Contraception Side Effects, Specifically Cerazette
I started taking the pill about a month ago, specifically Cerazette which is the progestogen based pill. It was fine until I got my first period whilst on the pill, since then I've bled consistently and heavily for 3 weeks which is causing me a great deal of discomfort. I went to my local clinic yesterday and switched to the combined pill which I'm told is good at regulating periods and my doctor tells me that I should come off my period within a week, but I am worried that it will continue for longer than that. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the chances are of this problem persisting for longer than said week and if there are any forms of contraception other than condoms which would eliminate this problem for me. Any advice is appreciated.

I got the shot on September 17th of this year and am due for another on November 22nd. I had not had a period until the 1st of November, which I am still on now. I know ongoing periods are normal, but I do not want it to continue and I am so worried that it will. I have also been very moody. I find myself angry at the littlest of things, and crying more often than ever. I wanted some outside opinions on whether or not I should continue with the depo or if I should try a different form of birth control.

I have had an implanon for more than a year now. But probably 4 months ago I started getting acne. Although I realize that it is one of implanon side effects could it be possible that it is only happening now, after a whole year? And another thing is, whenever I take antibiotics like Tetralysal 300mg or purbac for my acne, my bleeding starts and it won't stop unless I stop with the antibiotic. Is this normal?
View 1 RepliesUterine Fibroids :: Esmya, Side Effects And Coming Off
I am 37 and live in the UK, I've just finished my 3 month course of Esmya for the 5 Fibroids I have.
Now I can tell you about all the side effects of which I suffered from the weight gain to the hot flushes, but its really the stage of finishing the course and what happens next I would like advice if anyone has any??
It has now been 1 week and 5 days since i took my last tablet, and the first week I was ok but after that I have had very dull aches in the tops of my thighs and stabbing pains in my lower stomach, as you women will know when it gets to that time of the month majority of people have that stabbing pain which feels like it is going straight up the middle of your stomach, well this is just like it but more severe as to the point I double over, I was seen last night by the out of hours GP and he gave me some painkillers to manage the symptoms but that's all he could do, he had never heard of Esmya so couldn't advise me, just told me to contact my own GP who then would be able to get in touch with my consultant up at the hospital.
I just wondered has anyone else had this problem and was told it was a normal process as no-one has told me what happens after taking Esmya, only that my periods should start again within 4 weeks of stopping the medication?
Contraception :: Microgynon - Could I Be Pregnant
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 RepliesContraception :: No Bleeding On Microgynon 30 Pill
I 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 3 RepliesContraception :: No Period After Messing Up Microgynon Pill
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...

I'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.

Contraception :: Depo-provera Coming Off It
I took 2 doses (injections) of depo last summer. The first month into it I bled for 2-3 weeks and then slight spotting here and there up until september. My last shot was in September and then I decided to not go back for another dosage. Ever since last September I have not seen a period until late June. Ever since that period I had a period every 2 to 3 weeks. Is this normal or should I see my primary doctor? Also I've had a coloscopy in May so this might have been another factor. My last visit to the doctor a nurse told me it might take months or a year for my periods to go back to normal. Any one had a similar experience of periods coming every 2 to 3 weeks after depo?

Can anyone tell me if dizzy spells are a side effect of coming off Citalopram. I have been reducing from 10mg to 5mg for the last 2 weeks and it has been going ok with a few moments of anxiety. But tonight I had to pull over on my way home after becoming dizzy at the wheel. Is this normal or might it be something else?
View 6 RepliesRamipril :: Side Effects
I am a 47 year old male (right weight for height) and reasonably fit running three times a week who has recently had to visit the doctor (first time in years) for severe neck pain caused by strenuous gardening work -so called leisure.
However my blood pressure was checked over the past few weeks and has found to be continuously very high ranging 190/115 to 150/90. My GP has decided to put me on ramipril starting with 2.5mg increasing to 5 mg and then 10mg over six weeks. On reading the comments about side effects I am really concerned which has now possibly increased my blood pressure further - really concerned on what to do, should I get a second opinion through my private medical before starting this treatment?
