Can you be eight weeks pregnant to take the medical pill?
I'm not completely sure what you mean by this question, but here's my answer:
If you have been taking a contraceptive (birth control) pill while pregnant, there will probably be little or no side effects.
If you are asking if you can take other medications while pregnant, this would depend on exactly what medication it is you are taking. You should consult your doctor or a pharmacist to find out what effects your medications could have on your unborn baby.
Can going off the pill make your period late?
Yes, your period can be late when coming off hormonal birth control pills.
Hormonal birth control works by suppressing your menstrual cycles so that you no longer ovulate and thus you also no longer menstruate - bleeding you experience on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. When you come off the pill your body has to regulate itself again and reestablish your menstrual cycle, it can take up to twelve months for cycles to regulate which can include late or absent periods the first three months. Remember too that your period won't come at the same time as your withdrawal bleeds.
Yes, and so can pregnancy resulting from going off the pill, so if you're at risk for pregnancy, get a pregnancy test.
How do you take the dosage of mt pill and misoprostol?
with the first pill you take it orally and the you can come back between 6 hours to three days although its best if you just return the next day and then with the misoprostol theres four pill which you have to put as far up in to your vagina as you can, after youve done this you then return back in 3 weeks for a check up.
If you do not take the course of pills as you are meant to then they will not necessarily protect you from becoming pregnant. If for some reason you do not take your pill then you must use a condom.
Yes. Anytime you change your normal routine while using hormonal birth control, breakthrough bleeding or spotting can occur. Depending on how many pills you took, it may last into your next period or may stop after just a few days - either would be considered a normal side effect.
Will taking birth control and different times of the day make a period late?
Yes. As directed by all doctors and on the instruction labels of all birth control pills, you are supposed to take your birth control everyday and at the same time. If you take your birth control at different times everyday, it is not allowing the birth control to adapt in your body the way it is supposed to and it decreases the effectiveness of the birth control as well. Some side effects of taking your pill at different times of each day may include: pregnancy, late/irregular periods, and spotting or breakthrough bleeding.
Can stopping the birth control pill affect your period?
When you stop taking the birth control, your period may change in a few ways. First, it will probably get a bit heavier and crampier again, reverting to the pattern it had before you started the pill. (Since the pill makes most women's periods lighter and less crampy, stopping it removes this benefit.) Second, your period may not have the same timing it had when you were on the pill. When you stop, your next period will come in 4-6 weeks.
Do you loose bladder control while on your period?
In my experience the answer to this question is no. If someone is having trouble with bladder control it may be something else, like a urinary tract infection or something more serious. I would advise anyone with this problem to speak with a doctor.
What happens if you just got your tongue pierced yesterday but you don't want it when can I take it?
If you don't want it at all, just remove the jewelery and let it heal back. Just be extra sure that you don't want it! It's a little early to give up on it so just try to stick it out a bit longer!
What happens if you take 5 birth control pills at once?
You shouldn't have done that. If you miss more than three (3) days, throw out the pack and start a new one.
Why would you get your period early if your on the pill?
Some women experience breakthrough bleeding while on The Pill - most commonly in the first 3 months.
Yes. The five years doesn't matter, and the antibiotics has less effect than the missed pills. Taking the morning after pill might be an option. Take a pregnancy test no sooner than 10 days after the accident. Talk to your health care provider about options. If you miss pills often, another method might be easier for you.
Can you get pregnant if he uses a condom goes in and comes out with out cuming?
Condoms are not 100%, more of the 80-90% range. And pre-ejaculation which can happen within seconds of stimulation has sperm in it.
Why did you get your period 2 days after stopping your pill?
That's normal. Just as stopping the active pills (typically after three weeks) leads to period-like withdrawal bleeding, stopping your birth control pills at any time in the cycle may lead to period-like withdrawal bleeding.
Can you skip a month of birth control pills?
Yes, but it is not recommended. If you do decide to skip your birth control for a month be sure to use a back-up method such as condoms, to prevent pregnancy because all the hormones from the birth control will be depleted from your system. Skipping your birth control may also cause unwanted side effects as well, such as: late or irregular periods, or spotting or breakthrough bleeding. When you do begin taking you birth control again, be sure to wait at least 2 months before you have unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. It is not good to skip your birth control or take frequent breaks either. If you do find that the pill is not for you, you should consult your doctor to find a method that is better for you.
Can you get pregnant while on the pill and taking an antibiotic?
Yes you can! Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the birth control pill. Many pregnancies have resulted in this way. Use a second form of birth control, such as a condom, while you are taking the antibiotic.
Why is it bad to have your period for more that one week?
You could lose a lot of blood, which is never good... Especially if you have a heavy flow... You should probably see a doctor or something...
