Common Questions and Answers about Ortho evra and yeast infections

ortho-evra

Avatar f tn I have been on Ortho Evra for a year now. I have been diagnosed with PCOS, although, aside from being irregular I haven't ever had any other symptoms with it. I went on Ortho Evra because I was really anemic, and the irregularity was annoying me, so the patches fixed both. I loved it up until the past month or two when I started noticing that I'm becoming crazy. Slowly I've become really paranoid and been thinking really morbid things.
Avatar n tn Since about the end of August/September 2008 I began having issues with reoccuring BV after treating a yeast infection in late July. Since then, I have had several reoccuring infections. I became sexually active in November [i was not sexually active prior] and that seemed to trigger another infection. Around thanksgiving my gyn prescribed Clindesse vaginal cream and the infection seemed to subside for about a week and then it returned.
Avatar f tn I read on the internet that one symptom in women for HIV is chronic and hard-to-get-rid-of yeast infections. I have no swollen lymph nodes (that I can tell, anyways), no weight lose (I've actually gained 10 pounds) the only flu-like symptoms I've had only lasted two or so days. I've had no rashes. No noticeable fatigue (I've actually been prescribed Ambien for not sleeping well since my husband deployed.
Avatar n tn I just finished my first three weeks of Ortho Evra. I've now had the patch off for 6 days and have not started my period. Is this normal? I had a pap smear and internal exam done 4 days ago...would my doctor have been able to tell if I were pregnant?
Avatar f tn Ortho Evra®, Ovcon® 35, Ortho Tri-Cyclen®, Othro-Cyclen®, Necon® 1/35, Alesse®, Levlite®, Tri-Levlen or Trivora.
Avatar f tn On the contrary I can tell you one I wouldn't recommend!! Ortho-Evra. Horrible. I was only on it for four months because I just couldn't take it, I was severely moody, depressed, low sex drive, and when I went off it, I swear if someone even looked at me funny I was in tears. I believe because it is only a weekly thing there were more hormones than say the Ortho-TriCyclen Lo would have. IMO, I've always felt the lowest dose is probably the best.
Avatar f tn I am on ortho tri cyclen lo and am also prone to yeast infections. I want to try Azo Yeast to help control it. Will Azo interact with the pill?
Avatar n tn I am 19 years old and I am using Ortho Evra patch for contraception and I have been for five months. I have never been pregnant before, but I am beginning to think I have some symptoms even though I have NOT missed or had any late/irregular periods. -I've been feeling a pulse in my stomach especially when I lay down and press on the mid part of my stomach just above the belly button.
Avatar f tn I am currently on the implanon but will be switching to the ortho evra patch . What are some thoughts or opinions on this birth control ? Is there anything bad you experienced or maybe some good effects to it ? ADVICE ?
Avatar f tn if i changed from the pills to the ortho evra patch two weeks go nd i had spotting today and in te middle of he night can it be that im pregnan....
Avatar f tn So, I started taking Ortho Evra back in 2002 to regulate my cycles, I took it for a couple of years and it worked just fine. I wasn't sexually active so I wasn't needing it to prevent pregnancy. I stopped taking it in 2006. My cycles had been pretty irregular, they were all over the calendar, but this last 10 months, they had been particularly bad, every 20-22 days.
Avatar f tn Hello, All your symptoms are the side effects of the birth control ortho evra patch. The Ortho Evra birth control patch releases a high amount of estrogen into the bloodstream—60% more than from birth control pills—which is known to increase the risk for blood clots.These blood clots occlude the blood vessels as thrombi and if they get dislodged and occlude the blood vessels at some other site,they are called emboli.
Avatar f tn we instantly ran to the store i took plan b within 30 minutes. Im on the birth control patch, Ortho Evra. i am supposed to get my period either today or tomorroe and still nothing. i need some advice, im stressing.
Avatar n tn The nect week I got another yeast infection and it went away after a monistat application. I have another yeast infection rigvht now and have not had to take the acyclovir since last month. I'm wondering if i'm going to have a yeast infection every month now and how common this is for other people with similar situations as myself and how should i go about treating this? Will my body build up immunities to one dose over the counter inserts?
Avatar f tn we instantly ran to the store i took plan b within 30 minutes. Im on the birth control patch, Ortho Evra. i was supposed to get my period and still nothing. i need some advice, im stressing. so my question, how effective is plan B after 30 minutes after sex?
Avatar f tn I took ortho evra for about 4 years and had irregular periods for about a year after i stopped. We have now been ttc for 2 years and are finally seeing a RE next week. My dr gave me progestin pills to help regulate my periods and when that didnt work i took clomid. that did regulate them. I blame my infertility on the patch even though my dr swears it is not to blame. Good luck! Happy to answer any other questions. Maybe my experience can help.
Avatar n tn I'm on the ortho evra patch and I always put it in the same spot. I got a rash in that spot so I moved my patch and that week with the patch on I started my period as I would when not wearing it. I was on it that full time then I took my patch off for my actual period week and was still bleeding. So a total of two weeks on my period. Is this normal when moving the patch to a different part of the body?
Avatar f tn When I was 18 I finally got on birth control to regulate it. I started on Ortho Tri Cyclin and then switched to Ortho Evra. I was on Ortho Evra for about 5 years and had no difficulties with it and my period became normal. I stopped taking all birth control in August of 2008. I was expecting to have an irregular period again, but it is much worse. On average I've been getting my "period" about every two months, but I bleed much more than that.

Avatar f tn I am on the ortho evra patch. I mistook my 3rd week as my patch free week. I had sex before the mistake. But no it's been over a week and still no period. Am I pregnant?
720228 tn?1530911279 I have been on the Ortho Evra patch since Jan. 2012. My patch fell off about two weeks ago and then I started my cycle. After that week I put a new patch. This week on Wednesday my husband said that I should change my patch cause it looks like it might come off but I didn't do it until Thursday because that is my normal day to change the patch. On Friday I was spotting a little bit. I figured that my patch came off or was not on good enough.

Avatar f tn I have been using the patch for almost 8 months, last week decided to use only two patches to get my period sooner and now one and a half week later I’m feeling not myself, bitter, no sex drive, rude and not so happy at all, is this normal?

720228 tn?1530911279 I have been using the ortho-evra patch for about 5 months now. About a month ago I had a boil and was prescribed Doxycline. I did not know at the time that this anti-biotic can interfere with your birth control. I had unprotected sex with my husband during this time. Now still using that patch, when I went to change the patch to the next one I guess I did not stick it good enough because it came off and then a day later my period began. Is there any chance that I could have gotten pregnant.
