I'm on my way to get this shot and want to know if it helps ## Hello, Nel! How are you? Yes, it has successfully helped some endometriosis sufferers, but it may cause some side effects afterwards, such as nausea, dizziness and headache, thus it would be best to make sure you aren't driving, after receiving it. Will you be administering the future doses at home or will your doctor be doing it? ## My Doctors office Thursday ! I'm ready for this to be over ..

Little round light blue pill. On top the letters WC under the number 735 ## From what I can gather, this is a tablet from a pack of birth control pills. They contain Norethindrone and Ethinylestradiol. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Light Blue round pill with WC above the score then 735 underneath is Generic Alprazolam 1 mg. They are manufactured in South Africa.

I have endometriosis And moved to Indiana from Florida last year. And they aren't giving me the meds I was previously on, even though my old pain management dr sent my records. I am in so much pain and not sure what else to do. Please help. This has been such a hard year with this pain. ## No dr has to prescribe you the same meds your previous dr did. Even with your medical records, there is no guarantee. ## Dr. A, at Summit Pain Management is great at listening to your needs. I'm already on psych meds, and even though I have severe back problems, doctors didn't want to give me anything. But he did. But I'm also doing injections and therapy

Hi I asked my gynae how to stop my period starting in 2 weeks time. She prescribed 5mg norethsterone once daily. I started taking on day 16. I have read that most delaying period doses are 3x daily 3 days before period. I'm concerned she made a mistake with dosing. I don't want to get my period whilst on holiday. I will be taking 5mg once a day for 30 days. ## Hello, Tanya! How are you? Yes, your doctor is trying to prevent your period from starting by keeping your hormones at once steady level for this time period. It's actually a fluctuation in your hormones, including a sudden drop off in Progesterone that cause your period to start. This replaces your natural progesterone to keep it from suddenly dropping off and inducing bleeding. Those taking higher dosages, before the...

Post menopause - no medications for 10 years, until recently when needed help for symptoms. In my 4th month now of this tablet, taken with 10 days progesterone. Noticed yesterday a small rusty discolor on my pantiliner. This mornings noticed same when wiping after urinating. Abdomen feels like it used to during a period. Not sure what to do. ## Hello, Deb! How are you? Anytime you are post menopausal and have vaginal bleeding, you should have it checked out by your doctor. In your case, it is most likely due the hormones you're taking, but there is a chance that it could be due to something else, so it's better to have it looked into for your own health and safety. Side effects to these hormones may include nausea, headache, irritability and other hormonal type symptoms. Is ther...

Hello, My doctor has prescribed Primeova tablets for me and I've been taking them starting from the 5th day of my menstrual cycle. The reason behind this prescription is that the size of my follicle in the left ovary was 15x16mm on the 10th day of my previous menstrual cycle, and it remained the same until the 17th day. I'm wondering if taking Primeova will help enhance the speed of my ovulation? Thank you for any assistance or insights you can provide!

Hello, trying to fill my script for Belladonna Alkaloids/Bellamine-S. My former physician gave to me for hot flashes and sweating which provided much needed relief. Literally, I was able to return to my normal daily functioning. This is key as I am a twenty four hour caregiver to my autistic daughter. My new provider does not believe in this, and won't prescribe for me. Nothing has changed in my drug regimen, as was with former provider. Any advice or resources you may be able to provide is most appreciated!

Can you tell me how this product compares to Zovia 1/35's? Details, please. ## Hello, Karla! How are you? These oral contraceptives are exactly the same, just manufactured by different companies, so they are available under different trade names. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, bloating, irregular bleeding and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am 46 and had regular monthly periods for many years. Two years ago I had regular periods except straight blood flow constant for two days like wetting my wants. Then two days of blood clots. Then no period until the next month. I assumed getting close to menopause so assumed it was normal. This summer I went to on gun and told her I was wearing three pads at a time, four layers of clothes, and still having leaks every hour or two. She ran both types of ultrasounds found a cyst on the ovary and put me on 10 mg of this from day 15-26. Didn't know what that meant and wanted a second opinion . This doctor said same thing except to take the same med everyday not just days 15-26. Everyday sounded easier to figure out then the specific days. However since being on this drug I have gaine...

Does this medication make you gain weight or retain weight? I am on weight watchers and have gained 4.6 pounds in the last week, when before I was losing 2.2 pounds every week. Also is one of the side effects of this drug, constipation? If so, how do you correct this? ## Weight gain is actually a common side effect associated with this medication as well as other drugs that affect one's hormonal balance. Hormones help regulate your metabolism and thyroid function, which directly influence weight gain or loss. The best way to combat weight gain in my honest opinion would be to change your diet and/or exercise regularly if you don't already do so. If I were in your shoes I would start with eliminating any excess fat and sodium in the diet. Foods with high sodium create water reten...

its chalk or drywall dust more like it ## Hi Heather, It sounds to me like you might've gotten a counterfeit. But because there's no easy way to identify something that doesn't show any markings, it may be that you'd have to have the contents analyzed by a lab if you wanted 100% verification. However, from what I could tell, Atilor is reported to be a brand name of Lorazepam that is manufactured/distributed by Cole Pharma (whom is also listed as being a division of Zenlabs Pharmaceuticals Inc). You could try contacting them directly in order to try and retrieve additional information regarding the tablet's legitimacy. They really make you do some serious investigative work to determine these basic details. Did you get this medication from an unlicensed pharmacy or of...

Hi I am 5 weeks pregnant and had two misscaririages before I am taking elevit by last 3 moths so please sugeest me if I can take elevit and susten 200 at the same time or I should stop taking one of them ## Has your doctor made any recommendation? The Elevit is a multivitamin and mineral supplement, that is used to help make sure the mother has the proper nutrition required to keep both her and the baby healthy. A lack in vital nutrients can lead to problems for the mother, as well as birth defects for the baby. Susten contains the hormone Progesterone, it is a female hormone that is required to support a health pregnancy, a lack in it can cause miscarriages, or early labor, which is more than likely why your doctor wants you to use it. There is really no problem associated with using t...

Have been taking tamoxifen 20 mgs for 5 months and my life is unbearable. The fatigue is so bad that walking for 5 mins makes me want to sit down. Have no concentration am light headed and depressed. The other side effect is the Panic attacks which are soul destroying. I am actually thinking of coming off them as I have no quality of life and cant go on. I can live with the hot flushes and nausea but the weight gain is really getting me down, considering I dont have an appetite. ## Hello, Theresa! How are you? This is a very important medication in the treatment of breast cancer, so I'd suggest not stopping it, without consulting your doctor. Those types of side effects are normal. Are you on any other medications?

So I don't have periods. I have pcos and my GP prescribes medroxyprogesterone to shed the lining of my womb at least once every three months. I take one tablet a day for 12 days and then I have my withdrawal bleed which is basically a normal 5-6 day period. I will not take any more tablets until I want to have another bleed but 2 weeks after my withdrawal bleed I have another period. I'd love to know why? Anyone? ## Hello, Sam! How are you? PCOS/PCOD does not always cause skipped periods, sometimes it causes them to be irregular, so you may have just had a period, without having to induce it. It would be best to check with your doctor to be sure, but most women with this condition have irregular periods. Is there anything else I can help with?

why miscarriage happen again and again , i have face three miscarriage in a row now i am very scared ,kindly solve the problem ## Hello, Nazi! How are you? I am very sorry about your losses. Only your doctor is going to be able to do some exams and blood work to give you an answer on why they've happened. However, I can tell you that most miscarriages are caused by a lack of progesterone, women need to produce more of it, when they are pregnant and sometimes they don't. How far along were your pregnancies? ## Dear verwon First of all thanks for replay , In last two pregnancies i was already on progesterone but inspite on this miscarriage happen , my dr doctor said 50% miscarriages have no reason All ways he done TVS (ultrasound) . i visited so many doctor but cant find the soula...

I got my first period when I was 13 and have had very severe PMS since then including cramps, extreme irritability/anger and anxiety, headaches, backaches, sore and swollen breasts, insomnia, hot flashes, pretty much the worst of any symptom you can think of. Although all of these symptoms are difficult to deal with, I would take the physical symptoms over the emotional any day. The anxiety and irrational anger and temper and just overall intensity of my emotions around the week I begin PMSing is so severe. Other than that, my period has always been fairly regular, usually between 30-40 days i'll get it, sometimes longer if I'm under unusually high stress or not eating correctly. Due to the intense PMS, I began taking natural progesterone cream a couple of years ago but have nev...

I have been taking Microgestin 1/20 for 6 months. I have not missed a pill or taken one late in over 2 months. My period usually comes heavily when I stop taking the active pills (there are no placebos in the pack, instead you get your period the 7 days you don't take the pill after the 21 active pills) and lasts 4-6 days of those 7. A little over a week after having unprotected sex (besides the pill) I began to bleed with 4 active pills left. It bleed like my period it was heavy and I went through about 2 tampons and 2 pads a day, and lasted 4 days. The bleeding lasted the last 4 active pills and then when I stopped for those 7 days my period was not present. Is it possible that I'm pregnant? I was taking Fluconazole (for a mild yeast infection) at the time that my Gyno prescri...
