more is wrong with you, and this is feeding your anxiety as well.
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.
t work, so my Gyn re-prescribed Levora 3 weeks ago. 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.
So I took Levora from the age of like 14 through 26 (I went off of it around age 23 and got pregnant shortly after so I didn't get back on it until I stopped breastfeeding). I started getting my period very young (age 9) and I don't recall them being too irregular. Normally they'd be about 28 - 32 days in between periods. So a little irregular but still not too irregular. They were also always very heavy and painful, hence why my mother opted to put me on Levora.
A triphasic pill is a really bad idea for someone who is having problems with spotting AND it is the worst idea for someone to take back to back because that will for sure absolutely cause spotting. Only if you take the pack out of order can you possibly skip your period (and I'm not sure of the order because I was only on it for a short time and it was like 15 years ago) but the issue is that with triphasic your chances of spotting when trying to skip are pretty much 98-99% certain.
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?
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.
What pill are you taking? Is it monophasic with the same level of hormones all month or is it triphasic with different levels of hormones?
Until I know what brand you're taking I can't answer your questions.
My period is apparently supposed to take place while I am on vacation in a couple months. If it were possible I'd try to reschedule however everything is bought and paid for. What would anyone recommend to delay or induce period before then? Any particular BC brands? I am currently not on any pills...
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.
so for the past 6 months i've been on levora, a birth control. the past couple of months i've been having aches on my right side, i'm pretty sure it's my ovary (and no i do not think it's ovulatin, those aches last only a day). these aches are on and off the whole month.i had my withdrawal bleed about 2 and a half weeks ago so i doubt i'm pregnant. i'm very good at taking the pill as well. i've been with my.
I have been unwell for over three years. It started with a severe headache, vertigo, numb leg. I now have a neurogenic bladder. I have had many MRI's, all normal. I have had 5 lp's all abnormal.( increased white cells,lymphocytes, increased protein, increased IGg, and in the first three, oligoclonal bands. MS was ruled out when the oligclonal bands disappeared.
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.
The only way it may work is with monophasic birth control pills but you would've had to start them already months ago. Your next menstrual cycle is already in progress at this time and there is nothing you can do to stop it anymore. Even if you got on the pill tomorrow, based on where you're at in the cycle, it wouldn't have any effect so you'll just have to have your period as scheduled.
i have been on levora for 3 yrs now. about 2 months ago i started having weird symptoms. My boobs randomly will hurt, or sometimes just 1 nipple. I become moody easily, and sometimes sad easily, i've been getting bloated. i've been feeling bloated and today started cramping mildly. last month i didn't have a normal period it was very light (only needed a pantyliner if that), the blood was brown, had no cramps and it lasted 3 days. I took 2 HPT both were negative.
This is a case where you should call your pharmacy and have a discussion. I would personally throw out the pack and start a new one since it seems like things were a bit confusing.
s my period but its been 4 days now and the bleeding is still pretty heavy which is atypical for me and this length of time for a period is atypical also.
I'm concerned, especially since I've never had those specks before my period. I currently don't have health insurance for a month so I need to wait until early October for when my new coverage kicks in.
Any advice? Should I continue with my pills for this next month? Any ideas what this could be?
Patient presented with fulminate demyelinating encephalitis later diagnosed as adult ADEM (acute demyelinating encephalitis) which is a very rare monophasic condition with an unknown autoimmune source; in a coma within 24hrs of initial symptoms. Patient is now fully recovered having responded quickly to plasmapheresis.
I thought the Active pills were going to stop my spotting since Ortho Tri Cyclen is actually strong, but instead its made me have a full blown period!!!
Anyone know what could be going on?
Ortho tri cyclen lo is a triphasic pill, which means that each week is a different dose. The bleeding on the pill is caused by withdrawal from the hormones, so even if you start a new pack with no break, you'll be lowering your dose and will probably bleed. In the future, if you want to be able to skip periods at will, get on on monophasic pill, which has only one dose and therefore allows you to skip periods by starting a new pack.
