I've just started taking these today to try and sort hormones out after they've been flaring for weeks on end, is it normal to feel a little weird when first starting out like mood wise? Just feel a bit unusual.
View 4 RepliesI had the mirena coil removed at the beginning of January this year due to bad side effects and I decided to go straight back on Cerazette which previously worked really well for me. However, whether I should have or not, I've stopped taking it. I found that it was causing me to get upset over the smallest of things and just generally feel really down quite often. Has anyone else experienced this?
I was also bleeding quite heavily every other week and I have just been bleeding constantly for nearly 3 weeks so that's another reason why I've stopped. I was also experiencing quite a few of the common side effects.
So has anyone else experienced low mood/mood changes on Cerazette before? As I don't know what to do if it doesn't resolve.
I'm on microgynon and had sex around a week and a half before i was due to have my 7 day break, then missed a pill around 3 days and 5 days after (about 15 hours after was due to take i took them). As i had less than 7 pills left in the pack i missed my 7 day break and started a new pack as that's what the leaflet said if you miss more than one pill..
i have read online that it only counts as a missed pill if its more than 24 hours after due to take it anyway so am i worrying about nothing or should i be worried?
I have had about 5 days worth of the new strip but my breasts have been really tender the last few days, if i need to do a test do i need to wait until my next 7 day break or can i do one before?
I'm back on this pill after a 2 year break to have a baby.I I started it last month, as advised, the first over my period. I've finished the first Pk, now I'm on day 4 of 7 day break from pill taking, no period has happened. My partner and I have agreed to use condoms also for a couple months to allows the pill to get bk in my system fully as in an extra precaution. All that happened one night when I was about to take it it slipped out hand and rolled under sofa, so I picked a tablet from another Pk for that day and just threw rest that full Pk away. Is it normal to have not had a period yet?
View 1 RepliesI started taking this when I was 14 and had a regular bleed that began on the same day. However I stopped taking it at the beginning of the year. I then carried on at the start of the month for a new partner. I haven't been taking it at the same time everyday due to being out, its ranged from 8pm-12am. We have only had sex without a condom a few times whilst I've been on the pill but im now 3 days into my 7 day break and I have not bled yet. Could I be pregnant? And how do I approach my partner?
View 1 RepliesI have brown patches on my face and my doctor has told me they may be a side effect from the contraceptive pill,but that is just a possibility.I don't want to change my method of contraception but i'm willing to if these brown patches disappear my doctor doesn't seem to know a lot and there's just no way I can afford to see a dermatologist.
View 3 RepliesDon't know if this helps but my prior medical history is - under active thyroid (on 125mcg) and I have PCOS.
I was put on microgynon 30 ED over a month ago due to heavy and long lasting periods (they would last nearly the entire year). The microgynon 30 instantly stopped the bleeding which I was so happy about, until the pill free week where I bled stupidly heavy, was going through over 10 'night/super heavy' pads a day, plus bleeding through pj bottoms and sheets . This was accompanied by intense lower abdomen and stomach pain and I soon ended up in hospital as I was so faint and my heart rate got up to 160. Thankfully, physically I was okay 'down there' and the obgyn said it could be hormonal, to take mefenamic acid along with tranexamic acid and she probably thought it was hormonal and to stop the microgynon.
I did and ever since the pain has been horrid. I don't know if this is purely coincidental? But, recently I'm still having the intense back pain, lower abdomen cramps, stomach ache, migraines, hot flashes (I'm only 24!), tight chest pains and vaginal pain (aching and stabbing sensations). Also, my anxiety levels have rocketed to the point of I'm pretty much scared to leave my house. I'm really trying to make it out every day though, so I suppose some part of my rationale is there hidden beneath this mess.
I just don't know what is causing it and I'm going to bed at night thinking I'm going to die haha. That or I am going totally mad and it is all in my little head. I truly hope it is just my hormones are totally out of sync.
I had an old packet of the pill left with about 8 days pills remaining. I took one, not on the first day of my period, but about 2 weeks from the usual period days. My bf and I had intercourse and he ejaculated inside me. I continued with the remainder of the pack as required but forgot to take one pill about 4 days later, I took that pill on the Thursday mornings and took the usual Thursday pill on Thursday night, then Friday pill on Friday morning..I continued with the pack but forgot to take the Monday pill and took Tuesday on Tuesday and Wednesday on Wednesday... I should have had my period today and it feels like there should be a period but I've not had my period! Do you think I could be pregnant or have I just messed up my system?! Really don't want a baby just yet!! Boobs aren't sore like usually are when I'm premenstrual but tummy feels warm sometimes throughout today... I've now got 3 new packets of the pill which I should take on Thursday following a 7 day break...
View 2 RepliesI've had a lot of breakthrough bleeding the last few weeks and am looking into changing my pill. However I'm going to a spa weekend this weekend and read online that to help with break through bleeding you can take two pills on one day and then carry on as normal. I have done this and hope to carry on with my normal pack tomorrow however all day I have felt very nauseous and have had a dodgy tummy constantly on the toilet. Is this because of the extra hormones my body isn't taking it very well? I did take them on an empty stomach stupidly as it was early and I didn't really think. Just worried I'm going to be really ill.
View 1 RepliesI posted yesterday on depression forum but after doing some research think the problem may be with the Mirena Coil. I have had the coil for a number of years now. I can't remember if I had any problems with my first coil but since getting my second one fitted in 2012 I just don't feel right. My head is not clear and I seem to have a constant cycle of a couple of average/low mood weeks, followed by a week where I feel really low and anxious (I get the feeling this would be the week I would have menstruated) then the following week I feel on top of the world and can take on the world and round and round it goes. I have now got to the point where I feel I can't carry on on this neverending cycle anymore. Has anyone else had problems with moods with the Mirena Coil? My mood swings are terrible and often feel angry and irritable. I don't know if the problem is anxiety/depression or whether it is connected to the coil. As it is I am thinking of having it removed, to remove that possibility if nothing else. Anyone had the Mirena removed and then felt better?
View 1 RepliesLast night hubby and I had sex and I woke up this morning with unusual cramps. I'm 35 weeks should I be worried?
View 10 RepliesWell, i have been taking PPI for last 1 year or more, and been having a constant battle with my BM, some days its fine,. some days its not.
Of late, around 30 days back i was super constipated, i had to strain so hard, i started developing chest pains. Lack of appetite, and intake of food is very scanty.
So to overcome constipation i started taking laxative (Himalaya Herbolax) , All well for few days. but things started getting weird , first movement as soon as i wake up is normal, then after an hour i have my cup of tea and breakfast, then urge to move again. I go in , little watery stools.
After 45 mins urge again, watery again. And i have to strain to move the watery stools too.
For the past 2 months when I have been masturbating I have what I can only describe as and ejaculation mixed with copious amounts of precum, I will be wanking (I tend to have long wanks somewhere between 5 minutes to over an hour) and after about 10-15 minutes (depending on how turned on I am) I get the feeling that I need to pee and then I start to shoot a couple of squirts of cum then a folly (I actually think flood would be the right term) of precum. It doesn't really feel like an orgasim and I stay rock hard after until I finally cum.
I have been doing a few penile exercises lately, just some light jelqing and some kegels. I haven't injured myself or felt any pain, so I wouldn't say that I have damaged anything.
I'm 23 relatively healthy and "clean the pipes" nightly.
I'm not complaining as it feels good and provides real good lube, it just gets messy
If anyone has any idea on what this could be that would be great, as I have done some research and I haven't turned much up.
First, My period began very light brown(looked like old blood) for 8 days. Used a panty liner for the whole day. These past two days it's becoming heavier. I have to use a pad. I am still on my period!!! My normal period last 5 days and I begin heavy and then light.
View 2 RepliesMy right knee & on the right side in the soft part feels numb & if I get it against anything or kneel on the floor on my knee it feels like I put my knee on something sharp or it can feel like I put it on a nails & it can really hurt, I can rub my knee I can touch my knee firmly, even smack it & it does not bother it, it only shows these symptoms when I get against something or kneel down on it, its weird but its me so it would be.lol.. I thought maybe a form of neuritis but I don't know, I did nothing to my knee to cause this...Sometimes if I get against something in a certain way I feel the sensation of something rolling inside I want to say like a vein maybe.. If I run my fingers over the spot it feels numb..

View 5 RepliesI and my gf had sex 3-4 days before her periods and I have ejaculated inside. She took I pill after 2 3 hours of se.is there any chances of pregnancy?
She got unusual bleeding and without pain bleeding of periods...that's weird for her.is that a problem?
So basically I was on microgynon for about 3 years before switching to cerazette as I told the doctors I had headaches from microgynon as I didn't want to have periods anymore (stupid I know). So now I have been on cerazette for about 6 months my bleeding is extremely light however can come at any time. Sometimes for weeks of light bleeding. I now want to swap back to microgynon as I am going on holiday in November and want to ensure I am not bleeding whilst I am there. I am worried that If I switch back I could potentially bleed for a long period of time. My doctor told me to double up on cerazette but I have had other symptoms such as vaginal dryness which is affecting my sex life. If I switch back to microgynon will I bleed for ages or will it just be for a week, I never had problems with this pills before.
View 1 RepliesAfter taking 4tabs after unprotected sex after 120 hours and 4 tabs again after 12 hours? What would be the next time to take the emergency pill? And what dose?
View 1 RepliesI have been on the pill (Microgynon) for a year and a half now. At first I was taking it for contraception, but now I take it to control my periods. I have not experienced any of the side effects that are listed in the leaflets that come with it. I have always been lucky with it and not had any issues!
A couple of weeks ago I decided to take one pack after the other (I've done this before - no issues with it!) as I was going on holiday. Everything is going fine and there is no sign of my period.
I go away again in under two weeks, my period will be due on the Sunday (my first day away) and obviously I don't want this.
I have two options here, leave my last 7 pills and have my period early (again, I am NOT using this pill for contraception at the moment) or take another pack immediately after this pack has finished and miss another period.
(I have not experienced any bleeding whenever I have taken one pack after the other, I have not missed two periods in a row before though).
I'm hoping to get some info about Microgynon as I didn't have a period during my seven day break. I ALWAYS have a period, is this normal? I have the Mirena coil too so it's very unlikely I'm pregnant but is it still possible to conceive with double contraception (the Microgynon is to help with mood swings and the Merina is my main contraception)
Also I had a super super faint line on a pregnancy test. Some can see it, some can't. When I made the photo darker in black and white it's really obvious. Is that line just the chemicals underneath?
