mircette menopause

Sorry so late to post, but I have been using Remifemin for years and can't live without it! As soon as I stop using it, the night sweats, sleepless nights, moodiness and inability to concentrate reappear. My gynecologist recommended it. I'm 52 now and am officially in menopause, but I started using it during peri menopause. It's much cheaper per month than the Wisdom formula and it's available at Walmart.

ve been told that its 1mg of norethindrone is still pretty androgenic especially for those who already have an imbalance. Would Mircette be an option with desogestrel being less angrogenic? Also, any experience with prescribed HALF tab of OC? (ie. instead of Loestrin 1/20.. use 0.5/10 for hormonal imbalance?) Just concerned about initial breakout. Just some background... I have not used OC previously.

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!

By the way, I've been taking mircette but I'm probably going to start something else because it is very expensive.

ve been on Mircette (a.k.a Kariva). Before I started Mircette I stopped my pills about 3 days before I was supposed to right before I was to start my cycle. Anyway, long story short, with this pill all I've had are bad gas and gas pains, some cramping but other than that I don't feel like I'm on bcp. Well yesterday I was supposed to have my period but when I thought it was here, I had mucus like cm and then some pinkish brownish discharge with it.

I have just gone through a similar situation. I stopped taking Mircette on 6/4. Since then I've had all kinds of stomach cramps, pinches, nausea, REALLY SORE BOOBS, and all other stuff you would expect from PMS or possible pregnancy. AF showed exactly 4 weeks after I took my last pill. My body was getting back to pre-bcp body. Your body is going through that same thing in my opinion.

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. I would love to find an endo specialist/surgeon in the Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia area to get the endo excised. I am tired of feeling so awful. I would love to travel to a specialty center, but I have 3 young children and a part-time job. Thank you so much!!

Also taking birth control (Mircette) continuously for period suppression (ie, only 4 periods a year -- 3 months of active pills followed by a one week break.) I am having trouble interpreting my latest labs with my thyroid and sex hormones... Sex Hormone Binding Globulin - 306 (high) Testosterone, Free - 1 (low) Testosterone, Free Percent - .3 (low) Testosterone, Total - 41 T3 - 229 (high) Thyroxine, Free - 1.5 TSH - 1.22 How is it that my T3 is elevated and the other be fine?

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.

I think they're confused. If you read the full prescribing information, it's the PILL that screws with the lamotrigine, not the other way around. It's not like a lot of other anticonvulsants. From http://epilepsy.med.nyu.edu/treatment/medications/lamotrigine "Lamotrigine has no effect on other seizure medicines. And unlike some other seizure medicines, it does not reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.

for actually being in menopause is 51 or 52. (Menopause defined as having had no period for a year.

Hi all I'm in menopause now 7 year my period has stopped almost two years now... in the past month my hot flashes have got considerably aggressive and most upsetting to the point where I feel dizzy and sick sometimes when I experience one I'm not on hrt as I choose not to take it I'm more into fighting it myself with a little help from vitiams is there anyone here than can relate to what I'm going through.

No, menopause comes when you are out of eggs. The only way to deliberately start menopause early is to get your ovaries removed, and I don't recommend it.

Hi Dr. Downing, I thought I was through with menopause as my last period was about 18 months ago, age now 53,,,2 weeks ago,,,I had a steroid shot for a rash and about 5 days later I started my period. Lasted about 4 days as it normally was and now its over. Does this mean,,,I am going to start having periods again or do you think the shot could have started this. Thank you!

I am having mild symptoms of menopause at this point. Waking up in the middles of the night in winter and running outside to cool off, other issues too. Is this where being a woman sucks? I do however notice that I am really crabby. I never have been like this and even surprise myself. Any hints on help maybe herbal formulas? I can live with the other stuff, but this carbbiness is bad.

Because it may chance that you may hit the menopause. So try to consult your doctor as soon as possible. Take lots of vitamins in your diet and do regular exercise this all will help you out. Take care dear.

I would be concerned at the point when I'm wondering if everything is ok. So for you, if you have a gnawing feeling that maybe this isn't quite typical, you should see your doc. Some symptoms of thyroid disorders are similar to perimenopausal symptoms, so testing would rule out thyroid disease. Also, if your bleeding is continual for a prolonged period, you could become anemic.

my period is crazy it comes when it wants light, heavy twice a month since im having so much dizziness could this be a result of menopause?

I've been "post-menopausal" based on blood test results for two years. I had one light period 18 months ago, and last February and March I had two "periods" that were just a few days of brown spotting. Since then, nothing. I experience feeling absolutely horrible -- symptoms come and go but when they come they last for months at a time. The most disconcerting are balance issues, and very weak legs. I have a hard time just standing up long enough to make dinner.

I don't know, but mine skyrocketed the past year and I also went through menopause.

Never had sleep problems before until getting menopause. I take now 2 days of 1/2 pill of estrogen red pill and every 2 days medroxy progesterone. I hadn't taken it for quite a long time but started again after reading it prevents thickening of walls. I awake around 3 and have a hard time sleeping. I started taking on the shelf after midnight. This works for 4 hrs now I am wondering about melatonin. I tried two 5mg at 3 and couldn't sleep at all. Finally did at 6. Guess was too much.

I havent had a period in 2 yrs and I have had the blood test in which it showed I am going through menopause. I am 49 and feel like I am having a nervous breakdown. I have to work and am finding it harder and harder to get through a day.

hiya i had a toal hysterectomy including removal of my ovaries which has sent me into early menopause, im 45, im due back to full work in 2 weeks and feel terrible fully healed after surgery but the sleepless nights sometimes i get up 5 or 6 times and the hot flushes im totally exhausted before the day even starts and wondering how im going to get through a full day at work ive just been given livial by my gp (cant take hrt high risk due to family medical history) any help would be greatly appre

The only way to know for sure where you are at with menopause is to go to you Dr and gets tests done to see, and if you are not trying to get pregnant then protection is a must at this point as well! im not sure what pill your talking about taking? but as of right now techincally if you did concieve there is no way of knowing as its far too early to test...
