Birth Control / Contraceptive Forums (Page 13)

Tri-sprintec pack of birth control pills my daughter just started this month. She got to the 4th row of white pills and stopped taking the pills. I think she thinks they are sugar pills. What is in the 4th row, should she take the 7 days of white ones? She only missed 2. TX! ## Yes, they are essentially sugar pills. She should take them just as a reminder tho; she may remember this time, but over the months/years one could forget... ## That is correct, they are placebo pills that are meant to keep her in the habit of taking them. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking Tri-sprintec for a year now. For the past view months I have been getting anywhere from mild to severe headaches with neausia. They do effect my everyday life. They make me really sensitive to light and move ment. Does anyone else have this as a result of the pill? ## I have been experiencing the same side effects. I don't feel well at all. I couldn't figure out why I was feeling this way. I think it is because of this medication. ## That can be a typical side effect of oral contraceptives, including this one, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, irregular bleeding, weight changes, and mood changes. You might want to consult with your doctor about trying a different oral contraceptive, since this might not be the best one...

Hey! I started this last month on 4/25 and the first week was miserable. I take it in the morning with Zoloft. I had really bad nausea either early in the morning or an hour after I take my pill. I don't usually eat in the morning so maybe that could be the reason why I have felt so awful. I have puked on a bus last month about a day after starting the pill. I finally finished my first pack and I just started a new pack. This time the nausea is worse and I can't stop puking. Especially after trying to eat. I wonder if I just need to eat with the pill, start taking it at night or just stop it all together. I just feel so bad and I want to continue taking it, but if it's going to make me feel like this for a while I'd rather just stop than continue to be nauseous. ## That ...

Hello. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex last March 31. Fearing pregnancy, I took Nordette as an emergency contraceptive at 6pm on April 1st. I can't seem to remember when but I had a withdrawal bleeding on the month of April for 5 days. The following month, May, I had my period from May 24-28th. But then my menstruation skipped June. Now, it is currently July 21st and I still haven't had my period. Should I be worried? My mom's been bugging me to see a doctor but I'm afraid she might find out that I took pills. Help please :( ## Where did you fill your prescription for nordette? Is it still available in mercury or through Watson? Please help me. ## I bought mine at the mercury drug last March, I don't know if it's still available right now.. ## We have a sa...

My daughter who was naturally a funny, happy adventurous person her whole life became severely depressed and had suicidal thoughts from the very beginning of her use of IMPLANON. Anxiety and panic attacks, non-stop bleeding, Even hallucinating towards the end. It was so bad, she was house bound the last few months of her life. She took her life during one of her severe bouts of severe depression. She had this implanted in her body for 2 years. Could not find a doctor to remove it, even planned parenthood to her sorry, not our problem. UNBELIEVABLE. What do these pharmaceutical companies think women are for? Do we not have any more worth then their test monkeys or guinea pigs that they can just stick something in our bodies without concern as to what it does to our mind not to mention on...

I have been on jadelle for more than a year and breastfeeding my baby.i had no complications then but my menstrual period stopped because i was breastfeeding.myproblem started when i stopped breastfeeding im experiencing light bleeding for almost a months now is this going to stop or should i remove it. ## That's exactly what's happening to me ,so l went to a clinic and they told me to take control pills for 21 days and the bleeding stopped , but after the 21days l stopped taking the pills and started bleeding again ## It is very hard to say, since irregular bleeding can be a normal side effect of Jadelle, according to FDA reports. You may also experience dizziness, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. Sad, are you still taking an oral contraceptive, or did you stop, at t...

So, in the next few months my Nexplanon will be expiring and I plan to get a new one put in since it worked really well for me. I am a little uneasy though since, when inserting it the first time, the local anesthetic apparently didn't work and I felt everything. I powered through it, but it did hurt. I am far more worried about the removal process since I know they have to make an incision and fish the old one out (and of course I put on like 10lbs so there is fat that has grown around it) and I am pretty unsure about it. I mean, I know it has to come out and I plan to talk to my doctor about it, but I am curious if anyone else has anyone else run into this problem and if anyone has been able to work around it. I suppose if all else fails I can bring in a leather strap to bite down...

soooo i have had the jadelle for two and a half years now. im not to sure how it works really! um my period hasnt come for like almost 3months now i look like i am pregnant. i thought it was the jadelle koze it says that you gain weight while on it, I feel tiered all the time idk? what happens to the baby if you are pregnant and you have the jadelle??? last question: do you get pregnant and then the jadelle kills the baby, how does it work?? ## I am so very sorry that this was not properly explained to you. No, it does not kill the baby, it prevents you from becoming pregnant to begin with, so there is never a baby (fetus) to worry about. Basically, while using it, you do not drop an egg, so fertilization cannot occur. Weight gain and irregular periods can be a normal side effect it, ac...

It really get scary this pain but i dont have medical aid and i am too scared to go to a state hospital.. Im 23 years old... Please help ## This medication contains Propranolol, which is used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, increased urination, dizziness, and hypotension. However, you really need to see a doctor to be sure what is causing your chest pains. That is the only way to know what is safe for you to take. Are you on any other medications? Have you been diagnosed with any medical conditions? How old are you?

I have a family function next month..but the date which is selected for our family function is time of my periods..that is why i want to know a name of tablet for early period.. ## I have family function on my period date so i want that my period to be done early plz help me ## Hello, I'm not familiar with all brands of hormonal contraceptives, but unless there are certain medical reasons that may make it unsafe for you to alter the timing of your cycle, it is generally okay to do so. As long as it's fine with your doctor, what you would do is simply skip over the placebo pills (that come with your hormonal contraceptive). Taking these inactive tablets would normally induce your menstrual cycle by causing breakthrough bleeding. So my understanding is if you change the date that ...

I am on jadelle for 4yrs now and have been having my period but last yr in October was the last time I saw my period. I keep feeling sick at a certain time of the day. I'm also putting on weight. I took a test and it says I'm not pregnant but where is my period n y do I feel this way? I'm supposed to get it removed in August this yr. That will make 5yrs I have it in. ## Hello, Shana! How are you? This is a hormonal contraceptive, so it can cause you to skip your period, according to the U.S. FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms. There isn't much of a risk of pregnancy, since it is still active. Have you consulted your doctor? ## Can I get pregnant two days later after my jadelle implant is removed? And how long does it take to g...

My boyfriend is coming back from college and he is only going to be in town for the weekend. I started my white pills this past Sunday but want to be done with my period by Friday night or early Saturday. This is my first month taking it so I'm not sure how my body gonna work with it yet. My periods are usually a full 7 days. Do periods tend to be shorter when on sprintec? If not can I start my blue pills on Thursday or Friday to make my period end sooner? ## For the first few months on birth control, your menstrual cycle is actually usually longer than your normal cycle, because your body has to adjust to the hormones. Sometimes, it is even skipped altogether, which may happen if you are lucky. However, once you have started the inactive tablets and not taken the active ones for a ...
