I'm a nurse and I recently was preparing an intravenous antibiotic for a patient when a splash of the concentrated form got in my eye as I was preparing it. I'm taking Alesse birth control and I was wondering if this would be enough to possibly interfere with the effectiveness of the birth control? I don't specifically remember which antibiotic it was, it may have been ampicillin.

View 1 RepliesI have been taking cyclafem birth control pills. Sunday I started new pack but its by a different name. The name is sprintec. How effective is it?
View 2 RepliesI consider myself to still be new to taking the pill as a form of birth control. Just when I think I have it figured out, something new would happen which would make me doubt it's effectiveness.
I am currently using Chateal, which contains 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills. After 6 months of taking it as directed, I assume my body should be used to the side effects. I would get nausea from taking it so I switched to taking it at night. I have been taking it that way for 3 months now.
But I have noticed since first started taking it, I would get severe cramps and backaches during the second week of the pack for a few days. I assumed I was ovulating while on the pill because I noticed my cervical mucus changes throughout the month. My understanding though is the pill is to prevent ovulation thus preventing pregnancy.
Can you ovulate while on the pill? Is my birth control pill type too low of a dose for me? Could it be something else?
I'm a first time user of birth control and was recently prescribed Aviane 28 (generic Alesse). I took my first dose earlier this evening (about 7PM) and was feeling peachy keen until after my shower (about 9:30PM). A wave of incredibly bad nausea and dizziness sidelined me when I stepped out - I could barely stand, my head was swimming and the feeling was so intense, I had to lie down on the bathroom floor and wait for it to pass. I'm planning on seeing my doctor tomorrow but in the meantime, has anyone experienced something similar while on their first dose?

View 7 RepliesI know this is going to sound strange, but I seriously want to know if anyone here has the answer to this question. I am going to be 55 yrs old in March. I have been on birth control pills most my life, but I went to a new doctor (GYN) years ago, and she told me that I didn't need to be on them because there was no possible way I could become pregnant at 53 without medical intervention.
I left her office happy until my sister told me that the doctor is WRONG and that I could get pregnant at 55! I don't have any idea if I have been through menopause, but I've not had any signs if I have. I called the doctors office back and talked to my previous doctor who wouldn't "confirm" if I could or couldn't, but she suggested I take the mini-pill (progesterone only). I am really sick of the pill and wanted to just stop taking it, but don't want to be foolish. Does anyone here know if this is a fact or not that at 55 I wouldn't be able to become pregnant anyway if off of the pill?

View 1 RepliesI just got my period in Jan 9th and I ended it on Jan 19 which is when I got my implanon removed and was sexually active with no protection, I noticed I bled the following morning so would that be normal? Could my body be getting used to not having the implanon on. Should I be concerned?
View 1 RepliesI was supposed to start my new pack at 6 pm on Sunday. It is now 730 am on Tuesday.
How do I take my pills now? The instructions are unclear to me because I'm freaking out.
I stopped my pill and within 3 weeks I noticed a lot of hair loss, mainly when I wash my hair I notice a lot in the plug hole and in my hair brush.
But also a few Days ago ,I put a leave in conditioner in my hair when it was dry and my hands were full of hair?
I'm not sure what is going on I have had my first natural period so thought after that things would settle down but Its still happening ,and I've been off the pill (yasmin) for about 6 weeks now, it's so distressing.
I take multivitamins every day I just don't know what else to do, I feel fine in myself.
if any one has had one what were your experiences did you like using it or hate it.
View 1 RepliesI've never been on birth control pills before and I just started taking them 4 days ago. I wanted to know if I can change the time I take it from 12:30 pm to like 7 or 8 at night? 12:30 just isn't too convenient for me anymore.

View 6 RepliesSo I've been having a lot of digestion issues, and finally went and got some blood-work done. What came back was that I had high levels of C-Reactive Protein....18 to be exact.
Now I know this indicates theres some sort of inflammation in my body, but I was also reading that birth control could increase the levels of CRP. I was just curious if it could really effect it THAT much. Normal levels are 0-4 and mine are 18...that just seems pretty high.
