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.
I do have the insert at home. It said if there were NO lines it was inconclusive, but nothing about a line in the circle and nothing in the oval. The way it reads, for it to be positive, there should be a line in each opening. I will be taking another one tonight, hoping it is more conclusive. thanx!
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...
Read the package instructions to be sure you are using it correctly. Also, look at the package directions to make sure you have been taking it long enough to be active. I like girls to wait one month to be safe but the package insert may say two weeks. Definitely check this.
But once it is onboard, then you are safe from pregnancy with a low failure rate of getting pregnant on the pill (most often because the pill was taken incorrectly). You are NOT protected from std's though.
Hi there. When you say you have read this, do you mean on the package insert? That's a good source of information (the material that came with your packs of pills). The main issue is protection from pregnancy. So, I'd use back up protection such as condoms for the next few weeks if sexually active if you don't follow the package instructions.
is repeated several times in the package insert and also on the package itself. Such instructions are not given for another common steroid, i.e. Loteprednol (Alrex or Lotemax). And it so happens that this patient uses this medication for a week and … well… discontinues therapy prematurely. I whole-heartedly agree, speaking more from experience than from blind faith in any specialist's advice that steroids are not for chronic dry eyes.

Hello,
Just a quick question about vitamins/ supplements. I take my vitamins 1 pill a day with meal because it's what is written on the package. Recently on my last travel, I bought Priorin capsules (50 mg) for hair health- slows shedding- from the free duty. I got confused because it's written " Recommended dose is 2-3 capsules. Take the capsules after meals, with a little liquidl"... does it mean to take it on empty stomach? or right after meal?
t live in USA, and these rapid tests are CE approved (CE marked) and WHO approved (checked their website) and USAID approved, also the manufacturer is FDA approved for some of its other products, i did not do the tests in a clinic, in fact the manager of the legitimate local distributor of the manufacturer is my friend and i got the tests from him, he told me they sell the tests only to legal distributors or clinics, i tested myself exactly according to the instructions 3 times at home, my frien
t think there is any reason to think those side effects have anything to do with pregnancy since it says so right in the package instructions.
usually, you need to wait 2 weeks before the pill takes affect. Did you read the package insert that came with your Rx? Did it say two weeks? You're still in the window to take PlanB. Can you call your doc and get advice?
I have also had my Dr RX the med to be taken just b4 bed to help with the nighttime issues...again check with ur Dr, or instructions on the med itself.
Then you know your test was conclusive.
I would check the directions that doesn't sound right
You can also read the package insert that came with your birth control. They have detailed instructions for what to do when you miss pills, and tell you if you're protected or not for a variety of different pill missing situations.
These are usually easy to obtain at a drug store or major store such as Walmart or Target. Follow the instructions on the package which usually say to begin testing on the eleventh day after the BEGINNING of your menstrual period. In other words. the first day of the cycle is the first day of the period. Count eleven days from then and start the kit. If you are ovulating, you can time intercourse accordingly, if not, get in to see your doctor for some help.
Good luck!
So anyway, I started testing again this month, and noticed on the instructions it says that once the canister has been opened, that the strips must be used within 30 days. Does anyone know why this is? I'm pretty sure I opened my canister of a month ago. Does that mean my results won't be accurate? I'm wondering cause I've yet to see a surge, and I really should.

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.
