Hi, Iam 21 yrs old. I have a problem of continuous bleeding for more than 7 days. Doctor suggested me to use Diane 35.I used it for 3 months and the problem was solved. After 4 years I am suffering from same problem. I could not get Diane 35, but I could got Krimson 35.I would like to know the difference between both and side effects of Krimson 35. ## Hello, Sarayu! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. It is just another hormone based oral contraceptive, so it works the same as the other. However, you should consult your doctor, before starting it. They need to check into your problem to see what's causing it. Have you contacted your doctor, yet? ## My girlfriend is on Diane 35 for irregular periods. Is there any chance of pregnancy if we're intimately ac...

I missed one day of taking my Ovuloc ld tablet. I am taking each tablet daily at night around 10pm. Yesterday night is when I missed taking a tablet and today at 2 pm I remembered that I was supposed to take it. So what should I do now? Can I take this tablet or not?

Hello I really need your help. I just have jadelle on December last year till today and I have period on January and on February till this month I didn't have my periods. Is this ok or am I pregnant? ## Skipping your period while using some form of hormonal contraceptive can be normal, according to the side effects listed by the NIH, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms. However, the only way to know whether or not you are pregnant is by having yourself checked for it to be sure. Are you on any other medications? ## I have been on jadelle since 2015. But last month I had intercourse and since then have not had my period. Am I pregnant or not? Please help me. I have strong back pains. Is it due to being pregnant? ## I have been on jadelle since 2...

My cycle started and it's been 6 days. Tomorrow I will start the sugar pills, can I skip that and start a new pack? Will that stop my cycle? I didn't want to take the sugar pills, I thought that would keep my cycle longer? I have been on for 3 months and this is my first cycle. It skipped 2 periods. What should I do! Please help!!! ## It can be normal to experience irregular cycles for the first 3 months, or so, of taking an oral contraceptive, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, mood changes, headache, and weight changes. Skipping the period week could also cause more irregularities, according to NIH studies. The best thing to do would be to take them, as prescribed, and allow your cycles to occur, as they should, for several months. How are you...

having a procedure on cervix in 7 days doctor prescribed norimin-1 does anyone know if its going to stop my period which is to happen in 3 to 5 days thanks ## Hi terry, Unfortunately there's really no way of knowing for sure how this or any drug is going to affect you before you actually take it. Doctors can only assume that it may work based on your medical records, current health, and other individual factors. Norimin tablets are a type of hormonal contraception (birth control), and as a side effect it can cause irregular or skipped periods (due to a fluctuation of hormones); however this is not the primary indication of the drug itself. Because of that, it is my understanding that there's no way to tell exactly when side effects might happen. Anyone else have thoughts on this...

Found a very small white round pill, scored line on one side and U on the other. Can't seem to find what it is, any help? ## How small is it? Can you post back and try to give a better idea? Is it about the size of an birth control pill? If so, that's very well what it may be. They tend to get away with more obscure imprints and some even get away with not having any, since they are so tiny. Learn more oral contraceptive details here. ## I doubt that's what it is bc I found them in my shop that has mostly guys. It's only about a 1/4 inch wide, still can't find what it is ## I also have some of these and find it strange that I can't find it ( pics or otherwise) online via ?? identifier , etc.

Hi. I've been using nurstrate for 8 months now, yet haven't been having my periods since July. They lasted for 2 weeks then stopped. I'm so stressed and don't know what to do. I went to the clinic and they gave me oralcon tablets, so I used the first pack only (white ones) then stopped cause my periods stopped, but now they are back. What should I do? ## It can be normal to experience irregular periods, when using Nustrate, since it is a hormonal contraceptive, the NIH does list that as being a normal side effect. It is most likely that the Oralcon was intended to help you regulate them more, so you shouldn't have stopped taking it. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and weight changes. Have you con...

Its a small white searle pill written searle on the other side and on the other its written one (1) igot it from the pharmacy when I asked them for a morning after pill. They gave me four pills n said ishould take two and the other two after twelve hours (12hrs). ## Was there any labeling or other information provided with them? Learn more emergency contraception details here. I'm guessing that they are most likely some type of emergency hormonal contraceptive and if you have to take several doses, then it's probably the combined ones, but I can't find it listed in the databases I checked. Have you tried asking at the pharmacy you purchased them? They should be able to tell you more. Have you already taken them? ## Hi, I'm 4weeks pregnant and my doctor gave me 4pieces of...

I want to know more about it ## I LOVE Yasmin. I have been taking it for a long time. I have tried other BCP, but none work as well for me as this one. My gyno has me taking them continuously and I stop every 3 months and have a cycle, so I have a period 4 times a year which is WONDERFUL. I bloat a little bit, just when I stop to have it and also cramp, but its only 4 times a year! Hope this helps! ## Why do I have spotting after taking Yasmin pills? I'm not finished with my one pack of Yasmin yet and I'm so worried... I have 3 tablets of Yasmin left. I'm not pregnant so please give me advice.

Hello, i an 18 year old and I was just prescribed Tri Sprintec to regulate my irregular periods. I have Hypothyroidism and Anemia (from prolonged heavy bleeding) I'm taking 88mg of Levothryoxine. My most recent period lasted for 31 days. I recently started my period again on Thursday and it is now Tuesday. When should I start taking my pills if I still have my period right now (it is light and the flow stops and starts randomly). My main reason for asked this is because in exactly 28 days I will be going on a 5 day camping trip and I don't want to have my period then. If I start my first pill today, will I have my period during my camping trip? Thank you! ## These tablets can be started at any time during your cycle, you just need to be aware that will not prevent pregnancy, unt...

Can dronis 30 cause hair loss? I took the medicine for 3 months (march, april, may of 2012) for irregular periods. Please give me a solution. I'm 25 years old. ## No, it's a hormonal contraceptive, but it really shouldn't cause hair loss. Learn more oral contraceptive details here. How severe is the hair loss? Are you taking any other medications? ## Hi. I am 22 yrs old and am taking dronis 20 everyday. I started 2 months ago and plan on continuing, but I am always having stomach cramps on my right side (upper portion) and always feel bloated. Is it gas or any other issues, or is it a side effect, or is there a possibility that I am pregnant? I am not taking any other medicine. Will there be any issue for me or my baby if I am pregnant?

I am taking sprintec for migraine prevention, not birth control. I typically take 3 months of active pills beck taking a week off to have a period. I missed 3 days in a row during my second pack of active pills. I tried to catch up by taking two a day, but it was too late and a full blown period started. So i stopped taking them in the hopes of letting the period run its course. It has been 5 days of (very) heavy bleeding now, with clots. I have stopped the pill for 3 days now. When should I restart, or should i see if bleeding stops? ## It really would have been best, according to FDA directions, to have continued taking them, this can happen if you miss to many in a row, but should resolve itself, once you complete your next cycle. Other side effects are listed as possibly including n...

I use sprintec because I am trying to get pregnant. I take it along with prenatal vitamins and b12. I started sprintec on the last day of my period which was November 17th. I took the pills every other day and I started spotting on November 24th. By November 29th the bleeding got heavier. Someone help me understand. I only took like 8 pills in total. ## Hello, Alexandra! How are you doing? Has there been any change? I have a couple of other questions for you. Why did you start it on the last day of your period? FDA directions state that it should be started the first, or second day of your period. My next question is why were you taking them every other day? The directions also state that they need to be taken every day, as close to 24 hours apart, as possible. Missing tablets, and taki...

I started my first pack of tri-sprintec on 6/22, as per my doctor. Apparently it went against my natural cycle, as my period came as scheduled on 6/26 and lasted until 7/2 (a bit longer than normal). I have continued to take the pills as prescribed and understand that my body needs to adjust to the hormones, but should I expect another period to come when I start the white pills (on 7/13)? I know that ultimately, I will end up there since that is the point, as they are the inactives, I just want to be prepared. Thank you! ## Hello, Elizabeth! How are you? It is normal to experience irregular bleeding for the first 3 months, or so, while your body adjusts to the hormones. The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and weight changes. And yes, you w...

I went to the clinic a week after my periods an I had the 1st injection (nur-istrate) after a week I experienced some meat coming out every morning when I pee, so I went back to the clinic hey told me that its some membrains .I couldn't believe it .what they did is,they never checked me before when they were injecting me ,they neglected that ,was I pregnant and would it impact on me falling preg again? ## No, it is normal to expel some tissue, along with irregular bleeding, according to NIH studies. I've experienced it myself, as have most other women, who experience a period. You don't just bleed, you also expel broken down tissue from the walls of your uterus. If you become pregnant, this tissue helps sustain the health of the baby by providing nourishment. And no, this wi...

I stopped taking my birth control sprintec after a week due to health issues but it has been three weeks since the last pill and still no period. I am four days late from my regular period and I was wondering when it should start. I did take a pregnancy test 2 days before my period should have started and it was negative. ## Hello, Stacey! How are you? Even though you only took it for a week, you likely threw off your natural hormonal balance, so it will probably take awhile, before things balance back out and return to normal. Other effects of stopping it may also include headache, weight changes, mood swings and irregular periods, as listed by the FDA. If there is no change, after a few more weeks, you should consult your doctor to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Y...
