Pain in the butt symptoms and conditions

Hi. I got mirena three weeks ago, and I had a little discomfort after getting it put in, which some ibuprofen took care of. I haven't had any pain since then. I just start bleeding recently, its a pain in the butt, but not a big deal. I know I haven't had mine in as long as other women on this message board has, but i am not having as many problems, maybe I will in the months to come, but for now Im not. But for the women who are thinking about getting it, just remember, ALL WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT. Just because these women have had problems doesn't mean YOU WILL! I had to say that, because when I start reading these messages, it scared the crap out me! Just take it with a grain of salt, get informed, and talk to your doctor and decide for yourself.

I have now finished my fourth month on Loestrin 24Fe. Still no period. Prior to being on it, I was on Seasonale--now, sure it's great not getting your period for 3 months, but that is another side effect page! Since switching to LoE24, for the first 2 months I had CRAZY mood swings and 6 out of the 8 signs of peri-menopause (I'm only 37). I did find out that Seasonale has a higher dosage of hormones and LoE 24 has less.

When I first switched, I LOVED the Loestrin--it made me feel so much more alive and like me again from the Seasonale. After two weeks, I started the "yogurt-like" discharge that went on for two months--no, not a yeast infection or anything, just weird hormonal stuff according to my doctor. After the two months, the discharge and the major mood swings went away all of a sudden, I was just fine one day and those symptoms have gone. Still, no period...it's been four months and 6 pregnancy tests. Now, I'm still a little moody but I'm not sure if it is pill related or frustration at not knowing what is wrong.

A girlfriend of mine loved this pill, so I guess everyone is different.

I just started my second months on Yaz. My doctor prescribed it due to ovarian cysts. I have not used BCP for almost 10 years. I have now had my period for 8 days. Prior to Yaz I had a period for about 3-4 days, heavy with some bad cramps but then it was over. This is light bleeding but the consistency is like paste and it seems non-stop and its just a pain in the butt. Its effecting my sex life.

On the upside - milder cramps, PMS week was better, less tender breasts, less water retention. So far my sex drive is undiminished. If that is effected, I'll stop taking them. The pharmaceutical companies can go push rope. 10 years ago my doctor swore my decreased libido was all in my head. I quit the BCP and guess what? I was like a kid again. Yes, BCPs are convenient but not at the cost of enjoying sex.

Hi,
I wanted to post this link just to give some small consolation to our concerns about the lack of awareness THAT DOCTORS HAVE ABOUT SINGULAIR.This is a voluntary online informational site,that doctor's can join. It provides updated information on serious label changes and safety concerns on drugs.Most doctors at this point still get snail mail updates,in the paper shuffle a lot of information gets misplaced.The AMA would like to have all information come in online,eventually.The link is ******
read it and tell me if you think more can be done By the way my pediatricians office does not have online communication.Our life is forever changed because of that ! Information is playing a vital role in this drugs destructive path ,or the lack there of information.Again this is voluntary for the Doctors to sign up .In this modern day of communication how does important information not get where it is the most useful, I ask you?When drugs are making multi billion dollar profits,that would be an educated guess.I am doing another interview with CBS affiliate out of Boston on the 23rd of June,they contacted me.I hope it will reach more people who are still unaware of this drugs serious potential side effects.If any of you parents have some connection to media ,please use it to your best advantage to get this very important information out to the publicAlso so many of you ask how to help.Contact your local Senators and keep bothering them to reach out to the FDA to expedite this investigation. Make a pain in the butt out of yourself and be persistent.I will try to make reference to this site so your stories are heard. Dave and I are coming up on a year since our son passed on to our lord .Still fighting Kate and Dave M.

I think what a lot of people are posting here are more side effects of thyroid conditions rather than side effects of thyroid medication. After my RAI treatment I started on a generic brand of levothyroxine. I even got my doctor to let me try Armour Thyroid since many people do well with it rather than Synthroid. Armour didn't work well for me, but it definitely is the only way to go for some people. After months of misery, things finally smoothed out. I was a royal pain in the butt to my doctor because I questioned everything. The biggest side effect for me going from hyper to hypo was edema. A clinical name for water retention. It wasn't so much the bloated feeling that bugged me. It was the pain in my hands and feet from the water retention. I have never, ever had a problem with carpal tunnel syptoms even though I have always used my hands a lot for work and I play the guitar. I had to add a small dose of dieuretic to control the edema and relieve the hand and feet pain. Sometimes it does flair up depending upon what I eat and how much I sweat, but that's what goes along with this type of illness. It's not just a magic pill that makes you feel "back to normal". You have to be demanding of your doctor to try other things to get you to feel right. You even have to pay attention to how you feel at different times of the year to figure out how to adjust what you take, eat, or do to feel better. I have noticed that with all things remaining constant, how I feel in terms of energy level and edema is related to the season. The body is weird that way. I still have side effects from the treatment from time to time, but I finally figured out what seems to work best for me. Maybe things could change over time, but I've learned that medicine just doesn't have a black and white treatment plan that works the same for everyone for thyroid related conditions. To sum it up, question everything your doctor tells you, demand to try things that you think would help you feel right, pay attention to what your body is telling you and adjust, and fire your doctor if they treat thyroid problems as black and white. Your doctor is not the one suffering from the condition, you are. It's your life and there's nothing wrong with being demanding about wanting to feel right.

I don't know if this counts as a side effect or not.
I stopped taking Yasmin on the 6th of October and got my period on the 11th of October. I want to try and have a baby but I don't know what is going on with my body. It is now the 9th of November and no period. I don't know if my period is delayed or not, or if I am pregnant.
I went to the doctor last week to see if I was pregnant and the blood test results came back negative. So I am guessing that my side effect is that my period has not returned because I don't think that I am pregnant.
This is very frustrating because I want to concieve and my period is not present and I can't determine when I ovulate so this is a pain in the butt.
That is my side effect of yasmin. You stop it withdraw bleed and then your body is out of wack for ages and no sign of period which makes you think that you are pregnant. But then again maybe I am and I don't know it!

I have only been on it one day. Alot of the side effects many of you mentioned I had on ortho-tri cyclen. The moodiness, the depression, the bloating, the incredibly sore boobs, AND, despite it's clinically proven to clear up moderate to mild acne, I was actually breaking out and getting oily the week before my period, sometimes 2 weeks before. The side effects were just awful. I took ortho tri for 7 years, and it's been the last 2 or 3 years w/ these side effects. BUT, I also take an anti-depressant on a regular basis as well as a very mild tranquilizer for when I am extremely anxious, and I have IBS w/ constipation as well as regular headaches, irregular sleeping patterns, etc. LOL there are a lot of things wrong with me I guess!! ... so never really knew if these were actual side effects or just my body being a pain in the butt!! Anyways ... like I mentioned, just started Yasmin, and hopefully because the hormones remain the same levels throughout the 3 weeks before my period, I won't have those side effects that I had on Ortho tri.
