i am on Angelique for two weeks and has a family history of breast cancer. Is it safe to use it as i also had hepatitis A in 2014. But my liver is more than okay now. ## Any type of hormonal supplementation could increase your risk of cancer, including breast cancer, according to the NIH. Why was it prescribed? Are you on any other medications? Its other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms.

Hi, I have used the oralcon pills for a month (21 days) and went off the white pills before I could get my menstruation cycle and now I feel like I am pregnant......is that possible? ## HI, Gertrude! Have you done a pregnancy test? If you went off of them and had intercourse after that, when you weren't taking them, then yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. They will only protect you from pregnancy as long as you are taking the active tablets. ## hi,have been on the pill for a full week now...so i want to know how it works,,i missed the white one but remembered 2 hrs later...am i at risk? ## nagtake ako ng althea not on the day of my mens. during the 5th day of taking it, i had intercourse with my bf,, is it possible that i could get pregnant? after naubos ko yung pills,, 7...

Last night I took my last dose of metazol for BV and since Sunday I have been bleeding like I am on my period (5 days of bleeding) which is only due tomorrow (on Yaz). The doctor did tell me that the antibiotic would throw out my pill but is this normal? Prior to this I was spotting for 4 days as a result of the infection. I assume that the infection has cleared because there is no longer a foul odor or discharge. ## Hello, Seraphina! How are you? When you have your period while on oral contraceptives, it is due to a withdrawal of the hormones that they contain, thus, when an antibiotic affects the amount of the hormones that you absorb, it basically causes the same thing, a withdrawal bleed. So yes, it is normal. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you so much for replying...

My birth control expired December18 2016 I still have it in my arm I wanted to know is it possible that I can be pregnant, my breast are very tender also milk very easy to come out I keep feeling light head more of a feeling like I'm about to pass out early mornings I feel so sick I was just curious because of my exasperation date over due could I be pregnant? ## Yes, if it has expired and you've been engaging in intercourse, there is a risk of pregnancy. However, as reported by the FDA, these symptoms could also be caused due the changes in hormones that are occurring in your body due to this expiration. However, given the milk leakage, it would be best to have yourself checked out by your doctor to be sure. Are you on any other medications? ## Helllo im 20 and im trying to con...

I took plan b on the 7th and for a whole week I experienced extreme nausea and was really light headed, feeling pressure. The following week the nausea went away but I still have pressure headaches, dizziness and chest pains as well. I got my period a few days ago and it was really heavy. Took a pregnancy test. Not sick. No heart problems. Could this still be from the plan b? Someone said it could be hormonal... ## It might be, those can be hormonal symptoms, as reported by the FDA. However, anytime you have chest pain, you should seek medical attention to be sure, for your own safety, since there are other issues that might cause that, such as a blood clot, or heart attack. Even though you don't have any prior heart problems, hormones can cause them, in some people. Are you on any ...

Hi mga mommies! Nagkamali ng kuha ng pill last saturday. Nabuksan ko yung last pill na dapat ika-1st saturday ang i-take ko. Nalito po kasi ako, akala ko it was the first saturday. Yun po pala e umikot na yung arrow. So ang na-take ko po ay yung yung pang-last saturday. May iba iba po bang epekto per pill? Masama mo ba yong nainom ko yung pinaka-last na pill? After ko po mainom nung last pill, nag-continue pa rin. Kaya yung dapat na last saturday na pill, ang iinumin ko po ay yung pang 1st saturday na pill. Nalito kasi sa arrow? Btw, I am using daphne. ## panu po inumin ?san po banda mag uumpisa kasi walang no..ee

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and a little dripped down so we thought I'd be ok, then the next week I wanted to skip my period for the month which would have occurred the next week. On the last day that I would have had my period I bled even though I was already a week into the new pack.. could this be a result of skipping my period for the first time on birth control or is it implantation bleeding and I'm pregnant? ## First time taking lo lestrogen, not first time On BC. I've taken BC for five years give or take. I got my period the first week of the pill and then again near the end of the second week. Yet I got no period in the last week for the brown pills. Not even spotting. I missed one pill but took it the next day. I have been sexually active. Can this mean ...

So approx. 3 years ago I applied for disability. I was out of work on fmla for approx 15 days a month and it was taking a hard hit on my financial state since fmla days aren't paid. My dr said his advice was to apply for disability. This entire process was long and exhausting as some of you know. I had rotator cuff tendonitis, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, radiculopathy in my c5 & c6 disk in my neck, Iliotibial band syndrome in my right leg, depression and severe anxiety. All 5 of my doctors (ortho, pain mgmt, rheumatology, pcp, pshyc) stated in my files and paperwork they provided to the state that I qualify. HOWEVER, here's the kicker, the state then decided to send me to a few of their own doctors who seen me for approx. 15 minutes and don't know me or my ca...

birth control ## How do I take Loestrin24 fe? ## Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, if they did not provide you with enough details, then please speak with your pharmacist. ## how long does it take for loestrin24fe to work, like how long do I have to wait before I can safely have intercourse? ## Generally, you should finish the entire first cycle, before enough is in your system to adequately protect against pregnancy, once you reach the end of the pill pack, where you on the period week pills, then you are fully protected, but be careful not to miss any. One white tablet should be taken daily for 24 consecutive days followed by one brown tablet daily for 4 consecutive days. Withdrawal bleeding should usually occur within three days following discontinuation of white tablets ...

I started taking minastrin 24 few about 6 months ago. I spotted irregularly for the first 2 months but I have had no period since. I've been without a period for 4 months. I even take the four inactive pills and still don't start. I thought the inactive pills were for " period time ". Am I wrong? I hope nothing is wrong. ## Hello, Jenna! How are you? Unless your doctor feels there is some reason to be concerned, it's most likely nothing. Some women just don't experience periods, when taking hormonal contraceptives. Side effects may include irregular cycles, nausea, dizziness, headache, bloating, weight gain and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My ob/gyn is never concerned with anything. He just blows me off when I want to ask him a questio...

Hi. I'm 17. My boyfriend and I did it last January 2 and he came inside me. I can't clearly remember when was my last period but based from my boyfriend's story, he told me that nagkaroon ako noong Dec. 17. So I calculated that maybe, my last period was Dec. 19 or 20. At kung titingnan, it is my 13th or 14th day since my last period so I think that it is safe. But then I still took 10 pcs of 500mg of Vitamin C the day after we had the intercourse and then I learned about Nordette on the 2nd day after we did it. So basically, I took 4 pills yesterday and 4 pills last night. Will Nordette still work even if I took Vitamin C? And how will I know if it worked? Please answer. Thank you

I started Krimson-R35 on the 6th day of getting my periods. Yesterday I forgot to take a pill. Is it ok for me to continue my normal dosing regimen or not? ## If you missed a pill during your period week, there is nothing to worry, you can just continue your regular dosing regimen, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting, and irritability.

I forgot my Angeliq at home when going on holiday and skipped 4 days. I have started taking it again, but am experiencing head aches and bodily pain. Is this normal? ## Yes, that can happen, when you suddenly stop taking it, you may also experience dizziness, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms, according to the NIH. They should go away, after about a week, or so, of taking it, again. Are you on any other medications?

I've been on them for about four years, with no known side effects. However, my doctor told me to stop them now. I sometimes take one, every other day. He said to do this for a month, then quit altogether. Sometimes I'm skipping two days. This is my second week. I'm bleeding off and on. I've had a recurring headache for about three days and now nausea. I can't tell if I have a bug or if it's side effects. Certain smells are making my nausea worse, sort of like morning sickness felt many years ago. I'll be 64 in four months. ## It could be due to withdrawal effects from tapering down off of it, hormonal medications are well known to cause such issues, according to the NIH. However, given the bleeding at your age, you should have it checked out to be sure. Are ...
