Docotr symptoms and conditions

Reading your comments has really put my mind at easy. I'm 23 and on day 4 of my third pack. My first month I got a regular period, but I didn't get a period during my second month on the pill (which means that I am a little over a week late right now). In the past I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen and Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and my period has always been on time. And in the 10 years that I've been having a period, it occasionally been early, but never late, and I have never once missed a period.

I've spend the last couple days terrified that I was pregnant (even though I have consistently been taking my pill at the same time every day), but this forum makes me feel a lot better. I think that I will still go out and take a home pregnancy test to be on the safe side, but hopefully my missed period is just my body's reaction to Loestrin.

I will give my body a couple more months to adjust to the pill, but if irregular, late or missed periods continue I am definitely going to switch birth control pills. It is not worth the anxiety of thinking I might be pregnant.

On the bright side, I haven't experienced any of the other side effects that you guys are mentioning. This pill has helped with my cramps, and I haven't experienced any change at all in my moodiness, energy level, acne, or weight.

Here's a question- What are we supposed to say to our doctors to take this seriously and stop treating it like it's in our heads. Should they check our hormone levels? Have any doctors or nurses ever posted here?

My daughter was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for a year for ache, with no side effects. Last summer her doctor prescribed Loestrin 24. She experinced acid reflux and anxiety. Her docotr switched her to Femcon Fe. Her mood swings became more pronounced, her anxiety increased, her face broke out in ache.
he started crying over little things. I can't take it anymore.

For the first time since my doctor perscribed Lupron for me, it has been terrible. The heavy bleeding, the anemia, the hair loss, the aches and pains, the headaches. I never had this problem in times past when I've used this before and it did not affect me to this magnitude. I have a history of endometriosis and fibroids, with 7 "lap scopes" and a myomectomy. I cannot explain why I've had such a terrible time with the injection this time.

I was prescribed Doxycycline for a urinary infection and have a peptic stomach. After one tablet the drug had my stomach so upset I had to eat constantly to keep from being doubled over in pain. After the fourth tablet I called my doctor and stated I could no longer take Doxycycline. The doctor then prescribed another antiobiotic. It still took almost two weeks for my stomach to settle down, but is still very susceptable to being upset between meals. I am also have more trouble with being constipated or having I was prescribed Doxycycline for a urinary infection and have a peptic stomach.

A very bad experience.. A very bad experience.

hi all,
quest 36376, i am not sure what the verification email thing is all about,please try to register again it may just be a glitch,i will look into it for you.
i think some of the ladies have gone straight onto other pills but not sure which. i had an email from a lady the other day saying that she was put onto a high dose pill after yasmin as her Dr said yasmin had messed up her system by dropping her hormones too low.she said she felt fantastic on the older higher dose pill. may be something to research???

guest 36377,
i have no medical training at all just my own personal experience. i only had an ecg,my docotr agreed to do it after much pestering,i was sat at my pc one day when i felt really light headed and my vision went,my heart started to race then flop about in my chest like jelly,i seriously thought i was about to die! the nurse rigged up my ecg and she saw something (to this day i have no idea what) and she went to get my Gp who took a look at the tracing and just said it was just anxiety nothing to worry about and he sent me on my way. i find the flopping sensation and the palpitations are worse when i am tired or if i eat anything really sweet or if i have to many carbs. the chest pain comes along a day or 2 before my period and feels almost like i have been punched or have a cracked rib,sometimes i cannot get a full breath if that makes sense. i take a daily supplemet of magnesium,vitamin b6,b12 and zinc as well as calcium. calcium can be very good for the heart and muscles. i had chest pain when i was on yasmin,it was a stabbing sensation,now it is just a dull ache a couple of days a month. i have been off yasmin for 8 months. hope that helps a little. please try not to worry too much, i know it is scary but stress will make your heart beat more irregular.

guest 36378.
thank-you so much for your kind words,i hope that the new forum will be of great help to all ladies who want to post there and share their experience. we are yasmin survivors because we are looking for answers and we are fighting back!

best wishes to you all.

Hi ladies. I weighed 117-118 lbs. when I first started on the nuvaring. Within 7-8 months, I gained about 10 lbs, and have grown 2 breast cup sizes from a 34 A+ to a 34 C+. I have been off the nuvaring since last August because I left them at home since I moved to England. I stopped using all sorts of brith control and my husband does not ejaluate in me.

I now swell every month and gain nearly another cup size. My hands are swollen and my body aches, particualrly my knees and feet. While on the NR, I worked out like a freak, 60 minutes or more of cardio 5-6 days a week and did weights to maintain my muscle mass. My stomach was cut, but I was still gaining weight and no matter what I did, the weight just kept creeping up.

I tried on my wedding dress in April and purchased it. By JUly, I couldn't zip it up because my breasts were so huge. I even got my period early, such as on the day before my wedding! I wasn't supposed to start for another week! I had to get off the NR and I am still experincing negative effects.

My cousin is a PA and recommended that I have my doctor perform these exams on my blood: Estradiol, progesterone, PSH, Free T3, T4, CMP, testosterone, and to have a pelvic ultrasound. I think that contraceptive really screwed me up.

I hope this helps someone out there. I am setting up my appointment with the docotr or nurse tomorrow. This is unhealthy and abnormal for me so I hope to get to the bottom of this soon.

My 2 year old was prescribed this medicine for an ear infection after 3 previous bouts of antibiotics didn't clear up the infection. He seemed okay for the first 3 days, but at 1am on day four he woke up screaming and vomiting. He had very watery stools, and was sleepy. Later in the day I noticed a raised red dash on his legs, back and face. I wish I had seen these postings last week before the docotr suggested we try Omnicef!

Im only 14 years old.I have High BP.I also have Polycystic Kidney Disease.I started taking BP Pills when I was young.Just last week I went to the Docotr and she switched my medication to Lisinopril 10mg.I havent had these side effects yet but Im so afraid that I will.I try to stay active and I don't want the feelings that are described in here.I told my mom about all the side effects other people are having because of this medication and she ruses to believe me and says i must keep taking the medication.She makes sure I take it.See I havent had these side effects yet.I take my pill ever night at 10 pm.Does it matter if you take it in the monring or at night?If any one would like to contact me my email is ****** .Thank you so much for this site.

I just startred this med. 160MG... I thought i was going to die.

Could not control a muscle in my body. Slurred speech, cause my tounge was stickling out of my mouth most of the day. I countered it with some beneadryl, and was able to finally get some sleep.

Docotr reduccing the dose. hope that helps/

hey dianiella and all the newbies "intelligence lies in learning from others experience,everone wud learn from theres".and my experience as with manys says that trying to find any releif for asthma/allergies or thinking to do away with side effects of the steriod/antibiotic medication ,from the conventional western medication system is like trying to grip sand in ur hands,the more u try the more it slips.ok the western/allopathic docotr has already done the best he can.now take for granted that theres no use from him.
my years long browsing/research says that one shud try
1)chiropractic if he is in USA and has insurance cover or is willing to pay big ammounts.i ahvent persoanlly tried it but from may messages from peoplelike me i did find it has some relevance.
2)homeopathy.the mystery medication.but it takes long time to find complete releif/long time because already our systems are toxicated.the system works stepwise and the first symptoms to leave the body wud be the deadly side effects we already have.i am willing to writemore if one is interested.

above all i want to say that every on neednot go trugh the time taking ardious task of researc and finding the right cure.disease or watever we all r united and each persons experince is like a valuable source of information which wud have been gathered by years of brain storming.so let us unite and make this ordeal a healthy one.

Are there any natural alternatives to taking Maxide? I'm sick of having to check with my docotr just to get a prescription refilled after six months! When I try to stop taking Maxide, I get fluid retention in various places of my body, like knees, elbows etc. Very painful. I take Maxide just for lfuid retention, not for blood pressure.

Both my left arm and lower left leg feels "numb". It comes and goes, but goes away if I stop taking the pills. My docotr thinks there is nothing wrong with me. I have this problem with both Prilosec and Omeprazole. Taking since November 02'
