Common Questions and Answers about Levora vs lutera

levora

Avatar f tn I've tried 3 different kinds of birth controls (Lutera Levora & now Tri-nessa) in the last 3 months to help with my sever migraines. The goal was to have a period every 3 months to avoid month migraines with my period. And during these three months I have experienced continuous bleeding. About two weeks ago I started taking Tri-Nessa and i still am bleeding (definitely more than a spotting).
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 t work, so my Gyn re-prescribed Levora 3 weeks ago. 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.
Avatar f tn So I took Levora from the age of like 14 through 26 (I went off of it around age 23 and got pregnant shortly after so I didn't get back on it until I stopped breastfeeding). I started getting my period very young (age 9) and I don't recall them being too irregular. Normally they'd be about 28 - 32 days in between periods. So a little irregular but still not too irregular. They were also always very heavy and painful, hence why my mother opted to put me on Levora.
1250698 tn?1371351279 This is my first month on Lutera and I've been taking it faithfully. I started taking it the last day of my last period on a Sunday. I guess Sunday is like the holy grail of days to start the pill. lol I was off of birth control since March prior to starting this and I have had a normal period that whole time. I usually get it between Day28 and Day30. I started getting sharp pain in my right ovary (Day24) which lasted for 3 days.
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 am just starting to take a low dose of topamax at 50mg a day and not going to increase to more than 100mg a day and i am wondering if this will interfere with my lutera pills?? i have read that it lowers the effectiveness but i have also read that it doesnt happen until you reach doses of 200mg or more. i have also heard that by increasing your birth control dose you can help the effectiveness and my doctor specifically prescribed lutera because it has a higher dosage than most BC.
Avatar f tn Hi well I just started lutera birth control and this is currently my 5th day on lutera. On my 5th day I had unprotected sex but he didn't come inside me I was wondering if I could get pregnant? Should I worry?
Avatar f tn It has been a combination different hormone pills such as good old OrthoNovum 777 which was my first oral contraceptive and then the Depo shot and now for about the past 8-10 years I have been on Lutera (Alesse). If there is a lower hormone pill (such as Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo) I am hoping maybe my GP will put me on. But then again, might be to late to change? I am on Lutera because I have been diagnosed with PCOS....cystic ovaries.
Avatar n tn I take lutera but I don't take it at the same time everyday. I take it when I wake up. last week my boyfriend came in me and a couple days later I started feeling nauseous and cramps and can barely eat anything. my period is irregular so I can't wait for that cause idk when it'll come. what are the chances I could be pregnant? when can I take a pregnancy test?
Avatar f tn So I then switched to Lutera, about 2 months ago. I was suppose to get my period on Jan. 6. Instead I began what I thought was my period on Jan. 4.which really turned out to be 4 days of dark brown spotting with a few drops of blood. I was experiencing cramping and hot flashes two weeks prior to this till today. I I decided to get off my birth control pills and I have not spotted at all since jan 8. I have also been feeling very nauseated and laying down almost every afternoon for a week.
Avatar f tn I am 18 years old, and I started taking Lutera Birth Control two nights ago. I was prescribed them through Planned Parenthood. Yesterday, the day after taking my first pill, I was breathing normally but I felt like I wasn't getting the depth of air I was used to, which forced me to make myself yawn or take deep sharp breaths. I took my second pill last night, regardless of the shortness in breath, but today I have been experiencing (and noticing) the effect much more.
Avatar m tn I'm on my second month of lutera bc pill and I have started having slight cramps and sore breasts for the last couple of days. I had sex on Feb 9 during my first month of pills, I'm just not sure if this is a side effect of the bc pill because I don't believe that I am pregnant.
Avatar f tn Im on levOra, have been for 5 mOnths. I have horrible allergies so last week I took 1 antibiotic pill to try & stop my symptoms. This was about 5 days ago. Will I get pregnant if I have sex unprotected?
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 n tn I have been taking lutera for three almost four months now, and and have been experiencing constant breakthrough bleeding. My doctor said this is normal however the last week in march i had a problem getting my birthcontrol for four days and finally when i got it that friday after bleeding terribly for the four days i took my usual dose.
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 I take lutera birth control. After my period, I took the first pill of the cycle at about 3 pm on Sunday. The 5 following days, I took it at 7 am, my regular time. On Friday (6 days after late pill) my guy accidentally came inside of me. Am I protected? Should I take plan B? Also-- according to the internet it is my ovulation period. Please help thank you.
Avatar f tn Last month was my first month starting my bc pills Alesse/lutera I missed 2 pills and on the 3rd day I decided to take all 3 pills and I had intercourse on the 8th,9th, and the 10th. The next week was my week for my inactive pills I went the whole week taking them and didn't get a period now I'm on my 6th pill of the new pack and still no period could I be pregnant or is my body just not adjusted to the pills yet???
Avatar f tn i thought so. ik im goin to the doctor tmrw.
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.
Avatar f tn I have been on Lutera bc for almost 2 years the kind where you take 3 packs back to back then a week of placebo pills. the whole time my periods have in no way been regular . around the 10th of December my father in law came from hospice to live out his last days with us. I was scheduled to begin the last week of my three month pack on the 10th. What with all the stress involving my father in law there I forgot to take my last week of pills. My husband and I were sexually active the whole time.
Avatar f tn My doctor put me on birth control after my 6 week check up. Its called Lutera, its generic for Aviane Tab. Its a low dose. She said my first pavk would give me a period but didnt say when & everyone I know has said that im not suppose to have one until the last week of the pack. At first I was spotting red blood but then I was bleeding brownish, like old blood. Online says spotting is normal but now its like a period type. Should I call my doctor monday or is this normal?

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.
