Common Questions and Answers about Kariva birth control

Avatar f tn Before I answer you question, I need to clarify something. You wrote that you have been on Karvia for 10months and never took the placebo pills and thus never had a real period except for occasional spotting. May I ask why you did this and did your gynecologist know that you were doing this? The reason why I am concerned is that when you don't have a period at least every 4 months you put yourself at a higher risk for uterine or endometrial cancer.
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...
Avatar f tn Okay, so I am a seventeen year old girl and I recently started the Yasmin Birth Control Pill. My doctor told me to start taking the Yellow pill (hormone pill) on the first day of my period which I found a little confusing as it is meant to stop your period.
Avatar f tn Okay I am wanting to start birth control not for the usual reason. I want to start it to lighten my periods and help my acne clear up. I've already talked to my mom about it and she supports me on it. I just don't know exactly which pill to look into. Anybody have suggestions? I'll of course do more research but I need some ideas. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
1063764 tn?1272821064 ) Which leads me to believe that I have an overproduction of hormones in my system. I am also on the birth control pill Kariva. I was told that they would not interfere with each other, however something is not right and I was just wondering if anyone out there could help me out. I can't get back to the endocrinologist for another 4 months for my next test, so I did not want to stop the medication. Does anyone know how long it stays in your body...
Avatar m tn I am on Kariva birth control. I missed 2 or 3 pills the week that i had sex. We used protection everytime except penetration once for like 30 but he did not ejaculate. 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.
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 m tn s natural rhythm again. If your not planning on becoming pregnant then another form of birth control would be advised by your dr.
Avatar n tn I never miss my birth control, I always take it that day and around the same time as long as I can (I never miss it, I just take it 5 hours later that usual). I also always use a condom when I have sex. The only time I don't use a condom is when I don't have one and my boyfriend always pulls out. Typically it is the second time around in an hr or so that we don't use a condom (if we run out).
Avatar n tn 6 which is above the norm. I also take Kariva as a birth control. What I am worried about is whether I really need to take this thyroid medication. I am not an anti-medicine person, but I certainly don't want to be taking something I don't need to take. Please, advise. Nat.
Avatar m tn Eventually the cyst went away. I stopped using the nuva ring and started taking a progestin only birth control pill at the behest of my gynecologist. In late November 2011, I woke up with terrible lower abdomen pain, which felt like cramping but slightly different. Shortly thereafter began to have intense back pain and nausea which continued for days. My stomach was distended, swollen and painful to the touch. I couldn't walk, eat or perform daily activities.
508106 tn?1269959199 They are so excruciating that I also vomit and pass out every time I have my period. I got on Kariva a birth control when o was 16, I am now 23 and I am on Ocella another BC pill now and could not be any happier. Once in awhile I get a mild cramp but nothing like I used to, it's a complete change and now I am not worried about the dying pain of my period anymore. I have not vomited or passed out since I have been on them. You may need a stronger dose, I did.
2181099 tn?1337874414 Since there is great Birth control methods out there dont make such a drastic change to ur body since ur even questioning urself.
Avatar f tn Hi i have been on birth control almost 6 months now. And i bleed for 2 weeks every period. The first week its just a brown mild red spotting because im still on birth control and then the second week when im on the brown pill is when i actually get the full on effect of my period. Today i got my period again and im still not done with my normal birth control so i decided to skip to the brown pills this week and start a new pack once my brown pills are done.
Avatar f tn Can I get birth control without having an exam? I want birth control to regulate my period. I have never been sexually active but my period can go for 5-9 days not heavy or light flowing. It also has a range of 21-30 days in between periods. I do NOT like to be touched and have never had a successful relationship because of it.
1801864 tn?1318097993 I know that birth control can make you feel pregnant. But do you guys think I should get a pregnancy test? Me and my boyfriend have been having sex almost everyday and his been cumming inside me. and I was taking my birth control on time for a while but my life is getting stressed and I've been taking my birth control when ever I remember I have to take it. My tummy has cramp like feelings and my nipples are tender BUT I know that birth control can make that happen. SO what should I do.
Avatar f tn They asked me if I wanted birth control and I asked if it would interfere with breast feeding. He said I could get an iud which I don't want. Or get on a pill that's just progesterone. My question is..is anyone else on the pill and having or not having a problem with breast feeding?
Avatar f tn Im just curious ... if i was on birth control for about 2 - 2 1/2 years , but now im tryin to get pregnant ... if i was on birth control for a while will it take me time to get pregnant?
7670156 tn?1401987192 re all pregnant and all, but yesterday at my check up my doctor said I should start thinking about what kind of birth control I want after my baby girl is here. I've never been on birth control (and still did very well, baby was planned) what do you ladies suggest worked best for you? I don't want to worry about another baby for a long while at least a few years. And that implant that goes in your arm scares me.
Avatar f tn Hey what kind of birth control are you considering after birth??? Has anyone ever been on the depo shot? How did your body react? My friend has done the depo shot two different times and each time she has gained alot of weight with it, anyone else experience weight gain? I would like to do the depo shot bc I know I cant remember to always take the pill but I already have a hard time losing weight any advice???

6954086 tn?1398695955 Once you have your baby in the hospital can you ask the doctors to get you on birth control or Aleast get it started my mom is really aggy she talking about me getting my tubes tied which I don't wanna do I want the iud is it possible the doc can set me up on birth control or do I have to go somewhere else to do that
7019649 tn?1396792517 I was on the patch, ortho evra, it worked good I guess, I didn't end up pregnant again until I quit using it, I believe I gained weight on it though, its one of the side effects but I seem to be prone to gaining weight every time I'm on birth control.
