Looking forward for ur replies..thankz a lot! | 256,900 | Hi thanks for the query.Althea pill has cyproterone acetate which has antiandrogen activity and hence more side effects. It is mainly used when patients have acne/ PCOS also.If you don't have these, then you can try other pills with safe progesterone.Pills should be started on day 1 of menstrual cycle an the pack should not be left in between for its complete contraceptive effectHope this information is helpful and informative to you.If you have further queries you can directly reach out to me on the following URL:http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-deepti-goyal/65111 | Had depo injection.

I accidentally missed taking a Loette pill a few nights ago, then started bleeding, so am taking Primolut to make it stop. Is it ok to keep taking my Loette pills at the same time as taking Primolut 5mg? Or should I cease taking the Loette until the end of this cycle? I still have 10 active Loette pills left in the tray. Thanks in advance. | 256,901 | hi.. thanks for using HCM..you are taking oral contraceptive pill.. missed taking the tablets..you have not mentioned the reason for taking the tablet?if it is for contraceptive?... wait for 5 days for bleeding to occur, then start with the new pack of pills from 5th day onwards..primolut will not help to stop bleeding..all the very best.. | Planning to take althea pill as contraceptive measure.

Hi, i'm on my 24th day of my cycle when when I started to consume a new pack of pills. first, i take 4 pills, and after the intercourse i took 3 pills. He used a condom that time, and I believed it was really safe. For the next two days, i took 1 pill each. therefore, i have taken 9 pills, and i discontinued taking it. I'm ow worrying why i still dont have my period. | 256,902 | Hi, Thanks for writing to us. You had pills in a wrong manner now you should stop anything and wait till your period come then start taking first pill from first day of your menstrual cycle and continue till 21days then break for 7 days(for 28 days pills pack), If period comes its ok otherwise start new pack from 8th day and continue as before. If your period not come then first check for pregnancy then only start pills. Good luck. Take care. | Missed taking loette pills. Bleeding started. Can I take primolut? |
hi i would like to know if i missed a birth control pill and didn t take it and had unprotected sex can i be pregnant and how long after will i start getting symptoms if i am?hi i would like to know when i missed a contraceptive pill and didnt take it and had unprotected sex with my husband can i be pregnant and if so how long before i start getting symptoms? | 256,903 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Yes, there is a possibility of getting pregnant if you miss your contraceptive pill and have unprotected sex. Wait around 7-10 days and then take a home pregnancy test, that should give you your result. Alternatively you can go to a doctor and ask him to test your blood to check if you are pregnant.Another thing you can do is call up your doctor and ask them to prescribe you with emergency pills that work for up to 5 days after unprotected sex, for example ulipristal acetate. So if it has been less than 5 days since the incident, I believe that would be the best option for you.I hope this answered your question. | Took pills after intercourse, didn't get periods yet.

hi i am 22 years old, and i am having irregular cycles ever since stopping birth control last year. i had my first depo injection in February 2012 and my second in may 2012 i didn't return for my third injection in august, instead i went onto the mini pill until October 2012. my cycle started in September 2012 and last 24 days. my next cycle last 46 days. my next 35 days. my next 40 days and my last one 43 days. i currently have my period but it has only lasted 3 days. i am worried that my cycle has not yet became consistent and regular after six months off depo. | 256,904 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.I recommend you see a obs and gynae specialist, she can prescribe you with proper hormone replacement medication that should help get your period back to normal, they can also run an ultrasound to check if there is anything wrong with your ovaries. This would just be standard procedure to check if everything is okay with you, nothing to worry about.I hope this answered your question. | Missed taking contraceptive pills, had unprotected sex.

Hi. I m on Sprintec ( norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol ... 0.250 mg/0.035 mg). I m usually very accurate with my bc, but i ve been recovering from an intestinal infection in addition to a bladder infection and haven t been myself lately. I was supposed to start my new pack of bc on March 13th, but didnt until the 14th, because that was the soonest i could get my prescription. After driving 12 hours yesterday, I forgot to take my pill . I doubled it today, but didn t realize i had forgotten it until after i had sex. My question: Should I take plan b just to be safe? | 256,905 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Yes, I think you should take an emergency pill just in case. There is always a chance of conception when you have intercourse after missing a pill, so to be on the safe side take an emergency pill as soon as possible.I hope this answered your question. | Took depo injection two times, then took mini pill.

Hi, i m in age 36 and never get pills. Me and my husband having plan to have kid but decided to get only three months pills dian 35 and then stop and go for pregency. My question is, is that affect my pregency? Is that make my pregency by delay or any other problems? Is there any changes in my hormones by getting 3 months pills? What s the fastet way to get pregnant after stop taking pills? Thanks, Sue | 256,906 | Hi Sue,Thank you for posting your question here I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Many women take contraceptive pills for months, even years before they decide they want to get pregnant and from what I have seen in my career they usually always manage to get pregnant unless is their some other problem with them.The best way to get pregnant is by having intercourse on the days when you are ovulating, so when you see your doctor for the prescription for contraceptives, ask him how to calculate the days when you are ovulating. In case he doesnt know how to calculate them, refer to me and I will let you know.I hope this answered your question. | Had missed birth control pill. Had sex. What to do? |
i been on birth control for about 2 years- Seasonique that is. I just stopped taking them. I started bleeding like as if it was my period a few days after i stopped. Not sure if it was my period or not by the way. But, now i have my period and i have been itching and burning down there really bad. I just need to know why. | 256,907 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.If your vagina is burning and itching, I think it is quite possible that you have some kind of infection. It could be that you have vaginosis. So go see a doctor,m they will check if you have an infection and if you do what kind of infection and then treat you accordingly.I hope this answered your question. | Planning for taking birth controls for 3 months.

Hi,I am currently on birth control but I "feel" pregnant. I have had 3 pregnancies before with one child currently so I am familiar with the feeling. My question is if I was taking antibiotic eye drops, could this have lowered the effectiveness of the pill at all? Also I am pretty good about taking it the same time every day but may be about 4 hours off sometimes. Thanks! | 256,908 | Hi, Thanks for using HCM.Antibiotic eye drops wont affect your birth control but few antibiotics when taken orally will affect. Since you are having symptoms this may be due to other reason. Get done one UPT done if you miss your normal period. Otherwise dont worry. There are also some food and other drugs that can affect effectiveness of pills. Consult your doctor for examination once to rule out pregnancy and management.Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.RegardsDr. Lohit | Itching and burning in the vagina. Stopped birth control. Severe bleeding. What to do? |
I am on Beyaz birth control tablets. My "sugar" pills began on Wednesday and during the middle of the day today, I started getting really bad cramps like my period had started. I put a tampon in, and when I went to take it out, there was barely any blood. This happened again later on.. Should I be concerned? I usually only get cramps if I have a heavy flow. I'm confused | 256,909 | Hi thanks for the query.You should take some antispasmodics like mefenemic acid tablets. This may be an indication of start of your period and may be relieved with start of your period.Hope this information is helpful and informative to you.If you have further queries you can directly reach out to me on the following URL:http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-deepti-goyal/65111 | On birth control.

I was on microginon 30 n finished my last pill packet saturday last week! during my last pill packet I had diarreah for about 10 days! Myself n my partner decided that that pill packet would be my last n I will come off to start trying for a baby! I came on my period Thursday n today I have finished! My period is a lot lighter and normally lasts for 6-7 days! I started taking folic acid vitamin tablets Friday could this be why my period is so light and different? | 256,910 | Hi,Thanks for the query.After stopping the pills you will get withdrawal bleeding only instead of normal menstrual flow.And the withdrawal bleeding can be lighter compared with normal menstrual flow.Folic acid and vitamin tablets usually will not affect the menstrual flow.After stopping the pills it will take some time for regularization of the periods.Once your cycles become regularize you track your ovulation and plan intercourse around that period, which will increase the possibility of pregnancy.Refer:http://srsree.blogspot.in/2013/07/infertility-1_8.htmlFor more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | Bad cramps without periods.

my girlfriend has been on the implant for about 2 years, and has also been taking microgynon for the last 5 weeks, i am wanting advice on ejaculating inside the vagina and whether or not he can be pregnant? i know what both contraseptives are supposed to do but i read than using both together can thin the mucus around the cervix??? | 256,911 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Yes they do say that taking two contraceptives at the same time can increase the chances of pregnancy, so why dont you ask your girlfriend to stick with only the implant, she doesnt need the pill as well.I hope this answered your question. | On Microgynon 30 last pack, started diarhea, will come off the pill.

Hi I ve had my mirena coil for 2 years now. I ve had extremely sore nipples , terrible mood swings and its been making me lethargic. I got the mirena to atop my periods because I was bleeding through several pill contraceptions. It does stop my periods apart from every 6 months. Could you advise me on a more suitable contraception? | 256,912 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Well you could just use avoid having intercourse on the days when you are ovulating, it is one of the easiest methods of contraception if you have a regular period that is, if you have an irregular period it makes it slightly harder.This is how you calculate the days on which you are ovulating, add 14 days from your last period, the next 4 days after that are the ones when you ovulate.So if you avoid intercourse for those 4 days, you're safe. If you want to be extra safe you can make it 7 days instead of 4, that way you have some margin for error.I hope this answered your question. | Has implant and taking microgynon.

Hi I m 23 years old. Yesterday I had sex with my boy friend without any protection, though he pull out before falling sperm but we are confuse. So please tell me do i need to take pill or not? And if i take then can it make any problem for future pregnancy because before i had already take i-pill 2times.. So please reply me as soon as possible. | 256,913 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. I recommend you use ulipristal acetate, it is a emergency pill that works up to 72 hours intercourse. As far as I know there is no dangerous side effect of taking an emergency pill, the common side effects are nausea, vomiting and change in your cycle, so that the next period is either earlier or later than usual.I hope this answered your question. | Had Mirena coil fitted.

Hi, I m a 15 year old girl on contraceptive mixed pill , I missed it for 2 mornings and took both around 2:20 on the second day, and that evening (although I have been fingered 3 or 4 times before by the same boy) my boyfriend did it again, I don t know if it was rougher or something, but when I got home my discharge was pink, and I bled after that overnight. I have pains in my lower abdomen now. I have never done this before but I m slightly worried as to what caused it, a close call with the pill? Or did he break my hymen? | 256,914 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Yes it is possible to break your hymen by fingering, but in your particular case I think your boyfriend was a little rough with you that is why it still hurts. So tell him to be gentler next time, you should be back to normal within a couple of days. Just give your body sometime to heal.If for some reason you keep bleeding and it doesnt stop, see a doctor right away.I hope this answered your question. | Had unprotected sex in pull out method.

Hi, I'm going on holiday tomorrow and don't haven time to go to the doctors. It's my second year on the implant and I've for the last 6months ive had very long periods. i want my period to go away (im now on the 12th day of this period) as there is strain on my relationahip with my boyfriend and the holiday will just be us two. I have cilest left over as previous contraception (exp 05 2013) that i could take on top of the implant to calm my bleeding. Is it a bad idea to use the cilest if its 2months out of date? | 256,915 | Yes, you should never take a medicine with an expired date. Instead, you can buy another from some other store or some other brand with same drugs. Also, haemostatics can also provide you relief from this bleeding.You should also take iron syrup/ tablets to build up the loss. | Missed contraceptive pill, had both together.

Hi, I used Nordette as ECP and I'm getting worried that it did not work. My last period was last June 14-20. We had unprotected sex on June 22. Although it was already the 2nd round and he was definite that he did not spill inside me and he was far from cumming when we stopped, i still know that there are possibilities of premature ejaculation. It took me approximately 57 hours after to take 4 pills of Nordette then 4 more 12 hours after. I experienced nausea, back pains, and became very sleepy the past days. Are these effects of the pills or early signs of pregnancy? I took a pregnancy test yesterday to check. It was negative, but I'm worried that it still might be early to check. What are the chances that I'm pregnant? Please help me. | 256,917 | Hi, I understand your concern and I shall answer your queries in points.1. Though not equivalent of normal emergency contraceptive pills 8 pills of nordette can act similar to emergency contraception. 2. The chances of pregnancy is fairly dependent on the timing of sexual intercourse when periods are very regular. Sexual intercourse close to midcycle when you are likely to ovulate is more fruitful than close to or after period.3. Chances of pregnancy are higher when there is deposition of semen within the genital tract.Based on these facts, your chances of pregnancy is remote, though not completely ruled out. Nausea and back ache are more likely to be side effects of extra nordette pills. You may wait until the next expected date of period and if you miss it (which is most likely due to additional pill consumption), get the urine pregnancy test done.

Please help | 256,919 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.It is quite obvious that you are suffering certain side effects related to taking noriday, as such the best plan of action is to change to another mini pill since this one doesnt suit you, you could try norethisterone, it is also a mini pill.Call up your doctor and tell him your problems with noriday and why you wish to change, ask him if he can prescribe norethisterone to you, I doubt he will mind.I hope this answered your question. | Changed birth control pills.

I've been on Jolessa for over 2 years and for the first time last week I started bleeding excessively, half way through my 3 month pack. At first I continued taking the pill, noticing it would not stop, I stopped taking the pills. But it still has not slowed down at all, I am still going through many heavy pads a day. I have not had any pain or cramps. So I am just worrying since this is the first time this has ever happened and I have been on the pill for over 5 years. I am mostly wondering if I should wait a little longer and see if it resolves itself, or call my OBGYN tomorrow and get an appointment asap. | 256,920 | Hi,Thanks for the query.Better to consult gynecologist once.Hormonal imbalance may be the cause for your bleeding.As you stopped the pills in the middle, that withdrawal might have added to the bleeding.So you consult gynecologist, get examined and take tablets to stop the bleeding.Go for one ultrasound and if your doctor recommends you can go for hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, FSH and LH, thyroid profile etc.With this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | Get deep hormonal spots on chin, headaches on using noriday.

I had a medical abortion 6 weeks ago.. I stopped bleeding 7 days after the abortion. 2 weeks ago I noticed a brownish discharge sometimes it gets a little red but doesn't last long. Most of the time it is brownish in color. When I use the bathroom is when I notice it (once I wipe). It is not enough to where I would need a liner. Is this normal? | 256,921 | Hi,Thanks for the query.After abortion, it will take sometime for regularization of the menstrual cycle.And that time can differ from person to person.The possible causes for your brown discharge are:-Hypomenorrhea means scanty flow during periods due to loss of blood during abortion etc.-Ovulatory bleeding, refer:http://srsree.blogspot.in/2012/08/mittelschmerz.htmlIf the spotting repeats in the middle of the cycle once consult gynecologist.For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | Taking Jolessa.

Nothing puts you more in control of your reproductive life than this.The above symptoms are very non specific and cannot be attributed to birth control pills. They are often transient and never really represent any real underlying disease. My advice will be that you continue the pills and monitor whether the numbness and red pink discharge is continuing.

i stopped taking my birth control pill normin-1 because ive been on it for 5 years and want to give my body a break and i no its a strong one so hoping to try shift some weight that ive gained over the 5 years. i didnt get my period only 1 day of light brown discharge when i peed for one day it was due 2 weeks ago and ive had intercourse twice in this time. then this morning i was in the shower and noticed a light brown jelly like clump. i then went to the toilet and had another clear one. am i pregnant ?? or miscarried ?? | 256,929 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.A brown discharge on its own is not something to worry about, it usually means that during your last period all of the blood didnt come out and its coming out now, that is why it is brown colour and not bright red.So if you arent feeling any other kind of discomfort, dont worry about it.If you are still worried, you can take a home pregnancy test.I hope this answered your question. | On IUD.

My worry now is could my chances of becoming preganant be greater due to the fact i had been off my birth control for three weeks started it back up after three weeks and doubled my dosage as a means of emergency protection from getting pregnant. I had done some research and the results where that it takes 7 days for the pill to be effective now i m worried i could get pregnant. Other sources told me that I would have to be off the birth control for a month. please help any answers would be deeply appreciated. | 256,930 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Yes, there are some variations as to how long the pill is effective after you stop taking it, but the popular answer is 7 days.Whether or not you're pregnant depends on whether or not you were ovulating at the time when you had intercourse. Also did you use a condom?I recommend you take a home pregnancy test in around 5-6 days, that should give you your answer.I hope this answered your question. | Had intercourse twice.

what is the effect of primolut depot injection to mum and the embrayo of 6week one day according to scan but ' i saw my last menses 2nd February' really i dont feel any pregnancy as per tenderness on my breast and connectivity with the child since few days i took the injection 500mg at once and after four days i repeated another of 250mg? | 256,931 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Are you sure you're pregnant? Because if you are, you shouldnt be given primolut, it is medication given to ladies who suffer from irregular periods and it is highly contraindicated in women who are pregnant.So call up your doctor right away and find out what is going on, because if you are pregnant, its dangerous to your baby!I hope this answered your question. | Had stopped using birth control for three weeks.

Hi, I'm 18 and sexually acive and live with my boyfriend. last night i noticed that my uhum nipples where suddenly a lot harder than usual and very sensitive, it felt uncomfortable when i touched them. although i know that on some girls it gets like that before they are about to get their period. although i have had my period since i was 14 and never had such symptoms. ive been on the pill for a while and i know the rules although recently about 2 weeks ago i had my period but stopped my pill because i forgot to buy a new box, we stayed responsible and for the while that i wasnt on the pill we had seks but with condoms only.. eventually i went to get a new box but i think i have to wait until i get my next period and then start again. im not sure if im pregnant. but before freaking me and my boyfriend out i want to know what it might be. im planning on taking a pregnancy test when i am supossed to get my period again so iknow for sure. although i have a nother question, if im not pregnant and take my pill again, how long do we have to have seks with a condom untill i am safe to have seks without condoms? so there are my 2 questions. please help. Thanks in advance :) | 256,932 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.If the condom didnt break then the chances of you getting pregnant are close to nil. Yes, you can start taking the pills right after your next period.So naturally during that time, it is better to use a condom. I recommend that you dont have sex without a condom till you have at least taken the contraceptive pill for two days in a row without being late.I hope this answered your question. | Breast tenderness, missed periods.

Hi I am looking for some advice or information about the contraceptive pill Microgynon 30 in regards to taking this pill late I took it late twice on the first day it was about 13 hours late and then the next it was about 17 hours late, when I see my boyfriend in 3 days do we have to use extra protection for 4 more days? | 256,933 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.You can make up for a late pill by taking two pills the next day, that is what they say. But I believe that you should use extra protection at least till you have taken the pill two days in a row at the right time, not late. After all better to play it safe.I hope this answered your question. | Taking birth control pills. Forgot pill so had sex with condoms. Safe? |

I had my period nearly 3 weeks ago. Soon after my boyfriend and I had sex( protected with BC and a condom) two times in that week. Everything was fine. A week later we had sex again...about two weeks into my BC pills( protected with BC with condom) and a day later I started bleeding. at first it was dark and a little clumpy but now a week later... One my third week of pills it still persist but is light. What is going on. Am I pregnant? Just experiencing spotting? I used two forms of birth control so I find it hard to believe that I could be pregnant when I took so much care | 256,935 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.The chances of you being pregnant are pretty small, after all you used condoms and contraceptive pills.It is very well possible that you're period is early this month, that can happen sometimes. Another reason could be because of the contraceptives, they are known to cause irregular bleeding in some women.So the way it stands, I doubt you're pregnant. But to be on the safe side take a home pregnancy test.I hope this answered your question. | Taking nordette for birth control. Delayed period. Pregnancy chances? |

Hi. I got the mirena on may 15th, 6 weeks after having my baby, so about 6 weeks ago. It's down to minimal bleeding but a dark long string of blood comes out every now and then. I am also losing ALOT of weight and am hardly ever hungry. And have been having stomach pain(but I think that is from not eating) anyways is it normal to have really long dark strings of blood come out? | 256,937 | Hi,Thanks for the query.Usually some amount of spotting can be seen 4 to 6 weeks after delivery.But the dark blood you are seeing at present could be due to mirena side effect.If the bleeding continues, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.You may need one ultrasound also.Then you can take tablets to control the bleeding and possibly the menstrual flow will get regularized in next cycles.For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | Wife had Copper-T as suggested by doctor.

I had a iud put in about 1 1/2 months ago and started bleeding 2 weeks and have not stopped pretty heavy. Yesterday I started passing large blood clots any where from golf ball to baseball size. During one of them my Iud came out with it. The bleeding and cramping stopped until about an hour ago and now I am passing the large blood clots again. Is this normal? | 256,938 | Hi,Thanks for the query.After putting IUD some amount of menstrual disturbances are common.But as you are having continuous bleeding even after expulsion of the IUD, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.Go for coagulation profile once.After confirming the expulsion of the IUD, take medicines to control the bleeding.Once your bleeding stops, you can go for some other contraceptive method.For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | Dark bleeding, long strings of blood, loss of weight, stomach pain.

Hi, I had IUD inserted 8 March,A week before that my monthlys were finished for the month. Very painfull on insertion and alot of bleeding. It felt like I was going to die. 3 Days later was in so much pain and constant bleeding that they suggested I take it out. Which was just as painful. I am yet to have my menstrual cycle again, but still sitting with pain. When the sister removed it she wrote a letter for me to go to a day hospital for a abdominal scan, explaining that I moved on insertion, but it was so sore, I had no choice thinking there could be something more wrong. Any clue on what could have happened? | 256,939 | Hellothanks for your query.Probably the IUD could have perforated the uterus, and moved out.Another possibility is that it was inserted with difficulty creating a false passage.You should definitely visit a gynecologist and have a thorough check up and abdominal and pelvic scans.take care. | Heavy bleeding after IUD is placed.

I think I may have broke out in hives from the depo birth control shot. I got the shot on march 21st and a few days later starting seeing small red dots on my neck and back, a few days later it got worst and was all over my back mildly itchy, could be worst, my hands, arms, legs, chest, and now it's been about ten days, I got over the counter benedryl and cream what should I do? it looks worst every day | 256,940 | Hi,Thanks for the query.You once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for complete hemogram with coagulation profile.If any abnormality is detected in these factors, you have to get treated accordingly.After ruling out this possibility, if the doctor says it is just because of progesterone influence, you can go for symptomatic treatment.You can take supplements containing vitamin C, which will help in controlling the spots.Better to avoid using any medicines by your own without consulting the doctor.For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | Bleeding after IUD insertion, pain.

I've been on birth control for over eight months now a d take them perfectly. Although,my boyfriend and I started having sex last week. Almost a week ago the condom broke and he came inside me. Me, being stupid, I grabbed two birth control pills and swallowed them to be sure. The next day I accidentally took two pills. I know taking more than one pill is dangerous but I wasn't thinking. Anyway, I am on my 6th day of placebo pills and still haven't started my period. Is this because of e extra pills? Or a I pregnant this early? | 256,941 | Hello dear,The emergency birth control pills are considered effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse.These pills have high hormonal content.And since you have taken 4 pills accidentally, it can cause hormonal imbalance in the body, resulting in delay of periods.However, to relieve your apprehension, you can get a Pregnancy test done using a Pregnancy kit.In case of pregnancy, it will give positive result within one week.The reasons for delay in periods and spotting can be many such as hormonal imbalance(as already explained), anovulatory cycles, stress, any infection or pathology in the uterus, ovary, etc.So, if pregnancy test is negative & periods are further delayed, kindly consult a Gynecologist & get a proper clinical examination done.Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms.Wishing you a good health.Take care. | Suffer from hives after taking depo shot.

hi, i just have a quick question about Yaz birth control. So if I take the last two inactive pills not on time, one by 5 hours and the other by about 2 or 3 hours late and then take first active pill an hour and a half late... how long does it take to get back on track with the pills? and how many hours can you be late and not be at risk? thank you | 256,942 | Hi, Thanks for using HCM.Hi these pills contains hormones to maintain your normal cycle and hormone level. If you miss one day then have to take care using other precautions like condom. Once or twice delaying for 1 - 2 hours does not affect you. Last 4 pills are inert and no problem if any variation.

Hi, I have the implanon in arm for 2 years and keep experiencing excessive bleeding. It starts, lasts for 3 weeks at a time now for atleast seven months. I might break one day to a week and then it is back. I had something different this past 2 months. I had 2 week period and stopped 6-3 and last tues I had some bleeding and stopped before morning. Then yesterday, I started back up and not only this, it has this dead bad smell to it and extreme flow and clotting. I have also severe cramping especially left side, severe sleeping, depressed, and lack of energy. Is all this usual for anyone on implanom? | 256,943 | Hi,Thanks for the query.Implanon can present with menstrual irregularities.And usually they will get corrected in few months.But as you had excessive bleeding with clots, pain abdomen etc. better to consult gynecologist once and get examined to rule out the possibilities like ectopic pregnancy.You may need one ultrasound.If no abnormality is noted, then the bleeding could be due to hormonal effect only and you can take additional dose of hormones to control the bleeding.For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429Take care. | What will happen if the birth control pills are taken late than suggested? |

my last period started on 22 of feb and ended on 25th i had unprotected sex on 28th of feb after which i took an i- pill within two occurs of the same. today. i.e. on 22nd i m expecting my period but nothing, however yesterday i have spotted very little blood and it was the same thing today along with a little red lining but that was like hardly a few drops of blood. actually i had also consumed an i-pill in the month of January which made my period come 2 days earlier than the usual and a little bit of acne but nothing else. this there was a little acne again.. but I am really worried about being pregnant. i always use protection( condoms ) and have never let him cum inside me. it was just once when there wasn t one, still he pulled out i know not very reliable but I m a nervous wreck atm | 256,945 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Stress can cause the dates of your period change, they can come later or earlier than what is normal for you. An i-pill within two hours of the intercourse was a good move and it should reduce the chances of you getting pregnant significantly.Take a home pregnancy test and you'll have the answer you're looking for. Although it highly probable that your period is just late this month.I hope this answered your question. | How should I use trigestrel pill? |
Hello, I just went off birth control last month and my husband and I were having intercourse every other day for about a week and a half during what would have been around when I was ovulating. I am now on day 32 of my menstrual cycle and still have not gotten my period, but have taken many pregnancy tests and they all came back negative. I tracked my periods for the past five months where I was on and off birth control and my cycle was never longer than 26 days. I have not had any spotting or anything. Should I go to the doctor to get a blood test to confirm or deny if i am pregnant and could there be a possibility the pregnancy tests are giving me a false negative? I have never not gotten my period. | 256,946 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Stress can cause periods to start later than usual, even in women who have had regular periods for years. So that alone doesnt mean that you're pregnant. The fact that several home pregnancy tests have given a negative result points to the conclusion that you arent pregnant.Yes, a doctor's blood test is far more efficient than a home pregnancy test ad you can have one done, but I dont think you're pregnant.

I have been on alysena 28 for exactly a month now and I had been spotting for 2 weeks before I started the inactive pills. When I started them I had my normal period but for only 4 day which I usually have it for 8 days. After it stop I had more spotting show up a few days later. Is this normal for the birth control to cause this random on and off spotting? I have also been having unprotected sex so I don't know if that contributes to anything. I was having it before I went on birth control and I never got pregnant so I'm not sure if its just the hormonal changes going on due to the birth control | 256,948 | Hi,If you are young, it is possible to get a few irregular periods. It takes time for periods to become regular. If you are facing some sort of stress at home, this can also cause you to get late periods. Thus, what you can do is wait and see if the pills are causing problems. Also, some females have mid cycle bleeding. this is known as mittlschmerz reaction. This happens during ovulation. The ovulation then causes you to bleed every 16 days. thus you will have 24 "periods" per year instead of 12. I hope this helps you. If bleeding is getting severe, then do consult a gynecologist.Dr Vineet | Breastfeeding mom taking noriday. No periods. Should I be worried? |
I have had mirena coil fitted for over a year with no problems. No periods throughout and only minor, very light spotting every 4-6 weeks or so. Today I started bleeding heavily completely out of the blue. I have some discomfort (feeling of pressure in abdomen, slightly nauseous) but otherwise OK. Should I be worried about this? | 256,949 | Hi,Thanks for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.I would recommend you see a obs and gynae specialist as soon as possible, because heavy bleeding with a feeling of pressure in the abdomen is not a very good sign.Once they perform an ultrasound we can find out what is going on and treat you accordingly.I hope this answered your question. | Taking alysena.

I'm a 17 year old girl with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.I got my period last year, I used to take Duphaston to regulate it.I had sex yesterday for the first time and it was unprotected. I've been told I have low chances of being pregnant but I'm very worried. This seems dangerous and risky but would it be bad if I started taking Duphaston again? Take one pill a day like how I was prescribed so I can get my period? Or will that just increase my chances of being pregnant?And would it be alright to take the day-after-pill Nordette? | 256,950 | Hi,Thanks for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Duphaston is given to women with fertility issues, it is a synthetic hormone designed to replace the one your body isnt producing properly.Yes, if you start taking it you will get your period regularly and that increases your chances of getting pregnant. But that is better than having irregular periods and having intercourse when you didnt know it could get you pregnant.So keep using it and ask your boyfriend to use a condom.Yes, you can use nordette as a contraceptive pill, but I recommend you talk it over with your doctor once.I hope this answered your question. | Light spotting after mirena coil insertion.

Hello,I have just started the pill after not been on it for quite some years....within 3-4 days of taking the pill I bled for about 2 weeks none stop,I then had finished a pack and had to take my 7 day break....so I took my 7 day break and was having unprotected sex,within that 7 day break I never bled once and still arnt bleeding now....could I be pregnant,I have been feeling sick in the mornings but I put that down to me been anemic ?? | 256,951 | Hi,Thanks for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.60% of women have an egg ready to go on the last day of the break, which means that if you take the pill even a few hours late on that day, there is a chance of getting pregnant.As such question yourself did you take the pill at the right time? If not, well take a home pregnancy test in a couple of days. That should let you know what to expect.I hope this answered your question. | Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Take Duphaston.

HiI am a 31 year old female considering going on the contraceptive pill. I have most recently used the Merina coil which resulted in many negative side effects including acne on face and back (I had never has any skin issues before), serious lethargy, significant anxiety symptoms and massive fluid retention. Also raised prolactin levels. I have given my body a years break and would like to go on a low dose pill that will not aggravate my acne as it is still an ongoing (but now more minor issue) and not cause fluid retention/appetite increase. I have tried various pills in the past including cilest, microgynon, Mercilon and the contraceptive patch.I would be grateful for any advice you can offer. | 256,952 | Hi,Thanks for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.If contraceptive pills dont work for you, why not just calculate the days when you ovulate? These are the danger days when you can get pregnant.This is how you calculate it - count 14 days from your last period, the next 4 days after that are the danger day, i.e the days you are ovulating. So just to be on the safe side, for 7 days instead of the 4 I mentioned avoid intercourse and you should be okay.I hope this answered your question. | Taking birth control pills.

Hi I have been on mycrogynan 30 for a year and a half.

If you have intercourse before taking two pills, yes you can get pregnant.Contraceptives are an easy form of protection, but they only work if you take them regularly.As such I would say it is better to avoid intercourse until you're taking the pill regularly again, for at least two days in a row.I hope this answered your question. | Feeling dizziness, lightheadedness and swelling in the throat.

I've had paraguard for 3 years now and intercourse has always been painful since and I keep getting pain in lower abdomen. Why is this? Should I get it took out?

hiya .. i have an impanon in my arm which expired on the 12th of feb and now i am experiencing brown blood/discharge which has lasted for 6 days now .. it only leaves a bit in my pants but is mainly when i wipe. i have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend but when i did a test 2 days ago it came back negative .. is this just a symptom of my implanon? | 256,964 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Brown discharge on its own is nothing to worry about, it is a common thing which happens to a lot of women after intercourse. Another common reason for brownish discharge is that your endometrial lining didnt clear fully in your last period thats why the left over lining from your last period, is flowing out now. This reason is only valid if you are having your period right now.Anyway as far as I can tell there is nothing to worry about, unless you are feeling any other symptoms.I hope this answered your question. | Painful intercourse, pain in the lower abdomen.

Hi, I am a 21 year old who has been on nuvaring for around two years, and I love it. I use nuvaring continuously to only get my period every three months. A few days ago, I took the old nuvaring out and immedietely put a new one back in, and it has been in since then. However, tonight I have fairly heavy bleeding which I believe is my period. Why do I have my period with the nuvaring in? Is this okay? Should I leave nuvaring in? | 256,965 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.From what I can tell you arent using it right, you're supposed to keep it in for three weeks and then take it out for one week during your period.Nuvaring doesnt stop periods, it is merely a contraceptive method which is somewhat similar to how birth control pills work.As such, from now on, use it for three weeks, then pull it out for one week during your period and then once your period is over, place a new one.I hope this answered your question. | Brownish discharge after using expired implanon on arm.

hi doc i want to know if i can used duphaston pill as a contraceptive,coz now im 47 yrs old and i did have my menstruation for 7 months nand my obgyne has given duphaston,but i forgot to ask him if i can used it as birth control pill coz my husband and me are using withdrawal method,so i want to ask if we can stop withdrawal while ill be taking duphaston as a replacement to prevent for me to get pregnant | 256,966 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Duphaston is usually given for a number menstrual disorders and helps to regulate the healthy growth and normal shedding of the womb lining. As such it is not a contraceptive. It is a synthetic female sex hormone that resembles the naturally occurring sex hormone.So continue the withdrawal method, if you dont want to get pregnant, you can also try condoms.I hope this answered your question. | Using Nuvaring.

Hi i am using the contraceptive pill cerazette. I forgot to take it on sunday night the 17th march at half 10 an never took it until the following monday morning at half 11 (after the 12 hours) that monday night i had unprotected sex. I went and got the morning after pill (ellaone) on the friday morning 22nd march, 88hrs after the unprotected sex. The woman told me to do a pregnancy test 3 weeks after, iv taken one today the 3rd april and it appears negative. Is it too early to tell? Can cerazette affect the result and also can this pill give pregnancy like symptoms?ThanksHannah | 256,967 | Hi Hannah,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.Usually you're supposed to take two pill in order to make up for the missed one, that's what I've been told by most doctors. The smart thing you did was taking the emergency pill on the next day,ellaone can be taken upto 5 days after having unprotected sex, so since you were just over the 3rd day, it should've worked.Now what you need to know is that ellaone had been shown to stop 60% of all cases, so its not 100%.But since you're home pregnancy test has come out negative after waiting for 3 weeks, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant, to be 100% sure, you can take another home pregnancy test tomorrow.I hope this answered your question. | Can I use duphaston pills as contraceptive? |

So check when your last period was, add 14 days to that, the 4 days after that are the ones when you ovulate. As such these are the danger days when you can get pregnant, so avoid having sex around this time. You can also try using condoms or contraceptive pills.I hope this answered your question. | Using cerazette. Missed pill. Had unprotected sex. Pregnant? |
hiee.. My date was of 1st... I had an intercourse in the same week after my chums got over. I took an i pill.. I got my chums again on 20th of the same month. Now i dont understand which date should i calculate.

Should i take d risk of having an i pill again.. I know its too risky and i dont wana have it.. Or ahould i wait for my chums for 20th.. Also i am feeling giddy may be its jus my thinking.. Please help. Awaiting your response | 256,969 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.I pill doesnt stay in your system for a week, its already gone, as such I recommend you go to your doctor and ask him to prescribe you some ulipristal acetate, it is an emergency contraceptive pill that works upto 5 days after having unprotected sex.I recommend you start using contraceptive pills, that way you wont have to worry like this. Also your period can be earlier and later than usual depending on how stressed you are, so that can explain why yours is early this month.I hope this answered your question. | Have pain in legs and hip after sex.

Hi, I am currently taking birth control pills ( MARVELON 28) and I have gained weight, I was planning to take PRESCOPODENE and CLEAR CLEANSE PRO to manage my weight gain and to lose the extra weight I have gained. Would this diet pills decrease the effectiveness of my birth control pill? I hope you could answer my question. Thanks. | 256,970 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.You could try quitting the contraceptive pills and instead calculating the days on which you ovulate, as contraceptive pills tend to cause weight gain I think its a good solution for you.This is how to calculate your ovulating days-Count 14 days from your last period, the 4 days after that are the ones when you ovulate, which means the days you can get pregnant, so during that time dont have unprotected sex or avoid sex if possible. In order to avoid mistakes, you could make it 7 days instead of 4.I hope this answered your question. | Had unprotected sex. Took a i-pill after which got my periods.

Hi I finished my last pill on the 27th of January and was due on Thursday 31st of January but I got a little cramping feeling along with brown spotting lasting only 3days, feel a bit bloated in my belly and breast feel a little sore I ve done 4 pregnancy test but have all came up negative but the 2nd one had a very very faint line but the rest have said negative. Could I be pregnant? | 256,971 | dear user. welcome to healthcare magic.the blood test is much more sensitive than the home urine test. So the first thing to do in your case is to have a quantitative hcg test in you blood.if the test is negative consider this as an abnormal event that happened due to any reason (stress for an example), and wait for the next cycle. if the test is positive, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible to identify the cause of bleeding and to exclude ectopic pregnancy.Although pregnancy is a remote possibility but it should be excluded.I hope these words were useful to you.good luck.dr.

I have Been on the depo since February of this year. I use to be on it last year in march was my last shot. I received it again in the beginning of may I also had unprotected sex that same day then five days after ever since I had sex a week later I was nauseous had headaches, back pain I don't get a period so I don't know if I'm pregnant | 256,972 | Hi and thank you so much for this query. I a so sorry to hear about this troubling thought of possible pregnancy going through your mind right now.Deprovera, like every other contraceptive is not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. Having unprotected sex on the same day after receiving this drug when it has not had the chance to start working effectively further reduces the chances of it doing a great job. Considering all of this and the above symptoms, I will suggest that you stay at least 2weeks fro the day of last intercourse and get a pregnancy test done. This will tell whether you are pregnant or not.Please, Depo may prevent against pregnancy but not diseases, always consider to use a protection during intercourse to avoid contracting STDs. I hope this answers your query fully.

Hi, I usually take my contraceptive pill at 12:15pm daily and have been doing so for the last 3 months. Yesterday I forgot to take my pill, which was the 13th active pill, and had sex about 13 hours later. Halfway through I realised I hadn't taken the pill and made my boyfriend stop and took the missed pill immediately. He did not ejaculate at all during intercourse and we stopped completely after I realised I had forgotten the pill. Today I took my pill at the regular time. Should I be worried? And should I take the morning after pill seeing as it has been 17 hours since intercourse? | 256,974 | Hi,Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my ability.Since you did remember to take the pill on the same day, you're okay. You can continue taking the pill as you did earlier starting tomorrow. By the way good call to stop having intercourse, I recommend you dont have intercourse tomorrow either, wait till you are back to your normal cycle of 12:15 pm each day. Which means you can only have intercourse the day after tomorrow, sorry about that. But isnt it better to be safe than sorry?I hope this answered your question. | Had unprotected sex, missed some Cerazette pills, have pregnancy symptoms. What does it mean ? |

Hi there,I began taking Errin birth control and am about halfway through my first pack. Yesterday morning I woke up late and realized that I didn't wake up to my alarm to take it. I took it as soon as I realized it just like the directions said to. This morning I woke up and took my regaular pill at the normal time and I then realized that I had woken up yesterday and took a pill but it was a Wednesday pill from two weeks from now. I had taken two pills in one day and now have a missing pill. What should I do? | 256,978 | Hi, thanks for the query.Taking two pills in a day will not affect the efficacy of pills and you will be equally protected. If you have taken a missed pill within 3 hrs of due time, it will not change anything. But if it was after more than 3 hrs, then you should use backup method(condom) for next 48 hrs.As you have one less pill now, your pack will end a day earlier.

Hi, I don't know if I'm actually talking to a real doctor but I have an urgent question. I have been on my birthcontrol (Tri-Sprintec) for about two weeks now. I previously had been on it for a couple years but just recently started using it again. Through the two years I had never gotten pregnant...even though My partner and I never used any other kind of protection besides the birth controI. I had unprotected sex about twelve hours ago and have heard that you can take 2-5 birth control pills to be used as an emergency contraceptive. I'm wondering if this is true, how many pills of the tri-sprintec should I take?Thank you, I hope to hear back from you soon.-AAAAA | 256,986 | Hello Sky and welcome to HCM.Thank you for your query.Tri-sprintec is a birth control pill that has to be taken as advised by your doctor, not more, and not less.The usual instructions include taking it on the first day of your period, and then taking one pill a day. The 28 day pack contains 7 pills which are called the reminder pills, while you are on these you will experience your period.Please do not take any extra pills, one pill a day is more than enough to prevent a pregnancy. As you have already been on the pill since 2 weeks, and hopefully initiated it on the day your doctor has asked you to, and provided you have not missed a dose, then there is usually no requirement for you to have any other pills or extra pills.At times, we do advise one extra method of contraception, like the use of condoms, as there is a 2-3 % chance of failure of this form of contraception. As you have been on the pill, and provided you have taken it the day you had unprotected intercourse, you need not take any extra pills. So please, rest assured. The one pill a day course, is more than sufficient.I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-shoaib-khan/64581 .

Hi, I was on birth control pill for a few months. I was taken off that for two weeks due to an injury that caused worries about blood clots. They switched me to the depo shot two weeks after I had been off the birth control. I started a period the week before I got the shot, and have been sexually active. I have yet to have a period since the switch. I have not been feeling good either due to stress, a bug, or I am concerned I am pregnant. Is there a high likelihood that I could be pregnant? I took one test 3 days ago, it was negative. I am just concerned. | 256,991 | HelloThanks for your query.There is a low probability of pregnancy as you are on the Depo.The symptoms could be due to the stress as you rightly guessed.If you DO miss a period, take a pregnancy test.All the best. | Taking Cilest, have breakthrough bleeding.

Hello. I have gotten the Paragard. I'm curious about its effectiveness over time. I read that there is a .08% chance of becoming pregnant the first year of use. Does the risk of becoming pregnant increase each year? If so, by how much? I know that they say it's safe for 10 years, that's not my question. Thank you for your help. | 256,992 | HelloThanks for your query.the efficacy of Paragard is 99. 5 % and it is effective upto 10 years.So there is no question of reducing efficacy each year.Studies only mention the failure rate in the first year of typical use.Take care. | Taken Depo shot.

i have fitted merina hormonal coil in jan 2011 but i never feel the coil and initially had periods twice a months, then slowly turns to a very lightre periods but i am feeling very feverish a week before my every monthly periods. since I have inserted merina coil I have big tummy and swings moods. I decided to remove the coil as i feel may be it is not suitable to my body, but i was surprised when the head nurse at Gp surgery told me today she cant fint the string and that why she arrange a scan for me in the hospital. my question is these days i have periods like sympoms but its just spotting/very lighter. the nurse told me may be the coil drop in the toilet, but how is it possible if there is no coil and I am not pregnant as I cant assume I had sex only in the safe nights or days. so if i am not feeling sick or spotting every month, what are the chances of pregnancy | 256,993 | HelloThanks for your query.It is not necessary to get pregnant everytime with unprotected sex.So even in the coil fell out, getting pregnant is not the norm.Secondly the coil might just have moved upwards in the uterine cavity, and that is why the string might not be visible or palpable.If you are not having irregular periods or symptoms, chances of pregnancy are very low.Only a scan will tell you if the coil is actually in position.take care. | Want to know about effectiveness of Paragard over time.

i have been on the depo provera shot going on 6 years now. i have not had a menstrual cycle in almost 6 years due to the shot so i do not have "period" symptoms. here lately, i have been feeling a bit "un" normal, like, being extremely irritable over nothing, overly tired for no certain reasons, having cravings for foods that i would not normally eat, using the bathroom (#1) more that i usually would, and so on...i go in 2 days to get my next depo shot, should i have a pregnancy test done then or should i have them schedule a blood test from where i do not have menstrual cycles? | 256,997 | Hi, Thanks for writing to us. The chances of pregnancy in your case are very rare because you are on depot shot regularly but no protection is 100% effective.

Hi I have a mirena fitted 9 months ago, for constant heavy periods. It hadn't made any difference. I had a previous one for 6 years which worked like magic and I was period free for most of those 6 years. Now I have been prescribed northisterone which I have been taking for two months, with a break in between as I am waiting for an ultrasound to check if the mirena is ok, as its not helped as before. The problem us, I've started cramping and bleeding while taking northisterone! Will it stop? I also have transexamic acid to take, will this help stop the bleeding. I don't want the ultrasound cancelled because of the bleeding and I'm sick of this bleeding more than not. Can you advise please? Mandy | 256,999 | Thanks for using HCMYes tranexamic acid do help to reduce bleeding. Continue to take those medication as your doctors prescription.Though you are bleeding ultrasound can be done, not a problem.As you had responded well in previous mirena, this time also we expect a good response. Better to rule out other endometrial problems. Consult your gynaecologist for further evaluation.Have a good healthRegardsDr. Vidya | Missing periods after IUD insertion.
