Common Questions and Answers about Mircette and depression

mircette

Avatar m tn For the past 10 days I have had light brown discharge non-stop, bloating, and bad stomach cramps. I was on Azurette birth control for about a year and then I switched to Mircette(this is my first pack); so I was wondering if the switch could have anything to do with it even though they are basically the same birth control. I am due for my period on Tuesday the 29th. I am very confused as to why this is happening so I'm wondering if you have any ideas or explanations!
525501 tn?1212432217 Mircette contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Mircette also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus." sorry if I'm spamming a bit... I'm gonna go to be now, it's 2 hrs past my normal bedtime anyways....
Avatar f tn All day I had maybe an equivalent to about 5 spots of pink and brown when I wipe and on a liner. Well today I wiped this morning and there was a little dot of pink/maybe red and that's it. I have nothing on my liner to care about. Do you think my body is adjusting to the low dose eventhough I was just on it the end of March (Loestrin 24) and April (Ortho Lo)? I'm confused and don't know if I should POAS.
Avatar f tn My husband and I have had unprotected sex and for the past 2 weeks I have had tender/swollen breast, went up almost a cup size, very bloated, unexpected nausea that comes and goes. Since Friday I have had very light cramping and pelvic pressure that comes and goes, when I move around they subside. This might sound gross but around 6/25 or so when I woke up I was very wet. I had sex around this time now I dont know if that was me ovulating or what. HPT's negative, maybe it is to soon.
Avatar f tn I have so many of the symptoms (pelvic, lower back and abdominal pain, bowel/gastro issues, horrible cramps, etc.). I am 39, but believe that BCP's helped suppress some of my symptoms for years until I had my last child (I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with IBS). I decided to get off BCPs and since, have been feeling awful. I am back on the pill (continuous Mircette), but still do not feel well.
Avatar f tn Hi, are you on birth control? I was on Mircette to regulate my cycle and because it wasn't "strong enough" I spotted mid cycle. I also spotted on the Depo shot so it could be birth control. You are not pregnant from giving a hand job.. unless you took the semen and inserted it into your vagina which I doubt you did. If you did have sex and just don't want to say.. then you could be pregnant and the spotting could be implantation bleeding.
Avatar f tn I work in the medical field yet I have been blind to my own symptoms. I am 47 and on Mircette for birth control and as a prophylactic for migraines - so I do not have a period. For the past three months or so I have been waking at 3am (despite 100 mg Trazadone that had been working fairly for several years) soaked in sweat. Sorry for the run-on sentence. Anyway, I attributed this to stress and a worsening of my Anxiety NOS.
408958 tn?1214843583 I think i can promisse u its gonna get better , 2 weeks after my first tx i was amazed over the big differens in mood thoughts and everything. Like someone else pointed out.
1371539 tn?1281268141 t had my period on my own for over a year now, and even stopped getting it while still on Mircette (birth control). My OB moved us onto a fertility specialist ASAP and with a moderate PCOS diagnosis, despite no cysts, I am waiting for my first beta blood test tomorrow to see if our round 1 of IVF was successful. I wish you much luck and persistence to get answers from your doctors! Remember...you know your body best!
Avatar f tn I had terrible shoulder pain for about 2 years with Major Depression, and after caving in and finally taking anti-depressants, my only complaint is that I didn't start 1 year and 11 months sooner than I did! It also took away all of my shoulder/back pain. Now it is only sore after I exercise, which is normal and good. :) Good luck, and for your sake I hope it helps!
2070825 tn?1337225969 I have dealt with depression my whole pregnancy you should look into speaking to professional about your depression and looking into joining groups with similar stories so you don't think your the only one. I also found that going shopping even if u don't buy.anything helps you could started planning all the things you want/need for the baby.
Avatar m tn Depression affect all of us at some stage in our lives and is nothing to be ashamed of.It happens to the best of us and often goes hand in hand with other conditions,but there are excellent medications that can help with depression.You and hubby should have a chat to your doctor.
2064754 tn?1333375663 There are different types and classes of medication that people are prescribed for anxiety and depression. There are faster actiing meds like Xanax and Ativan that are used on an as needed basis and are usually prescribed more short term and then there are medications like Zoloft and Prozac (SSRIs) that are prescribed more long term and taken on a regular basis. While these are only two types, there are also multiple other classes of medications that are used in the treatment of both.

Avatar n tn Hi all, im 32+3 weeks wth my first and really starting to struggle with the idea of labour I have suffered from anxiety and depression in the past and scared of going back down that route as im constantly thinking negative thoughts about things going wrong in labour. I lie awake at night just going over and over it in my head then im ridiculously tired the next day because ive had no sleep which in turn makes me moody, emotional and lethargic.
Avatar m tn Hi I have a major problem. My teenager, who is 18 years old, was charged with a reckless crime. The max sentence is 4 years in prison for this crime. I find myself looking up suicide statistics because I don't think I can handle him going to jail or worse yet prison. I've found a attorney so hopefully he can help .I also have cancer am worried about that. I don't know what to do. How do I survive?
Avatar f tn m having a boy and am very excited but within the last week depression and anger has hit me hard. I have outbursts of mixed emotions on a daily basis; screaming, crying, and anger. I seem to not be able to control it anymore. Sometimes I'll just lay in bed and cry for an hour or two and I'm just not sure why. I am happy about my pregnancy but these hormones are out of control. Today I freaked out on my boyfriend and punched a hole in the door.
Avatar f tn Before pregnancy I was a very confident and ambitious woman... felt like I could take on the world... when I found out I was pregnant, not going to lie, I was a little confused but accepted the fact I was becoming a mother and worked my butt off to prepare. Now that I'm closer to give birth, I feel super depressed and stressed out like no other that it's hard to concentrate and I have no motivation to go out and do things...
Avatar n tn But I just read someplace that depression and mood swings can be part of MS. I am limited as to what I can take for depression. I can't take SSRIs and just tried a low dose of Wellbutrin which fiddled with my BP. Had to go off it. I inject Copaxone 20 mgs daily. Any thoughts? I just wish I could be happier and more motivated in spite of MS.
Avatar f tn I was the same way depression and anxiety before pregnancy I stopped cold Turkey on my meds when I found out I was pregnant and I am riding it out I don't want to get on medication I want to protect my baby but my dr said it's worst not taking medication that the baby feels the stress hormones.
Avatar f tn I suffer from anxiety and depression. More anxiety then depression (I think), I've had it all of my life and I could always pretty much control it,up till about 12 years a ago. I've seen countless drs and therapist and have not gotten much help. I have uncontrollable feelings of panic,fear,and excessive worry ALL the time. I also have no energy,not even to shower or do "everyday" things that normal people don't even think about.
Avatar f tn Your hormones are going to be everywhere while youre pregnant. Be sure to discuss these feeling with you OB the next time you go! If it gets worse please don't wait! Depression is real and it's harmful to you and the baby! It also leads to postpartum depression. Just keep your head up dear!
Avatar f tn You will go through this for some time. Real time. Months and maybe a year or more. The subs are known to cause depression and yes your brain is healing. While you are on any opiates your body stops making seratonin. It's your natural happy drug. It takes a long time for your brain to realize that it has to start making it's own natural pain killer again. You may experience anxiety and depression and even have some aches and pains that you never had before.
Avatar f tn Im a little over 13w and i have had so much anxiety thinking that something could go wrong and a lot of depression cause the dad cant grow up and it gets lonely doing this by myself. Music seems to help and talking to my sister who just went through her pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I'm currently taking zopiclone for sleep been taking them for ten days. Can I just stop taking these? I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety I'm also currently taking propranolol and fluoxetine.
