Hi, iv had the jadelle in for 2 and half weeks, when I run a figure down my arm it hurts. I can feel pain when I bend my arm or if I lay my son on my arm. I can also feels like a tight string like possibly a nerve next to the jadelle under the skin. Pain only seems to be getting worse. Should I go to doctors or hospital or will the pain go away? ## Hello, Bobby! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, you should have it checked out, it might not have been placed correctly. The FDA lists possible Jadelle side effects as including dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms. The tight string spot that you feel is most likely an irritated muscle. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Hi, I've had jadell for 2y...

I forgot to take my friday and saturday of the week 2 pills and accidentally took my sunday pill of week 3 without realizing my mistake. What do I do now? ## Hello, Loren! How are you? If you're talking about the regular Sprintec, which has 3 rows of blue pills and one row of white, then it doesn't matter what day you take the blue ones, they are all the same. The issue is missing those ones, that increases your risk of pregnancy, if you're actively engaging in intercourse. If pregnancy is a concern, you should use a backup method of contraception, until after you've taken 7 full days of active tablets, again, without missing any. This hormonal OC may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness, PSM, bloating and irregular bleeding. Is there anything else I c...

Hi, i stopped using the oralcon on the 8th of October 2019. I was bleeding for 5 days there after. In November i had my period for two days and in December i had it for 3 days. All three months i was bleeding very little not even to fill a pad but when i urinate and wipe myself there will be a lot of blood on the tissue. In Dec i had my period for three days on the 16th until the 18th and on the 21st of December i had a little blood and discharge on my underwear. Can i be pregnant ## If you have had periods, it is not likely that you are pregnant. Since Oralcon is a hormonal contraceptive, stopping it can cause your body's hormone levels to be off balance, for awhile, which may result in irregular periods, and changed levels of bleeding. It can take a few months for your body to reg...

Okay so basically I was about a week into my tri-sprintec pill when I had to get a new packet, but I couldnt get it for 6 days (long story), I started having fairly heavy bleeding about 3 days after missing pills, heavier than I usually have at the start of my period and have been bleeding 3 days now, I am unsure if I should take the new packet now or wait to let this "period" play out? Also (so sorry for the long post) before this happened I was going to be done with my regular period the week before leaving on a vacation now I will start the day before, which I desperately do not want! Is there anyway I can do this so my next period will be moved? Preferably to where it was suppose to be before? Or skip it without worrying about BTB? Today is 10/3 and is my 3rd day of bleeding...

Hi, I have been taken the pills for about 3 weeks now, I'm on the 5th red pill and nothing has happened besides spotting I haven't skipped any pill however sometimes I would consume the pill 2/3hours later than usual. Am I in trouble.? I'm freaked out because I'm scared I could b pregnant..pls help ## Hello, Tumi! How are you? This is a hormonal contraceptive, so it does tend to lighten the flow of many women during their period week, things may return to normal in a couple months, once your body is used to it. However, if you didn't miss any pills, then the chances that you are pregnant are very low. But if you're still concerned, please consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## hi I take my pill everyday in the morning but at different tim...

I have been using nur-isterate last year from January to October and I stopped. I have been experiencing non stop bleeding so i went to a clinic and the nurse gave me Famynor and she cut out the red ones. What do the white do? I want to get pregnant. Plz help. My menses got delayed by 5 months now and I still can't see my periods... Help please. ## This is an oral contraceptive, so it is not likely that you will become pregnant, while taking it. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, and mood changes. It can help regulate your periods, but it usually prevents ovulation, so you can't become pregnant. Are there any questions I can help with? ## I just wanna know how many Famynor pills I should take to prevent p...

How are you? Yes, when you're taking this oral contraceptive, you'll usually start on the first or second day of taking the white tablets. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## hello,i have another question i had been spotting for 2 days since i that day i drinked my second speintec pill and today is my 3rd day and i have had a normal period today,i h...

My doctor prescribed me sunolut 5mg (2 tablets every morning for 10days) for my period to come. Does it prevent me from getting pregnant like a contraceptive? I am not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon… I have mercilon birth control pills as well. Can i consume both together? (mercilon pills are to be taken daily as well every month).

Hi There, I have been on Oralcon now for almost a year now. A couple days ago I was taking the red pills and I noticed I missed the last one. I took it 24 hours later with the first white one of the new pack. My question is will I be affected by missing one of the red pills? Will this decrease its effectiveness against preventing pregnancy? ## Hi, Megs! How are you? The red pills at the end of the pack are just placebo tablets that contain no active hormones, they are just meant to allow you to have a withdrawal bleed that week, so there is no harm in missing them. The sole reason they are included is to keep women in the habit of taking a pill each day, so they don't forget when it's time to start the new pack. So no, missing one or more of those ones doesn't matter, you do...

White oval tablet with one half letter B and other half letter T. The tablet can be split in half with a score line down the middle. ## What is the oblong BT pill? I found them in my daughter's room. ## Hard to say for sure. I couldn't find any exact match online but some research indicates it may be a contraceptive (birth control) pill manufactured in the UK. There is a similar variation (imprint/score) of homeopathic medicine made by Boericke & Tafel but I believe it is round not oblong. ## Thanks for the feedback. Someone else just wrote in a related thread that they have these same tablets, but believe them to be anabolic steroids (stanozolol or oxandrolone). Based on their message, it sounds to me like they're in England. And I also got the sense that they may not h...

Can I take marijuana when taking the medication Yasmin? ## Marijuana doesn't really interact with most drugs including birth control to the best of my knowledge. I think it would mostly intensify the effects of alcohol or other controlled substances.

Please help me,i started taking oracorn F when i wasnt havin periods.i taken the pills for 3weeks now i took the 2rd red pil but i cant see my periods am i safe? ## Hai i started oralcon f when my period starts first day and then my periods hv stoped from the second date stil i 'n taking the tablet but stil i didnt hv periods etat should i do ## Oralcon-F is a hormonal contraceptive, so irregular periods can be a normal side effect after you start taking it, and may last for about 3 months, or so. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, and bloating. However, only your doctor can help you discover if what you're experiencing is due to the medication. Are you on any other medications?

does oralcon really help with decreasing acne? I'm only trying it out for that reason and I'd prefer not ot if it does not. I have already gotten the pills but I haven't started taking thme yet because I just need a cofirmation from someone who actually does know. Please Help!!! ## I'm sorry, but there's no way to know for sure if they will or will not help you with acne. These contraceptives use synthetic hormones, they can help some people with acne if theirs has been caused by a hormonal issue. However, there is also a chance that they can cause acne or make it worse. What has your doctor advised? What else have you tried for treating the acne? ## hello i have the pills but i only have it to see it it decreases my acne and acne scars. i haven't taken them beca...
