Avatar f tn It's highly likely the emergency contraceptive pill you took is making her bleed, and will likely cause intermittent bleeding for the next month or so - and could delay her usual period at least for one month. Additionally, if you aren't having penetrative sex, there is no way she'll get pregnant. A few sperm deposited at the outside opening of her vagina won't be able to swim all the way up to an egg, without seminal fluid to neutralize the Ph.
2104296 tn?1334841551 I friend of mine is on this birth control. She is having some huge side effects. I am trying to find more information about this birth control for her. I have lots of questions and looking for some answers. If anyone has used this birth control and has had problems with it. Please contact me so I can compare notes. Thanks so much!
Avatar n tn I have been researching the cardiovascular effects of birth control and saw that it can raise c-reactive protein levels. How clinically significant is this? I know crp is a measure of inflammation in the body. So is increasing it's level going to actually cause inflammation? Or is it simply upregulated, and if so what are the consequences of that? I recently switched for alesse which has levonorgestrel. I read this progestin has the worst effect on cholesterol levels.
Avatar m tn just take the morning after pill and start on the birth control like a week later as the dose of hormones are high in the morning after pill and may cause alot of side effects if you start birth control pill so soon. hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Also, I took a pill after maybe around 14 hours after? I took the Levonorgestrel 3x/day and I am on my 3rd day taking it so I already consumed 9 tabs. Can I still get pregnant? I am so anxious and paranoid because I am still in the university and just about to reach my dreams. I am also too young to conceived and I was raised in a society which pre-marital sex is not honored. I am so shameful about myself to be honest.
Avatar n tn I do not know whether she or I had any precum on our hands from my organ but just to be sure and safe 1.5mg Levonorgestrel (Plan B or Unwanted 72) was taken about 12 hours later (around 10.45am on 24th September 2011). Both of us are not sure whether we had precum. I touched only the outer side of outer lip and nowhere near the opening of her vagina. She covered it two times during the occasion with her hands to stop me.
Avatar f tn Plan B® One-Step is composed of a progestin-only (levonorgestrel) tablet. Levonorgestrel is well-trusted and has been commonly used in many birth control pills for over 35 years. In a clinical trial, women tolerated Plan B® One-Step well; 14% experienced nausea and 1% experienced vomiting.5 Plan B® One-Step is safe and well-tolerated. Some women may experience mild side effects, similar to those of regular birth control pills.
Avatar m tn Each tablet contains 0.75mg Levonorgestrel. and told me not to worry nothing will happen. but i am afraid please tell me if there is any chances of getting pregnant let me precise the whole thing 1- we were enjoying dry humping. (no intercourse and dry humping with full clothes on) he was on top 2- i am a virgin girl, never had sex before. not even this time, it was just dry humping. 3- my last periods were ended on 4th Feb. they were in between 29 jan to 4 feb.
Avatar f tn Does anyone has experience with taking this pill and how long did these side effects lasted? And did you get a new cycle on the day of the bleeding?
Avatar n tn For the first month it was OK, no side effects other then some loss of libido. After talking with doc about it he changed it to another one with levonorgestrel instead of dienogest. After 2 days of taking it I started experiencing extreme thirst, anxiety, palpitations, minor blood sugar rise and hard to sleep (since thirst was waking me up several times). I endured it for 1 week and went to my gynecologist to talk about it.
Avatar f tn I went to a Rite Aid and took the emergency contraception ,My Way (levonorgestrel) 20 min. afterwards and I started taking Junel Fe on Wednesday August 31, the same day my period ended. I'm trying to schedule an appointment with my obgyn, because the only thing I've felt out of the ordinary is bloating since Sun to the point where I need to sit every time I stand, being out of breath sometimes or can barely eat for a day.
Avatar n tn I'm currently on birth control pills (Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) and i'm overweight so i'm planning on taking Hydroxycut Hardcore Next Gen. Will Hydroxycut affect the effectiveness of my bcp?
Avatar m tn An hour later, I took the 72-hour emergency contraceptive levonorgestrel, two tablets of 0.75 mg. Is my girlfriend more likely to get pregnant? Sorry, my English is not very good.
Avatar n tn pill (that contains 50 microg of ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg of Levonorgestrel) roughly 24 hours after the intercourse and another 24 hours later 12 hours third one and fourth one 24 hours after that. it's been a week now and she hasn't had her period yet, but she's experiencing lower abdominal pain and tiredness (which are said to be the symptoms of the pills) what are her chances of being pregnant?
874116 tn?1240368959 The name is Ipill with the levonorgestrel hormone. I used it once mid cycle after my period last month and got pregnant. I really want to know if teh hormone can cause any potential harm to the baby. I am in a fix and would really appreciate some advice....
Avatar f tn 2-3 hours after that, he rubbed his penis on my v and when it got wet I immediately wiped and washed it with water. I was only able to take levonorgestrel 24-25 hours after that happened. He told me that he doesn't release anything before and after he ejacs. Are the chances of getting pregnant is low, medium or high?
1414174 tn?1304680526 I started noticeing side effects at about 8pm, and they continued till this morning. I experienced a low grade headache, aches in my upper legs and lower back, some difficulty sleeping, and an awkward kind of dizziness (which I notice now seems to immediately follow my Riba dose). I am a Genotype 1b, with what I was told a 6log Viral load?? I have clean and sober for over 6 years, and am pretty sure I contracted the virus about 7-8 years ago..
7829857 tn?1401192659 I am grateful to have been cleared at the 4 week mark. I was just feeling that the side effects were getting worse and worse and i was battling discouragement. I am very grateful for your help and admire the way you are handling this!
Avatar f tn I am 55 yrs old female and went for a physical and was told i had high blood presure, that day it was 144/92. I had a blood test and it showed high cholesteral 257. Doctor put me on 10 MG Lisinopril. I took the tab for 5 days on the fifth day my heart was pounding so hard in my chest and i felt like someone was sitting on my chest. This happened a few more time over the next week and it would go away after a few min.
Avatar m tn 22 days on sovaldi-olysio-no side effects,not even a headache.And to this life long non responder who has done and failed with everything that has been on the market,this combo is working.Cant believe I am getting better and not suffering like I did with all the previous poison.Its like Dr. Bones McCoy from Star Trek brought this stuff back from the future.
Avatar n tn I woke this morning with aches and pains and have been experiencing a headache on and off all day that is when I am not SLEEPING. Honestly I am not complaining especially since I had expected much worse. My question is do the symptoms change or/and get worse as treatment continues. I would assume they do get worse since the meds build up in your body. I have 3 kids ages 16,11,and 7.
Avatar f tn This treatment has a high risk of psychiatric side effects, you need to find a doctor who is up to date on the treatment and side effects. Search the archives on this forum, its got lots of good discussions and information. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Did you taper off the vibryd or quit abruptly? You can't just switch from one medication to another even in the same class and avoid withdrawal -- these meds are not easy to stop taking and it must be done carefully. Unless you completely stop taking a medication before starting another it's impossible to tell if your symptoms are a sign you're suffering withdrawal and quit too quickly or are side effects of the new medication.
