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 I am breakthrough bleeding during week 2 of birth control pills. Should I stop this pack and if yes, when do I start the new pack?
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced breakthrough bleeding at 8 weeks and then stayed pregnant?
Avatar f tn Breakthrough bleeding also depended on other factors like dose, potency, and activity of the particular progestin in the combined OC as well as the ratio of the estrogen and progestin in the formulation and other factors like missed pills and smoking. So this bleeding that you are having is breakthrough bleeding, but it is important to find out whether it is due to switching the contraceptive pills or due to pregnancy.
Avatar f tn For the first 3 months I had thrush exactly a week before I was due on every month as well as breakthrough bleeding. That went by the 4th month but the breakthrough bleeding still happened. It started slowly going so I thought finally I was getting somewhere but its suddenly increased again. The doctors are now putting me on a new pill called Gedarel which contains 30 mg ethinylestradiol and 150mg desogestrel.
Avatar n tn s something call breakthrough bleeding, that usually happens in the 1st trimester. Got an u/s and my baby/me is okay. But still see your Dr to be safe, and get that security.
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 f tn I have been on lo loestrin fe for the past 4 months. This past month I had breakthrough bleeding. I've been told that breakthrough bleeding means that I am not protected anymore, but does that mean that my pills were not working for the entire month prior to breakthrough or just the time after that? Could I have gotten pregnant before breakthrough even if I had taken pills regularly? Thanks so much!
Avatar m tn m a 21 year old who just stopped the pill after 5 years of being on it consistently. 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.
Avatar n tn At 4 weeks it's possible it's breakthrough bleeding from your period. I bled for a few days at exactly 4 weeks with both of my pregnancies because of breakthrough bleeding, but it was fine. The only time spotting turned out to mean I had a problem was when I spotted at 11 weeks.
5211509 tn?1365183005 I assume that I am done with my period and am now just going through breakthrough bleeding. I am 17 years old. How long will breakthrough bleeding go on? Should I take anything to counteract becoming anemic? Is there a way to stop BTB? I'm weary of not being able to be intimate with my boyfriend of almost 2 years. And the constant bleeding and cramping is just annoying anyway.
Avatar f tn I’ve taken 4 pills since the mishap and yesterday started experiencing breakthrough bleeding and agonising cramps!! Is this a ‘period’? Should I continue with the rest of the packet and have my 7 day break at the end like normal? I had sex on the Tues+Thurs after the missed pills, what are the chances I could fall pregnant from that? Thanks!
Avatar m tn Could someone infected by HIV experience breakthrough vaginal bleeding while on the pill? This is in combination to slight chest pains, nausea and weight loss. These symptoms occurred about nine months after possible exposure to the virus.
Avatar n tn It is common to have irregular vaginal bleeding or breakthrough bleeding while on Levlen between your periods. Irregular vaginal bleeding may stop after your body has adjusted to LEVLEN which may be after about 3 cycles.Brevicon can also cause breakthrough bleeding. Illness, medication, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress or rapid variations in weight, disorders affecting the thyroid gland all can lead to irregular menstrual cycles. Take a balanced diet and a healthy meal.
Avatar f tn I was taken off ultra low dose birth control pills because of breakthrough bleeding, which i hear is a common side effect, and tomorrow I start the Generic version of Seasonique. I am going to New Mexico in August for a job interview , and don't want any breakthrough bleeding during that time, because heat, and bleeding and job interviews, don't work well together....
Avatar n tn Breakthrough bleeding is one of the top most common side effects of being on the pill. And also being on the pill will change the appearance, timing, and length of your period. Nothing in your post is any cause for concern. But if the breakthrough bleeding continues then you may have to switch to a different pill. Which is also not a big deal and a common thing to happen.
Avatar m tn Hi! I just started Minastrin about three weeks ago. I was off of birth control for several months and the doctor at the women's clinic I visited suggested this birth control. Since it has been so long, I did miss a pill in the second week, but as soon as I noticed I took it. I don't know if that's the cause of bleeding, but for the last five days I've had some significant "breakthrough" bleeding.
Avatar f tn I am experiencing breakthrough bleeding on ortho tri cyclen, between days 11 and 14 in my BC pack. The doctor syas it happens and it is only annoying but I really would like to not have to endure three or four days of breakthrough bleeding or spotting every month. It is messy and not very pleasant during inter course. What other pill combination would lessen this? I am open to a type and dose that will stop this.
Avatar f tn I liked it better then Loestrin, since while on Loestrin I had breakthrough bleeding every single day. (So annoying.) But even with Femcon, I had breakthrough during the third week, but I was reading that a lot of women get breakthrough bleeding during the first couple of months.
Avatar n tn Hey ladies, Yesterday I experience some vaginal bleeding that wasn't heavy, but lasted for a split second. Now it's like when I wipe I see a spot, but nothing heavy. I'm about 11 weeks and some days if going from my last cycle. I'm schedule to see my doctor this morning. People are telling me that it's something called a "breakthrough" I'm scared because this is my second pregnancy ever. This will be my second child,after 13 years.
Avatar n tn if your on the pill for two weeks than stop, how much will that mess up your hormones? if you have breakthrough bleeding or withdrawl bleeding when would you become fertile again?
Avatar n tn I am having breakthrough bleeding, spotting that has been lasting almost 2 months now. This has never happened to me before. I am thinking maybe it is because this brand I just got is generic Seasonique (Jolessa). Should I try to get brand name or should I double up on the dosage so I have the hormones in my system?
Avatar n tn I started experiencing breakthrough bleeding this week. I am long distance from my boyfriend and am going to be with him starting on Tuesday next week. I was told if I take a 3 day break from my birth control and start a new pack then that could help my breakthrough bleeding stop. Is this true? I know that I would be unprotected for 7 days but that is fine if the bleeding stops.
Avatar f tn On 10th may 2016 she experienced bleeding which was lighter in flow and darker in color than usual period bleeding. Was this an implantation bleeding or break through bleeding? Could she be pregnant if so what are the % chances ? When should she do a urine pregnancy test.
Avatar m tn It sounds like breakthrough bleeding which is the most common side effect of being on the pill. Sooner or later it happens to everyone on the pill. It's not dangerous or anything it's just very annoying. If it keeps happening for more than a few months you may need to see your gyne to get put on a higher dose pill because it's the lower dose pills that cause the most problems with breakthrough bleeding.
