small circle pill like size of birth control pill that has IP on both sides ## I'm sorry, but I can't find a listing for a tablet with just an IP on both side. If it is that small, it very well could be a birth control tablet. There are many on the market and if someone orders from a foreign source, the imprints would not be logged in the U.S. databases. Where did you find it? ## its about a half inch with an A with the top of a capitol P 60 is on the bottom half

Okay so I started Sprintec about 3 months ago and my doctor said my period should change after 3 months. My previous 2 months by my first sugar pill I was on a heavy period with cramps. But this month I took one of my blue pills at mid night because I forgot it and now I have light cramps, and my body is acting like I'm on my period but no blood. Do you think I'm pregnant? please help ## If you still took the pill within 24 hours of when you should have done so and haven't actually missed any, then it isn't very likely that you are pregnant. And your doctor was correct, it can take 3 months for your body to fully adjust to this medication and it is normal to experience menstrual changes during this time. However, if you are concerned, then you should contact your doctor ...

please explain window period and breakthrough bleed in context of taking DRONIS 20? ## In relation to birth control, a window period usually refers to the period of time when you should take the tablets, each day. You should try to take them at the same time, but you do have a window period of several hours to take them, before it would be enough time where you would have to treat it the same as missing a pill. Breakthrough bleeding refers to any type of bleeding that may occur, while your body is getting used to the hormones in the tablets. It may appear as just light bleeding, commonly called spotting, or it may be heavier and seem like a normal period flow. Are there any other questions I can help you with?

Hi! i've been taking Sprintec for more then one year now! this month I skiped one blue pill, and after 2 days,even if I took the pills at my regular hour in those days, I got my period! Should I continue to take the pills form this pachage until I am done with them,or should I discontinue them and start a new cycle on Sun? ## If you've only skipped one pill, it is fine to just continue the current pack. Skipping it caused the breakthrough bleeding, but your body will get back onto your normal cycle, soon. However, missing a pill does increase your risk of getting pregnant, so you should use some other form of back-up protection for at least a week. Are there any other questions?

Has anyone taken othro novum 7/7/7 and suffered blood clots and pulmonary embolisms? ## The possibility of blood clots is always present with the use of any hormonal birth control tablet and is warned about in the medication monographs. This is why, if someone has suffered from previous clotting problems, a doctor will not prescribe them or if someone develops one, while on them, a doctor will take them off of the medication. Other side effects may include: nausea, headache and weight gain.

I just started Aviane 21 about 10 days ago right after my cycle to stop my next cycle so I could enjoy my upcoming trip to Jamaica. Problem is, I feel terrible, weight gain, bloated, cravings, grumpy you name it. If I stop taking them right now, will it instantly trigger my cycle so I get my period before my trip? I leave for my trip in ten days. ## It won't instantly trigger it, but it you will probably start your period in a day or two, after you stop taking them. It is hormonal contraceptive, so the side effects you experienced are normal and will taper off, once your body gets used to the medication. Alternatively, you could also speak to your doctor about trying a different one, since they are many on the market and something else might work better for you. Are there any commen...

Mala N was prescribed after abortion. I am experiencing heavy bleeding for 7 days and severe abdominal pain. ## From the limited information I can find, Mala N is an oral contraceptive, in this case, your doctor probably gave it to you to try to rebalance your hormones and menstrual cycle, after the abortion, though I can really only guess on that. Have you consulted your doctor or pharmacist regarding your use of them?

Hi I am ummarried, the doctor adviced me to take dronis 20 tablet, i took the whole pack, i finished it 2 ays ago. i Havent got my periods when am i supposed to get my periods?I am taking this tablet for the first time. Note- i had started taking talet without getting my period ## Dronis 20 is a hormone based oral contraceptive. When you first start taking the tablet, your body isn't used to the additional hormones, for some women, this may cause some vaginal bleeding and for others, they may skip their period. This is normal and can last for as long as 3 months, while your body adjusts to the medication. The way it should work in the future, once your body is used to the medication, is your period should start within 2 to 3 days of taking your last tablet. Are there any comments or...

what are the chances of getting pregnant while on this medication, while having the birth control, called implanon? ## The problem with antibiotics and birth control occurs when women are using oral contraceptives, because the antibiotics can affect the birth control tablets, in the digestive system and cause them to be less effective. Therefore, with an implanted IUD, this risk is eliminated, so the antibiotic will not lower the efficacy of the IUD and increase your risk of pregnancy. You will still be protected. Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim may cause some side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more: Are there any other comments or questions?

When can I get this at my local drugstore? ## You would have to ask your store when or if they are going to get it in, if they don't normally carry it, they should be able to order it in for you. You will, however, need a prescription in the U.S. Since it is an oral contraceptive, which can cause serious side effects or have an effect on other medical conditions, it requires a gynecological and physical exam, as well as doctors approval to use it. Are there any comments or questions? ## My dr prescribed this pill to me. I have 3 different pharmacies in my small town and none of them have this pill and they all say they are unable to order it for some reason. This was the first pill that hadn't made me sick or made my periods worse. I hope my pharmacy will figure out how to get i...

this is the first time i take any type of bc. i began to take it on the sunday after my period, because that is when my doc told me to. did i do the correct thing by listening to her and taking it on the sunday after my period or should i have waited to begin taking my 1st pill ever in my life on the day of my period. ## There is really no right or wrong on this, so you did the right thing by following your doctor's instructions. The only difference is, if you start immediately, on the first day of your period, then you are immediately protected, from pregnancy, because it will prevent ovulation from occurring. However, if you don't start until your period has already finished, there is a chance that ovulation has already started. (It usually occurs about 2 days before or 2 days...
