levora

Avatar f tn A lot of antibiotics cause birth control to be ineffective.
Avatar f tn I have been on levora birth control for four months now and my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex two days in a row and he finished inside of me, we usually don't do that. However, now I'm getting nervous because I hear that levora is a low dose pill and they are easy to get pregnant on.. I usually take it at 8 am sometimes I'm an hour late but usually I always take it at 8. I'm on the third week of my pack so I should be starting my period next week.
Avatar f tn They were also always very heavy and painful, hence why my mother opted to put me on Levora. I loved the Levora because it regulated my periods to 28 days apart like clockwork and also alleviated the heavy flow and cramps. Even when I went off of it for a few months my period remained regular. Well I was forced to get off of it at age 27 after a blood test came back and showed I have Prothrombin Thrombophilia, a genetic disorder that increases my risk of blood clots.
Avatar f tn Within a few days of taking Levora again I noticed that I was much more mentally vulnerable and by the third week on Levora I was completely destroyed emotionally and mentally. This last weekend I had very strong desires to kill myself by stabbing myself repeatedly. I have a great husband who has helped me stay safe and talked me through the difficult times. I am not ready for a hysterectomy/ooverectomy yet. Is there a birth control pill out there with fewer side effects for depression.
Avatar f tn t know. when i went in they switched me off of the yasmin and onto levora so it would be cheaper. but i never had problems with yasmin anyways. but after taking the levora i started getting anxiety not anxiety attacks but just high anxiety all the time everyday till now. i don't know if it was the levora or if it was the sinus thing because i remember feeling sort of like this the day we went to pick the levora for the first time. does anyone have any answers for me.
Avatar n tn I've been on combination birth control for about 5 months now (first Levora, then switched to Portia 2 months in), and I've had breakthrough periods before. In the past, they were like my regular periods: lighter, but similar general consistency and flow so I would have to wear a pad. Recently, I've noticed that when I wipe, there's been light traces of blood which I thought was just my breakthrough period.
Avatar f tn I'm taking birth control pills since yesterday. My doctor didn't ask me to take a pregnancy test because I was sure I wasn't. But this morning I threw up and I feel nausea. I'm also experiencing dizziness. I'm taking levora. So now idk if I'm pregnant or it's just the first effects of the pills. I talked to my doctor and she said I shouldn't be throwing up.
Avatar m tn so for the past 6 months i've been on levora, a birth control. the past couple of months i've been having aches on my right side, i'm pretty sure it's my ovary (and no i do not think it's ovulatin, those aches last only a day). these aches are on and off the whole month.i had my withdrawal bleed about 2 and a half weeks ago so i doubt i'm pregnant. i'm very good at taking the pill as well. i've been with my.
Avatar f tn Hello, If you suffer from dysmenorrhea (painful menses) or irregular menses, yes, the birth control pill can be used to help regulate your menstrual cycle and improve dysmenorrhea. In your case, having had a tubal ligation, the indication would not be for birth control but for the symptoms you describe and that is fine. I'm not sure what you mean by taking four pills. You should take it as you otherwise would: one pill at the same time each day.
1433738 tn?1284356225 I did tell my dr and she told me the best way is to get in bc, and after aleast 3 months stop taking them try to see if I regulate my perod.
Avatar f tn i have been on levora for 3 yrs now. about 2 months ago i started having weird symptoms. My boobs randomly will hurt, or sometimes just 1 nipple. I become moody easily, and sometimes sad easily, i've been getting bloated. i've been feeling bloated and today started cramping mildly. last month i didn't have a normal period it was very light (only needed a pantyliner if that), the blood was brown, had no cramps and it lasted 3 days. I took 2 HPT both were negative.
Avatar f tn ) anyways before my period was due i noticed bad nip pain like almost a burning. it lazted a few days and was on and off. i also kept gettin dizzy spells and nausea. my period was due the 13 i started a day late. normaly im quite regular (i always start on my 3rd sugar pill.) anyways my period was 3 days super light barely a pink/brown spot not even enough to fill a tampon i put one in and it was uncomfy too dry normally i have to wear a pad and a.tampon.
Avatar f tn s my period but its been 4 days now and the bleeding is still pretty heavy which is atypical for me and this length of time for a period is atypical also. I'm concerned, especially since I've never had those specks before my period. I currently don't have health insurance for a month so I need to wait until early October for when my new coverage kicks in. Any advice? Should I continue with my pills for this next month? Any ideas what this could be?
Avatar n tn I wasted so much time and money taking pregancy test (blood and otc) and no pregancy. In November on the 6th I got my period, but it only lasted 3 days and was very light. Now I counted 28 days from that, which is the length of my cycle the pervious months minus Oct. and my period should have been due on Dec. 4th. Here it is Dec. 12th and still no sign and I don't even feel like I'm going to start my period.
Avatar f tn I started oral birth control 20 days ago (levora I think its called). My husband and I had unprotected sex abt 2 weeks before that and my period ended on the same day I started taking the pills. Since then we usually use condoms but a few times haven't. I heard its not uncommon for a woman to miss her period the 1st month on these pills. I've been cramping sorta and have a lot of back pain these last 4 weeks. ( I started on my peach pills Sunday).
Avatar f tn Hi, I started my BC pill on the 31 august like two weeks before my period date, its still few days until my period and I'm getting tommy pains for the last 3 days and breast tenderness. Am I going to get period on the date that I normally would or will the taking the BC pill before my period slow it down? I don't have 21 day pills but 28, no placebo. Will I still get my period ?
2074715 tn?1332363727 Maybe an idea to go to your doctor though and speak to them. They could give you something to induce your period and then you can start from there and have intercourse when you should be.
Avatar m tn hi im 18 years old and about 2 months ago my boyfriend and i had protected sex and ive been on Levora regularly, and never missed a pill. I got my regular period(or so i think) about a week after that(on time) but it was a little lighter that usual but same length of time. The next month I got my period on time as well.
Avatar f tn As the doctors diagnosed a staph infection and prescribed antibiotics before a skin scraping was taken, depending on how many days they have been on the antibiotics and if they were prescribed the correct one, the skin scraping may not show any bacteria now. If the 2 brothers got the rash after swimming at the pool, it may be a reaction to the chemicals in the water.
Avatar f tn and I never thought I would ever take antibiotics again until I had tonsillitis and I told my doctor that antibiotics made me very sick. He suggested this probiotic with penicillin and I didn't experience the same symptoms over again and for that I am thankful. You can easily find this probiotic vitaminized.
Avatar f tn So I've been on depo for 9.months now and got my renewal shot and antibiotics for 10 days on the same day, how long should I wait before having unprotected sex? How will they effect eachother????
Avatar f tn Does anyone know anything about BV and taking antibiotics for it? I just want more info about it, thank you.
461781 tn?1285609481 I remember when I used bcp's that Dr's would always say that when you were taking antibiotics to use condoms or other barrier methods because antibiotics would make the pill uneffective during the time you had to take them. Well I'm trying to ttc and I'm currently taking antibiotics, how would that affect my O? I'm in my O days and I'm hoping that antibiotics would not hurt ttc? I don't know, does anyone know how antibiotics affect your cycle?
Avatar f tn s about 6 months ago, I am unable to take oral antibiotics without some serious side effects, such as diahhrea and a lot of abdominal pain. Has anyone had any luck with other types of antibiotics or do you go straight for the IV antibiotics? I also have Type 2 diabetes, so infection sends my blood glucose way high.
328799 tn?1276565732 re going to have to start taking after the antibiotics are done, is some Acidophilus. The antibiotics not only wipe out the bad bacteria in your body, it takes out the good stuff too. Acidophilus will help you get the good stuff back! 250mg 2x a day is a normal doseage for an antibiotic.
