Hi, i have been on lo loestrin fe for 1 month. Today i am taking second brown pill, which is also the last one...i feel menstrual pain for a few days, but no menstruation. I am worried! Is pregnancy possible if i had intercourse with my bf (while i was on the pill) but he had never ejaculated inside? It is written that lo loestrin fe is protecting you from the first day if u are starting on the first day of your period. Thats how i did. But why is my period not coming?
stands for iron in Loestrin fe).
With any hormonal contraceptive, you are going to have some side effects, so the way to go about choosing which to use, is to choose the one the is the best trade off for you (eg. the side effects for the contraceptive benefit).
Finally, because you used the method before with no problems, SOME of your symptoms may be situational too--so consider some stress reduction!
Good luck!
Little semen dropped on the outside of my vagina on april31 and i wiped it off as much as i could and washed too but im not sure how effective that was or if i got it all off. took ellaone 3h later because i was so afraid. period was/is expected between yesterday and today. last period was april 10. i had light pinkish discharge yesterday and so i took a pregnancy test last night which came out negative. i have bright reddish brownish discharge with some clot like black coming out today.
i was put on the birthcontrol called loestrin. ive been on loestrin for a little over 6 months now and all of a sudden one day i couldnt have sex anymore because it hurt so much. as time passed this pain went away but now as of today just him inserting it for one second and then all of a sudden ever since it has hurt to pee.why is this?
Hi there,
Emergency contraceptive pills are very effective in preventing pregnancy if taken in correct dosage and taken as early as possible after sex. Emergency contraceptive pills can cause temporary disruption of the menstrual cycle. If they are taken before ovulation there can be progesterone withdrawal bleeding a few days after the pills are taken. If taken after ovulation, it may increase the length of the luteal phase and may delay menstruation by a few days.
Hi, I am on Loestrin 20 pill and 5 days ago I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. And 4 days later I forgot one pill and then the next night I was 5 hours late taking the next one, so I took the 2 together. But ive been hearing if you forget 2 pills your supposed to take them when you remember and the take another 2 the next day... but I am unsure if I am considered to have missed 2 pills cos I really only missed one cos the second one was just a few hours late??
We used no protection and we were both under the influenece. I took birth control pills as the replacement for emergency contraceptive. This is my second time using BCP since July of last year. I woke up with a sore throat yesterday and have gotten severe flu symptoms. I also wet my bed which is something very unusual. I recently had an episode of axiety and I don't know what could be wrong.
I read on another website that taking an increased dose (4 now and 4 in 12hrs) of certain contraceptive pills has the same effect. The problem is i cant even get the contraceptive pill without a prescription and i cant get a prescription if I'm not married! I am stressed out of my brain! I do have some yasmin tablets in my bathroom drawer. Please tell me if these are suitable to use for this method.
It has already been 24hrs, so I need advice asap. Hopefully someone can help.
Me and my boyfriend were naked together after 12days starting from my last period and though he didn't insert his penis inside my vagina, he did touch it near my vagina. He didn't ejaculate near my vagina either, but am still worried as i have heard that it is possible to get pregnant even if you don't have penetrative sex! 16 hours have passed since the incident and am really scared to take a contraceptive as i don't want any of it's side effects!
Ever since I've had my baby in 2011 I have been taking emergency contraceptive pill if I have sex on my ovulation days. Is it safe? What I mean is are there any side effect if taken the way I do? Thanks. Will really appreciate a response.
I would also advise you that that chance of pregnancy is quite low since you are correct that LoEstrin is similar to other emergency contraception when taken the way that you did--in fact in the old days that's what we used to use.
IF you have a normal period, I would feel comfortable with that, but a pregnancy test is never wrong and you should definitely do one if you don't have a period.
Good luck!
Can anyone help me please, I had one ovary removed 4 years ago due to cyst, I was told to go on the contraceptive pil since then as this would prevent any follicles from developing and therefore minimise the risk of any further cysts. I have always taken my pil correctly and have been for two scans in the last year and each time been told there's lots of follicles and at the most recent scan there was a 2cm follicle.
I'm don't know about that, but I think trying that may run you at risk of not aborting the pregnancy but causing birth defects. You may want to see a physician.
Then I had unprotected sex on 11th November with another guy.I took an emergency contraceptive pill immediately.I experienced light vaginal bleeding after 5 days.Then I had unprotected sex on 21st November with yet another guy.Immediately I administered an emergency contraceptive pill.Again I experienced light vaginal bleeding after 5 days.Again I had unprotected vaginal and anal on 3rd December.But this time I administered the emergency contraceptive pill after a few hours.
Emergency Contraception
In cases of unprotected sex, women can take emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy. Emergency contraception is not a substitute for regular contraceptive methods and it is not the same as the abortion pill. In 2009, the FDA made several changes to the emergency contraceptive pill Plan B:
The original Plan B, which is taken as two levonogesterol pills, is now also available in a generic form called Next Choice.
He is pretty sure that he did not ejaculate, but i want to take an emergency contraceptive pill( such as i-pill) just as a precaution. What i really need to know is whether it can cause any problems with my periods later on. i had my last period from january 22,2009. also, does it have too much of side-effects? i have a family history of PCOS, though i haven't been diagnosed with it.
Plan B can cause alot of issues and is only recommended on an emergency basis only and not as a routine contraceptive. For her health she really needs to follow the doctors orders and you as her bf should encourage her to follow them as well and not encourage her to do otherwise. You need to be supportive for her well being right now.
