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 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.
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.
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.
what I found was all her ratings were below average... and I found another doctor in the next county over..a 40 min drive (same time frame as what we drive now) and all her ratings are beyond above average but my babys father says no....
t see the SNL spoof on the VP debate last nite or the one on the congressional bailout hearings go to SNL NBC website and u will laugh ur butt off....HILARIOUS!We need the comic relief!
I have two good candidates to select from for a cataract surgeon. They both have websites and they seem to list preferences for lens replacement technologies. I was wondering if I should go to both doctors to see what they recommend and then do my selection - or if there was some other good approach for doing a selection? From my research on lens technology it seems like a Tecnis 1-piece lens might be a good choice - but only one of the doctor's websites list Tecnis lenses.
orthotrycyclinn made me have two cycles a month but every pill they gave me did that instead of makeing my periouds lighter it made me have more and heavier ones, plus i lost a lot of weight on birth control i was on kariva, low loesestrin fe, abri, orthottycyclin, and two other ones all of them did the same thing they helped witht he cramps but i had more cycles than i was suppposed to.
t care as long as it is installed the right way. I have always done some research before I bought ours. Some have way better ratings then others. Some are easier to carry around and put in the car. It's really up to what you want.
I have heard that dense breasts are harder to find things in , but I don't think that necessarily means there is anything there. Maybe they are SOOOO dense that they can't see anything, so they would have to assume that there could be something there, therefore the birad 4 category. They are very careful with those ratings, and making sure they don't miss things. You should try to ask your physician or the radiologist to clarify what it means. Good luck!
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.
Have you heard of healthgrades or vitals? They give ratings on doctors. Another thing I'd do is ask your own doctor for who they recommend.
thanks for the advice. I do believe I have a multi layered problem. The vitreous is changing, there is said to be a epiretinal membrane across the macula, along with the aforementioned star burst effect. I worry that this eye will just collapse one day, because of all the visual distress that worsens daily. I've seen a neuroophthalmologist last spring, but that was before the two operations and subsequent visual complications.
