I've never missed a pill & take them within a few hrs diff a day every so often when it has slipped my mind. ( have a phn reminder now). Anyway, I've never had a bc where I've missed a period.

I mean, it's kinda nice not really hvn a period this month but should I be concerned? Also, does anyone hv to pee a lot on this? I mean fo...

I missed one white pill. So I took it at the same time I took my other white pill. Was that right? ## Hello, Miy! How are you? You should take it as soon as you remember and, if you don't remember until it's time to take your next one, then take them both at the same time. But please remember, every missed pill increases your risk of pregnancy. Is there anything else I can help with? ## So I'm in my first week of my pill packet. I've been taking the pill for a couple months now, straight. I haven't missed a day. Today I accidentally took a white pill instead of one of my blue ones. I always take it in the morning and it was dark, I was still half asleep and wasn't looking at what I was doing.... Lesson learned. But anyway, I just noticed my screw up tonight and t...

I started taking birth control this month. My dog got hold of my pill pack and now 2 of my active pills are somewhere in the garden. Should I extend the placebo period for 2 more days so 7 days instead of 5. Or take a new pack right a way and have no placebo period till the next pack is finished ?

I will be highley obeliged to you ## We used G-Monster Saturday night; I used one serving and so did my girlfriend. My girlfriend got totally different effects from the product than I did.

I just inserted the jadelle a week ago. A pregnancy test was carried out which turned out negative before the implant. I'm also due for my period n I have not gotten it, so I did a pregnancy test a week after the implant n it turned out positive. Can jadelle mess with pregnancy test results?

I started sprintec a weak before my period was due..only because that was the day my doctor prescribed them to me. I didn't wait...so now I'm 9 days late from having my period and have been having unprotected sex. And before I started sprintec I been having normal peroids...like scheduled clockwork it comes when it's supposed to. I don't know if not having a period like that soon on the OC is normal...help

I started my new pack and only took three pills. Because I missed so many I just decided to stop it all together. Trying to get pregnant. Now I've been off for about two weeks. I'm ovulating this week. Now I am having cramps and very light spotting. Am I going to start my period early because I stopped taking it on day three? ## Hello, Heather! How are you doing? Has anything changed? Yes, that can occur, since this is a hormonal contraceptive, as classified by the FDA. The cramping can also be a withdrawal effect, you may also experience headache and other PMS-like symptoms. In a few weeks, however, things should return to normal, if not, then please consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Looks like I started my menstralcycle early. It's very lights...

Hi, I am having irregular periods... If I take the tablets as prescribed by my doctor then I do see my periods... My doctor has done all the scan and hormonal tests and confirmed to me that everything is normal.. At present she prescribed me ovacare tablets.. Will I be able to conceive while using this tablet? ## Hello, Poo! How are you? Yes, this is not a contraceptive, so it doesn't prevent pregnancy. It is just a nutritional supplement that can help some women maintain/regain a better hormonal balance. The U.S. FDA warns that it sometimes causes nausea and diarrhea, as side effects. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have rx discount card. what is prices at diffeent pharmacy. I have urinary tract infection ## Hello, Ella! How are you? What is your general location? Since a website like this is open to use by people worldwide, it may not help much, if you live in New York and someone gives you an idea of the average prices in Seattle, Washington. The FDA lists the typical side effects for this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Can you please post back and clarify? Thanks!

So, I started my menstrual cycle on Friday, January 1st, on the same day I took the first contraceptive pill in the pack. My period lasted about 5 days which was on Tuesday Jan. 5th. I'm kind of scared to be intimate with my boyfriend without a condom knowing I've been on the pill for about a week. Has the pill started working properly since I've taken it for 8 days? Or should I just wait until I have finished the pack? I'm new to this birth control method. I remember to take my pill everyday in the morning but I sometimes take it at different times. I usually take them right when I wake up around 5:30 or I'll take it a bit later around 8 o'clock. Today, Jan. 8th I took my pill at 1:15 pm. Is this okay or no? Also, since I've started the pill, I have gotten a...

I am taking dronis for a late period (1 month 19 days) and long period (13 days). My doctor recently suggested I take dronis-30. I've been taking it for 2 days and started vomiting and getting a headache, then I stopped taking the tablets.. After 2 days again I had a small bleed. Why has this happened afterwards? If i am pregnant will there be any problem? ## Hello, Nk! How are you? That can be normal, since this is a hormonal contraceptive, as reported by the U.S. FDA. Other side effects may possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and PMS-like symptoms. And no, if you are pregnant, it should not harm the baby. However, it would be best to consult your doctor to be certain. Is there anything else I can help with?

It usually takes about 3 months for them to clear up and go away, once your body gets used to the medication. If they continue after that, then it may not be the right one for you to take.

I started LoLo 2 days before my cycle started. (still on a Sunday) I started on a Tuesday. Do you guys think it will shorten my cycle length? Please feel free to comment your story if something similar or the same. Thanks. ## It is hard to say, it could go either way, depending on how your body reacts to the hormones. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS-like symptoms. Can anyone that's been on this chime in with their experience?

The typical side effects of this medication may possible include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. If you are concerned, please don't be afraid to contact your doctor.

I am self medicating with Angeliq because I live in South East Asia where medical treatment isn't the best. I found it absolutely helped with the horrific fright flight feelings I had prior to a hot flush descending upon me which was just terrible. Having stopped taking it after around 2 years, I am having mild flushes now and then but the terrible thing is I just don't sleep. I am thinking to go back on it but worry as I am 60 and not able to get mamograms and care how it might go. Any ideas or advise please. ## Wow! I am so sorry about what you're going through, being in perimenopause myself, I understand how awful hormonal issues can get. However, having high blood pressure, I cannot take hormonal medications and the best thing I've found that's helped so far is P...

Hi, I am concerned. I had a baby 2. & 1/2 months ago and was cleared by my OBGYN to begin birth control. I asked to be placed on Ortho Lo but apparently Sprintec is the new generic available. Anyways, I've been on it 3weeks now and began my period last week (2weeks early) the bleeding on this pill is excessive. On top of that I have been having huge clots (last night 5 and 1 this morning). I am concerned. Is this normal?? Regardless, I didn't take my pill last night. I am planning on stopping these pills because the bloating and stomach cramps are too much for me. I am very concerned about the bleeding though..is this normal or should I be getting ready to go to the ER? ## That can occur, when you're new to taking an oral contraceptive, as reported by the FDA. You may al...
