Common Questions and Answers about Kariva and bleeding

Avatar f tn Last Wednesday I got my period, and I began taking Kariva Birth Control. On friday, My boyfriend and I decided to have sex, which was dumb, but we used a condom with spermicide on it and in it. After a little bit, the condom popped and he pulled out immediately without ejaculating at all. Then we were finished. I know that people say that girls can get pregnant on their periods, however, i was only on the 3rd day of my cycle and i highly doubt that i could have ovulated so early...
11728532 tn?1451774466 Hi there, I'm an 18 y/o female and I have taken birth control ( Kariva -- to be specific) since I was 15 to treat PCOS. About a month ago, I had intercourse and afterwards I bled heavily and had cramps for a week. I should not have gotten my period for another two weeks according to my pills. When I took the pills that started my period, It was very light and ended two days early. We used a condom but I'm scared.
Avatar f tn I was orginally on Depo-Provera for 1 1/2 years (never had a period), switched to Seasonale (major nausea), then switched to Tri-Sprintec (my chest got huge on this pill), and then to Kariva (was great!). I was on Kariva for 10 months. I never took the placebo week, so I never had a 'period'. However, if and when I missed a pill or took it a little late, I always had spotting for a day or two.
Avatar f tn Hi- I am a 17 year old girl and I have been on birth control pills for a little over a year and a half now. I was originally prescribed Ortho-Tricyclen Lo but was switched to Kariva in May of this year because it was said to be the "less expensive generic brand" of Tricyclen Lo. I always felt a little more irritable and noticed my skin got a little more sensitive when I originally started taking the pill, but nothing too bad.
Avatar f tn i know all birth controls are different, but they have a lot of similar side effects. i was on yasmin, seasonique, kariva, and now sprintec. the first two that i mentioned: i had my period for about a month. sometimes it just takes a while for your body to adjust. for me it eventually regulated.
Avatar m tn My period would always follow this pattern, two days of intense bleeding, one day of no bleeding, and then one day of moderate bleeding. After I became sexually active in my twenties, I started using the Nuva ring with some success. I found that it did lessen the amount of pain I was in considerably. I even remember having a few periods with no cramping at all. I used nuva ring continuously until August 2011. In August 2011 I sought treatment for an atrocious UTI.
Avatar f tn I’ve had light to moderate spotting the week before my period then a full period the week of placebo pills. I’ve had some days of horrible cramping and bleeding through several tampons AND pads each hour for a couple hours. Last month when I started the new pill, I had spotting the week before my period and then I had my actual period for only 2 ½ days the next week. I thought this was the fix I needed.I was wrong.
Avatar m tn I took plan b (the one pill version) between th 48 and 72 hour mark. It has been 2 weeks since and my period has been a couple days late and very very light (dark brown). I know that the plan b causes disruptions in menstrating and so does missing pills but id like to lnow if im just overly paranoid. I know i took a lot of precautions but is it not actually a lot? Please let me know!
Avatar f tn I realize I probably should not have done this and today I feel bloated and almost nauseous and out of it. Anyway, on my pack it says to continue to take my pills and restart a pack Sunday (I'm a Sunday starter). Is this enough or should I take the 'morning after' pill also.
1063764 tn?1272821064 I started taking thyroid hormone levothyroxine 50mcg (smallest dose) on March 15, almost a two months now. I noticed about 4 weeks after I started taking it that my acne was beginning to flare up. I had it under control for many months by that point, and I'm trying to figure out if the levothyroxine is the cause. My endocrinologist told me that my thyroid function was normal without the medication but I am taking it because I have nodules (the medication slows down their growth.
Avatar f tn All day I had maybe an equivalent to about 5 spots of pink and brown when I wipe and on a liner. Well today I wiped this morning and there was a little dot of pink/maybe red and that's it. I have nothing on my liner to care about. Do you think my body is adjusting to the low dose eventhough I was just on it the end of March (Loestrin 24) and April (Ortho Lo)? I'm confused and don't know if I should POAS.
Avatar f tn ll do a little more research into it and ask my mom, dermatologist, and doctor bout it and see if both docs say its okay for me. Thanks a lot though!
Avatar f tn I do take the medication same time every day without any thing else. I checked and the levoxly is not a generic and I do not take any other drugs (except Kariva at night). I would not know why my hair is falling out or what to ask the doctor to check. I am so worried that I will be the only bald one in my family.
508106 tn?1269959199 I'm a 17 year old female and for about a year now I've had severe problems with my period. I'm sent home every month from school when I pass out, go into a cold sweat and vomit from the pain of period cramps. Today once again it happened and I've been to the doctor several times trying 2 different types of painkillers that stop the bleeding quicker (can't remember the names) and have also been on the pill to no avail.
Avatar f tn Is it possible that the first bleeding was ovulation bleeding and the second implantation bleeding and how likely is it that woman have both? If not what else could it be?
Avatar n tn For the last eight months I have been going through a lot of life changes. I graduated college, searched for a job, moved back in with my parents for four months, started a new & highly stressful job in which i work 60-70 hours per week, and decided to buy a house with my boyfriend of five years. Recently I developed a Strep Infection/Ear Infection which caused the Doctor's to put me on a Z-Pack. This was back in October (Oct. 27th to be exact).
Avatar f tn I just found out I was pregnant and about 5 days after my missed period I started bleeding heavy. I went to the hospital and my hcg level was at 27 and they said it's most likely a miscarriage but it can not be confirmed yet. I don't see the doctor for another 2 days for the results of my next blood hcg level and I want to know if there is a bit of hope that I am still pregnant.
Avatar f tn I am 12w3d pregnant today and the main symptoms I've had are nausea and fatigue. This morning everything was fine up until an hour ago i started to bleed. Its not red its pink and its only when i wipe. I dont have any cramping. My next appt is in 3d. What could be the reason for this? What should i do??
Avatar f tn Once when the bleeding started and today to get an rhogam shot. But, in wondering, how long am I.going to continue bleeding? And is it normal?  I try and think I'm going to be fine, because of the blogs I read, however, this is my first child. And I'm worried. Also, I feel like I've blown up like a balloon already. And I don't think I'm a month yet. It's this normal? Any advice would be amazing!!

Avatar f tn I agree go back in I spent 15 hours in the ER and received a stupid response of "u should have brought what u peed out" but either way they did blood work, ultrasound, and other tests everything came out perfect. It happened again and they told me it was a possible placenta bleed this was a month ago they told me to just go home that they would call. Now I am switching doctors and will have another ultrasound to make sure everything is ok.
Avatar f tn I just had sex for the first time since conceving and I started bleeding.Is the normal? I am really scared!!!!
Avatar f tn Thanks, it seems to last a day or 2...this is the second time its happening. I did go to the hospital and all was okay. I also just spoke with my doctor on the phone and he says it's normal. I see him this week so all i can do is monitor it and pray.
Avatar f tn I am 5 to 6 weeks pregnant and woke up with cramping. I went to the bathroom and I passed almost like a blood clot followed by bright red blood. I have a pad on now send still spotting bright red... be honest has anyone had this happen?
