I'v been using microgynon for 2months but its out of stock and have been give oralcon. Is it safe? ## I have been using mycrogynon for two month now. The thing is that it is out of stock and I was given oralcon as a replacement. My question is, is it safe to change from one contraceptive to the other. ## Yes, there shouldn't be any problem, unless your doctor says otherwise, you should be able to just do a clean switch from one to the other. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for answering my question! The other question I want to ask is, I take my pill at 21:15hrs everyday. But sometimes I forget until the following day. If this happens is it fine for me to take one pill in the morning and the other one at 21:15hrs? ## Hi m using Triphasal so i forgot 2 take da l...

Hi, Is it safe to take Althea pills while I'm drinking Lipton tea at the same time Im eating only vegetables? Thank you. ## Yes, neither tea, nor vegetables are known to affect oral contraceptives. The NIH lists the typical side effects of them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. However, if you are following a vegan diet, please make sure that you do eat some other foods, such as nuts, to make sure you get enough protein. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If its okey to drink a biofit tea while im taking my trust pills??i need your reply thanks ## Hi! I would like to ask po if I can take Biofitea while taking Dianne pills? I’ve read a lot of reviews, i’m afraid it would lessen the pill’s effect..

I want to know more about it ## I LOVE Yasmin. I have been taking it for a long time. I have tried other BCP, but none work as well for me as this one. My gyno has me taking them continuously and I stop every 3 months and have a cycle, so I have a period 4 times a year which is WONDERFUL. I bloat a little bit, just when I stop to have it and also cramp, but its only 4 times a year! Hope this helps! ## Why do I have spotting after taking Yasmin pills? I'm not finished with my one pack of Yasmin yet and I'm so worried... I have 3 tablets of Yasmin left. I'm not pregnant so please give me advice.

I am taking Natazia birth control, which has: 2 dark yellow tablets each containing 3 mg estradiol valerate, 5 medium red tablets each containing 2 mg estradiol valerate and 2 mg dienogest, 17 light yellow tablets each containing 2 mg estradiol valerate and 3 mg dienogest, 2 dark red tablets each containing 1 mg estradiol valerate, 2 white tablets. My question is, can I get pregnant if I have intercourse while on the medium red tablets? ## No, as long as you take them every day, as you should, then you are protected against pregnancy for the entire month, regardless of which tablets you are taking.

For a few month I have been on the 3months injection then changed to the 2month injection then changed to oralcon because I was bleeding through out the whole year while on the injection so I have been on the pill for about a year or more now I'm off it completey and want to fall pregnant how long will it take for me to fall pregnant?help ## Hello, Tashy! How are you? It could take about three months or so, before you actually ovulate and can possibly get pregnant. The hormonal contraceptives that you were using work by suppressing ovulation and it will take a bit for your body to balance things back out naturally. Have you consulted your doctor?

I am 20 year old my period use to come not monthly but it skips month then it stop coming....I haven seen my period for a year now and I would like to get pregnant ...am using oralcon f hormonal contraceptive... Will this help me ## You will not be able to get pregnant while taking a contraceptive, however, it can help regulate your natural hormones to increase your chances of getting pregnant, in the future, when you stop taking it, according to the NIH. How long have you been taking the Oralcon?

I missed one day of taking my Ovuloc ld tablet. I am taking each tablet daily at night around 10pm. Yesterday night is when I missed taking a tablet and today at 2 pm I remembered that I was supposed to take it. So what should I do now? Can I take this tablet or not?

I am 15 years old and am on birth control because my period is very heavy. I have used it before for the same reason and never experienced any adverse effects or typical symptoms. I started taking Aranelle 21 days ago; and two days ago I took the last pill which would prevent my period. Yesterday, I felt very ill in the morning and even vomited; today, I'm still not feeling well. Could this be related to my period? I haven't been taking the pills that are usually ingested during a period. Could this make a difference? ## The last 7 tablets are inactive, they are just in the package to help keep you in the habit of taking a daily pill, this helps prevent missing any and risking pregnancy. Oral contraceptives can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and irregular vaginal bleeding, a...

Hi, I have used the oralcon pills for a month (21 days) and went off the white pills before I could get my menstruation cycle and now I feel like I am pregnant......is that possible? ## HI, Gertrude! Have you done a pregnancy test? If you went off of them and had intercourse after that, when you weren't taking them, then yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. They will only protect you from pregnancy as long as you are taking the active tablets. ## hi,have been on the pill for a full week now...so i want to know how it works,,i missed the white one but remembered 2 hrs later...am i at risk? ## nagtake ako ng althea not on the day of my mens. during the 5th day of taking it, i had intercourse with my bf,, is it possible that i could get pregnant? after naubos ko yung pills,, 7...

what will happen if you take the pills an hour later, or if you forget to take them at the time you've been taking them every day? ## I've been taking the pill for 2 months and did not have my periods last month. I am 43 years old. ## Hello, Lee! How are you? There is no harm in taking them just an hour or so late. That's nothing to worry about, you've generally got a 12 hour window, before it's considered a late pill. Amber, which one are you taking? Some women do skip their periods while on oral contraceptives. Have you consulted your doctor? Is there a risk of pregnancy? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, PMS-like symptoms and breakthrough bleeding. ## I have been on microval for 7 years and neve...

Never been pregnant is it safe to use oralcon pills ## HI, Prie! How are you? You don't have to have ever been pregnant to take oral contraceptives, they can be effective for all women. Marital status is also not a factor. Has your doctor advised to take them? There can be some risks associated with them, so you need to check with your doctor to make sure it is okay for you to try them.

And yes again, you should then continue taking a tablet each day and make sure not to miss any. This may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and mood swings.

I have been on Purbac for acne, today (Wednesday) marks the 3rd week of treatment. Last week on Thursday was my last day having my period. Today I had intercourse with my fiance and the condom broke. Am I at risk of pregnancy? Does ovulation play a part in this? Can I take contraceptives? ## Antibiotics like Purbac can reduce the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives, creating a risk of pregnancy. Yes, Ovulation always plays a role, but if the antibiotic disrupted your cycle, you may not ovulate when you expect to do so. The FDA lists the other side effects of Purbac as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Ref: Purbac Information Have you done a pregnancy test, yet?
