What Pack Should I Start In Althea Pills

I'm so confused . I'm using trust pills and it's already my 3rd day of my period and I want to switch to Althea pills. Today is Wednesday, how ever the start day on the chart is Sunday what should I follow? Is it the first tablet which is Sunday or can I proceed directly to Wednesday? ## Unless your doctor has instructed otherwise, you should be able to make a clean switch from one to the other, so you can just start Althea on the same day you would normally start a new pack of Trust pills. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I took Althea pills after having intercourse - Is that safe? And I stopped after i finished the 16 tablets. Now i...

I started taking Althea last April 2017, my OB asked me to take the pill since I have PCOS and that I has cyst on my left and right ovary, right after I finished the first pack I can say that I was satisfied with the result since I got my period 5days, but when I take the 2nd pack I had light period like light spotting never had a heavy flow, the spotting takes 2 days, I still continue taking the pill though but since May up until now I no longer had a normal period like what I had last May, is this normal? I hope to hear back from you. ## Yes, hormonal contraceptives my change your cycle, as a side effect, including how long you bleed, and how much you bleed, according to NIH documents.

Hi! It's my first day for the 7 free pill days but I wasn't so sure if i'm protected w/o taking any pill so i took 1 pill for my next pack. Should i stop or continue taking the rest of the pills? If i'll stop when will I continue? Is it safe to just continue another pack? Thank u. ## Hello, Jane! How are you? Yes, you are still protected during the 7 free days, there is no need to take pills during that time period, according to NIH instructions. Usually, you should just continue on and start a new pack on the day your normally would, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise.

Hi! I've been using althea pills for over a month and i just started my second set of pills yesterday after the 7 day break. I've noticed that i lost weight (which i'm not happy with since i'm trying to gain some) and my zits were more evident now than before i started taking pills. I'm not expecting to have smooth skin and gain weight immediately after a month of taking it, but is it normal to look worse than before? Is it safe to switch over to diane 35 as early as tomorrow even if i'm not yet done with my second pack? Or should i wait til i've taken them all up first?

How are you? Yes, that should be okay, but you should double check with your doctor to be certain. However, that is the way it is normally done, just a smooth straight transition from one oral contraceptive to the next. Just make sure not to miss any tablets. However, why haven't you had your period, yet? That would normally be the time that you'd finish a pill pack. ## This week (tuesday) was my last pill of dapne then i switch to diane 35 ,now two nights of taking diane pills it is ok ?
