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.
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.
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...
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!
In October I was switched from Azzurette to Kariva, just a generic brand switch. I hated it and decided to go natural and stop the pill all-together around November 13. I got my "withdrawal period" right after. Meanwhile, the last time I had sex with my boyfriend was October 14, and on October 28 I got a very short light period, which I couldn't tell was a result of the generic switch or if it was implantation bleeding.
The progestin only pill caused me terrible migraine headaches and irregular bleeding. I discontinued the pill in February 2011.
In April 2011 I had the sharp pain in my ovary again and began bleeding light pinkish blood a few hours later... This occurred two weeks before my period was due. The pain was accompanied by mild back pain but no nausea. This pain was not nearly as bad as the first time I had had an ovarian cyst rupture, but it did remind me of the same type of thing.
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.
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).
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.
In Aug 2007 I started taking Kariva 28 day and stayed on it until Aug 2009. A few months before this, I began having issues with my cycle. I wasn’t getting my period, I got my period early plus the full week I was supposed to, and then I was spotting several days a month. I then found out I had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and started treatment hoping that would help. I didn't. I went on Portia 28 for 5 months, Junel 1.5 30 tab for 3 months and now I’m on Junel 1/20.
t getting any better. He also has a strong sensitivity to light and is always cowering away from it and covering his eyes. Please guys is there anyone out there who recognizes these symptoms or can offer any advice. I am actually writing this from along side his bed in hospital where they are telling me it's a gastro bug ! (I don't agree).
Hi I'm cue 19 Feb and I get heads his seems like every day and I just started getting heartburn about 2 weeks ago and I can sleep for days if someone would let me.
I'm 11 wks and 5days and I've been having frequent headaches and even migraines. I was in the emergency room because of a migraine, I was bearly coherent. Does anyone else ever get this bad?
There are somewhat serious conditions where viruses and bacteria can cross the barrier and impact the brain causing headaches. This is rare in the first instance and even rarer for HSV2 to be the cause. Hence this will be extremely likely to unrelated to HSV2.
I would still have your follow up IgG testing at 12 weeks to identify whether you do have HSV2, which also remains in doubt.
I will be 16 weeks this Tuesday, and for some reason I am feeling worse then I ever did during my first trimester! I have headaches every day, severe fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. I have an appointment next week but am wondering if anyone else has felt this in their 2nd trimester and what was wrong? Thank you all so much!
