Nice thing symptoms and conditions

I had a Mirena IUD placed at my follow up appointment after my second child in November of 2004. I feel that I have had excellent results from this form of birth control. The strings disappeared after I had it in for about a year. They had to do a few sono's to see if it was still in place. It was but I had developed an ovarian cyst that didn't go away. I ended up getting it surgically removed and found out that this is a side effect of Mirena. the cyst caused me no pain and the only reason I knew it was there is because of the sono's. I will not have surgery again unless it is highly recommended by my doctor. I just had a new one placed this month. It was more painful to place than I remembered it being. The cramping lasted for almost 24 hours. I have had no periods since before my youngest son was born....he's 5 now. I have had it for so long I don't know if the problems that I have are related to Mirena. I am obese. I have been obese my entire adult life so that is nothing new. I do have a hard time losing weight but I don't believe it has anything to do with Mirena. My hair is thicker since starting Mirena. I do have some skin problems but most of them have been with me for more than 10 years (seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea). I have a history of depression...so nothing new there. I have varicose veins...a result of my obesity, heredity, and working on my feet all the time w/o support hose. I am 34 years old, married, and do not plan to have any more children. I plan to continue using Mirena until menopause. I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED with Mirena and I am sorry for those of you that are having problems with it. I hope you find a method of birth control that works for you. Sexual freedom is a nice thing for a woman to have.

i had a merina inserted about 2 weeks ago and i had nothing but trouble since it was put in i got terrible cramping not long after it was inserted and the bleeding was shocking i then developed a yeast infection which lasted for a whole week and nothing touched it it was terrible..
it wasn't till last fri that i got shocking pains and could not urinate with out feeling immence pain..
my friend took me to the emergency hospital and they informed me it may be infected..
after 4 attempts it was finally removed and lucky it was as it was starting to embed itself into my cervix and much of the string was left for them to retrieve it..
my advice to any one is not to get this mirnea it is not a very nice thing

I started taking Trivora in June, 2008. I had to stop taking it after 2-1/2 weeks because I was extremely hungry, tired and was had gained 5 to 7lbs during the 2.5 weeks (same systems as if you were really pregnant). The only very nice thing about Trivora was that my boobs looked great!!! I am a b-cup and it went up to a full "C". Of'course that was probably due to the weight/water gain. I didn't feel good at all. I have never taken this type of birth control pill. I took it because it was an alternative to the name brand birth control pills that I normally take. I made a bad decision in getting these pill because I was saving money. I am not sexually active but, I wanted my periods to be regulated. Boy... I should have never made the decision to switch my name brand. On another positive note... my period for the month of June was very light, painless and short. However... my period for the month of July... still has not arrived. It feels like I am going to start but, I never do. Keep in mind... I am not sexually active... and I have never, ever missed a period aside from my two children that are 17 and 12 years old. I know that the Trivora pill has caused a side effect that I was not expecting. Since taking the pill I have gained approx. 10lbs in one month. Feeling bloated all the time because my period still has not started is something that no one wants. Yes... I feel depressed, stomach pains, nausea and I have frequents headaches. I would not recommend this pill to anyone. Hopefully my period will start so I can feel normal and not retaining water and have a constant bloating feeling.

I've been taking Yasmin for 2 1/2 months now, and since I've started taking it, I wake up with incredible amounts of hair on my pillow, and whenever I run my fingers through my hair, I'll have 5-10 strands in my hand. On top of that (which is the worst side effect), I've been extremely depressed, I have NO energy, in the short time that I have been taking it I have gained close to 10 pounds when previously I was losing weigh very steadily, I have been experiencing what feels like growing pains in my legs, and patches of dry skin on my arms. The only nice thing about this pill for me is the completely cramp-free periods and my face clearing up, which are nice, but don't make this pill worth it for me.

Omnicef is actually one antibiotic my 2 year old has little trouble with. The red stools are alarming but at least they are solid. Currently he's on Augmentin which has caused horrible rash and loose stools.
The other nice thing about Omnicef is the dosing schedule.Usually once or twice daily depending on the infection. The 3x daily with Augmentin is way too much stress for me to bear,and for him even more so. Seeing his poor little red butt makes me cry with him. Since the two drugs can be used for the same infections, I will be asking for the Omnicef first from now on. Omnicef seems to clear his infections very quickly. The Docs really should forewarn about the red stools though, they are quite scary,even though they are typically harmless.

Hi Flowerbabies, I posted here before about a couple of weeks ago and you were very kind to respond. I am off Yasmin 2 months now and I got my second period there on saturday and the anxiety came back with a bang, The horrible thoughts I had back when Yasmin really effected me started up again over the weekend, it wasnt as bad this time because I think I am able to handle it better. But it really is not a nice thing at all, is this normal for it to come and go around that time of the month, please help I would be very grateful from anyone on this site if they had any advice. Talk to you soon. Does it ever go away for good, I feel so weak for lettting this get to me.

This message is for Donna who was looking for positive effects of Xanax. I only take 1 pill (.5 )or half a pill (.25)when needed and don't take another pill that day. It totally calms me down and makes me relax without any weird side effects. If I'm tired, the xanax will make me more tired so don't take it then. Also, don't drink any alcohol when taking xanax. Really use it when needed. I take mine when I'm flying in an airplane, a social function and when the kids are real fired up at home an can't settle down. Oh, don't forget when you have tons of company for the holidays. Xanax is a nice thing to keep on hand if you tend to get anxious from time to time - but don't abuse it. Never take more than one pill a day - and don't take one every day!
