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 Tomorrow will be the start of my two green pills, then on friday I will begin to take my blue pills (inactive pills). Would you suggest that I take another test just to be sure? Or will I be alright?
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 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. I've been constipated, had thicker vaginal discharge, and pain in the left and right sides of my abdomen. Why did I bleed? Why am I having weird symptoms now? Could I be pregnant? Am I just freaking myself out? If any one could answer these questions it would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn Anyway, I have now almost finished my first sheet and I am up to the White suger pills which bring on your period, but the thing is I have now had my period for over two weeks (the whole time I have been taking the pill) and I am worried as to why? I had sex a week before I went on the pill but I don't think I'm pregnant? I need so advice please.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn ve been on Mircette (a.k.a Kariva). Before I started Mircette I stopped my pills about 3 days before I was supposed to right before I was to start my cycle. Anyway, long story short, with this pill all I've had are bad gas and gas pains, some cramping but other than that I don't feel like I'm on bcp. Well yesterday I was supposed to have my period but when I thought it was here, I had mucus like cm and then some pinkish brownish discharge with it.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn It really depends if u need insulin or pills, if you cant control your blood sugar then you take pills if your blood sugar is not high. But if normally your fasting numbers are high then thats why they put you on insulin. I have a coworker that went straight to insulin and shes a diabetic now but her numbers were crazy high like in the 500 when she did the glucose test. The doc just prob know that pills wont help you.
Avatar m tn But if you take them as directed at the same time every day then oral birth control is around 99% effective. The last week of pills that are typically a different color are just sugar pills and you don't have to take them.
1063764 tn?1272821064 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...I was considering not taking it for a few weeks just to see if this cleared up.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know how sugar blockers affect diabetes? What about long term. Is it safe to use?
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 f tn hey i was wondering if anyone can help me i have been with my boyfriend for a year now and a lot of the time his sugar goes low mainly at night time i notice.... the doctors have advised that he goes on a diet but even a diet does not help him lose weight...could anyone tell me what he can do to control his sugar and what is the best way to lose weight..
Avatar f tn But this morning I got really lightheaded and a headache all of a sudden(which I know is normal in pregnancy) but I checked my blood pressure again to see if that was it, and it was perfect. So I checked my blood sugar and it was 79, I had just had a fruit smoothie. The medical assistant at work told me it was low, and then another told me it was slightly low. My question is does anyone know what it should be? I go to the Dr tomorrow so I will ask him, but I'm just curious.
Avatar n tn but if my period last longer then the sugar pills do i continue taking the b.c pills when the sugar pills run out?
Avatar n tn Do it daily and get plenty of rest as well. Eat lean protein regularly, especially if you have sugar craving. We often crave sugar because our amino acids are low. Fresh veggies, whole grain, drink lots of water. If you are getting all the nutrition you need, the body and brain will stop craving things that are bad for you. Americans don't eat enough whole grain. Fill up on rice, oats, quinoa, millet, any whole grain, and mix veggies and fish, chicken, lean meet, nuts, beans.
Avatar m tn I take 3 diabetes pills Actoplus, Glimiperide and Onglyza, what is healthier taking pills or injecting insulin?
Avatar f tn low cal, diet, fat-free, low fat, sugar-free,etc. They will just add more weight on your body in the end for sure!!! These products are designed for marketing purposes and profits!!! I purchase mostly ONE ingredient items from the supermarket, so I KNOW what's in my food,lol! If you gain weight too easily, have your thyroid checked. Ask and insist for Free T3, Free T4 and Reverse T3 tests! The standard tests miss too often!!! Good luck with your weight loss goals!
Avatar n tn I forget which brand I took for my first pregnancy (7years ago), but, they were horse pills lol ! Wish I knew about gummies then ! I'll be 5 weeeks this Thursday !
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn He said he could see lots of follicles in my right ovary, and what lookde like some scarring on the left. He did not elaborate further. He prescribed me Kariva and sent me home. One thing I want to note here is that after intrusive gynecological exams I always have pain and cramping. Don't know what's up with that. On Saturday I took my first dose of Kariva. A few hours later I started experiencing mild nausea and a terrible headache.
