I have been taking Angelique for about 9 months. I am 57 years old and was having extreme vaginal dryness and hot flashes. Two months after beginning Angelique, my mammogram and a sonogram showed cysts in my right breast. 6 months later, one cyst had grown by 5mm. The cyst was aspirated and benign. My doctor says it is my choice if I want to get off the Angelique. Will I be facing multiple cyst aspirations and possible cancer if I continue the Angelique? ## There is no way anyone can give you a definitive answer to that, hormones have been known to cause these types of problems in some women, but there is also no way to say for sure that cysts would not have developed if you weren't taking it, either. Angeliq is an HRT that contains Drospirenone and Estradiol and HRT is not recommen...

i havent seen my boyfriend for months and he is coming home the week i go on my sugar pills (next week) i heard that if u skip the white pills and go right to the next pack you wont get your period? is that true? and is it safe? please help :( ## If no one has answered this question for you yet, allow me. I have taken OTC-lo in 4 pack doses getting my period every 3 months, instead of every month for the past 7 years. I started with the Depo Shot, but it made my hair fall out, so my Dr. suggested doing OTC-lo this way. It's been wonderful. I have regular periods every 3 months, less cramping, less moody, and so much more convenient. A little research will show you that OTC-lo actually is NOT a steady dose of hormones; it is Triphasic which means 3 weeks of varied doese. If I recall ...

Are manufacturers allowed to mark placebo sugar pills with the same markings as real pills? I know the giant bottles they keep medicine in at the pharmacies would be marked differently, but I'm assuming the risk of a mix up would be too high for the makers to mark the pills themselves the same. ## No, not in the U.S. all pills must have unique imprints allowing them to be identified in case of emergency, according to manufacturer, active ingredient and dosage, thus to mark a placebo the same would make this futile and break the law. ## I think the only exception to this would be in the case of birth control pills - during the cycle of taking them, there are 'off-days' in the cycle where the pill does not actually contain any hormones. Those placebo pills are specially marked...

question: i am a sunday starter but i didnt get to start the new pack until monday. and i misunderstood how to take them. instead of taking 2 on mon (both sun and mons) i threw sundays away and just started with monday. AND during the active pills i also lost one completly. if i am to get my period, and i was a day late starting the pack, should it come one day early or late? ## just go on w/ your schedule.......... & use a condom too PLEASE!! ## Yes, you should use a back-up means of birth control, until you have been on the pills continuously for several weeks, without missing any. As to when your period will start, it all depends on how your body reacts to missing the pill, you may even start now, or at least have some spotting/breakthrough bleeding. Do you have any other questio...

i found a small pill, the size of birth control pills, and it has a blue marking on one side, its either an A or a V...and the other side is blank.....does anyone know what this is??? and please no one tell me to look on a website because ive tried that

I'm crrently taking Junel Fe 1/20, which is a low-dose birth control pill - I think. Walmart has Sprintec and Tri-sprintec on its $4 Rx program. Would either of them be comparable or low-dose? ## You do not have to be on your period to start Sprintec. You can however start it on your first day of your period or the first Sunday after your menstrual cycle. ## Tri-Sprintec is not! You should try asking your doctor or pharmacist to find a viable generic alternative. ## do you have to take the last week of pills the white ones?
