Yes, you can. Welcome to Malaysia.

Dude, that was a post from 3 years ago.

There'll still be people asking unfortunately. But, yeah.....I just woke up when I replied that.

Still, 3 years ago, 10 years ago, now....all the same. Welcome to Malaysia

BCP? Or Plan B? Because the latter is not BCP.

my GP give me prescription , Microgyn

i am clueless but i thought i want something like Dianette or Yaz , heard they clear your skin too... but many blood clot problem faced by women in the EU and UK...

i am gonna try microgyn for 1 month

I recommend giving it two months. one month isn't enough to properly evaluate a pill. Also, brands don't matter.

yea but those brand represent different contents... what i meant is that.

microgyn - ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, wonder why my doctor give me this

instead of dianette (cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol) or Yaz (Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol) , which many dermatologist used for treating adult acne

BCP in general helps with acne because you can opt to skip your periods.

Your gynae prescribe you BCP for adult acne? I doubt 1 month is enough to see results.

I was prescribe Diane35 for a small cyst and hormonal acne. Gynae told me need about 6 months to a year. Didn't really like the idea of taking BCP for acne cause I've heard many will get their acne back after they stop, so I took for 3 months. Acne got much much better after the 2nd month or so. So far acne not as bad as before but the scars are recovering slowly. Switched to omega-3 supplement and lifestyle changes for the acne.

but reading from superdrug website some actually risk to give you acne instead

the two brands i mentioned are widely being prescribed by dermatologist. but Diane35/Dianette is banned in France now, as many reported to have blood cod problems while taking it

oh... i am also using supplement so far... my prescription already reach my local clinic lol... have not go and pick it up yet my gynea ask me to take first day of period...

Like I said, you can't use brand names. Each woman's reaction to birth control is unique. What works for you, may not work for me etc. I wish people in Malaysia would stop being so obsessed about the brand name. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT MATTERS IS YOUR REACTION TO IT. I could recommend all the brand names in the world to you, but if you have a bad experience with it, what's the point?

Give it two months, and for f***'s sake, listen to your gyne's prescription instructions! You're not the one with the medical degree!

as i said different brand names different chemical used. i am not concern about the brand names, just the brand name represents what the contents is i.e. v ia gra is also just a brand name that has many competitors that have same purpose but different combination of drugs/chemical used, which, the chemical names would be too long to type out. and different chemical would have different function in general, although as u said, its also some individual factors, like women who had different medical history would not be prescript to certain brands because these brands contain a certain chemical/hormone. i thought i made my point pretty clear by stating my previous post
microgyn (yes brand names but shorter, easier no?) - contained of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, generally levonorgestrel as stated by NHS more than 60% of woman reacted to this hormone by popping adult acne.

while, dianette (cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol) or Yaz (Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol), Yes both brand names but again my point is, the Ethinyl or the smaller molecular extracted ethinylestradiol, as referred to NHS Stat more than 80% woman reported to have their skin improved after taken that, and it is well-known for not just gynea but also dermatologist to prescribe this for the purpose of pimples. also, please do not because of your misunderstanding of my intention, you generalized 28millions malaysians to be obsessed with "brand names", what more, I am only holding Malaysia PR, I am born and raised in Singapore, spent half my life in UK.

i do not doubt the doctor, but this NHS GP who had saw my adult acne problem on the same day of my visit and prescribed me zineryt solution, also give me a contraceptive pill that contain ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel , got my wonder a bit why he's not giving me the one that contain cyproterone acetate or the one that contain ethinylestradiol or the Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol. - ok no brand names

NHS GP .. if he's a medical student, or student nurse in practice, get a second opinion but that is if u have access money to go for the privates at Bond Street.

anyway I think this is not like cancer or something, if u very concern with microgyn's contain to risk you to pop more zits (i 101% understand your concern!) then toss it away, sell it?lol or give it to someone else, and request for other brand that contained different hormones combinations, but i guess u know too NHS won't give u unless u finish your course and go thru evaluation. u can just pay around 25 quid for Yaz at superdrug site.

You say you don't doubt the doctor, yet you're reading all these ingredients in the pill, looking up all these statistics from NHS, and are undoubtedly coming across to me as someone who thinks they know better than someone with a medical license. So do what you think is best

I don't really consider Singapore's attitude to be very much different from Malaysia. Sure, my mistake for generalizing you with the rest of the gang. I apologize for that.

I've gotten two months worth of Yasmin 21 pack and started the first pill today, which is the 7th day since my menstruation started. I'm visitng my boyfriend this November 17, is it alright to assume that it is okay for him to uhm ejaculate inside? Thank you c:

Is there a reason why you didn't start it on Sunday?

You should be fine for Nov 17 as long as you take the pill at the same time every day without fail.

My gyno suggested me to take it on the day I got it since I have only a one month time frame before I leave here.

That's fine. just make sure you take it at the same time every day. It's also not a good idea to only take it when you go to see him, because the hormonal changes will mess up your body. Either you always take the pill, or you don't take the pill at all.

Alright, thank you x

me and my gf have unprotected sex since april (not even using natural way, yup, i know, don't know what got into our head), we were very worry at first every month during her period time and felt relieve when she got it, but then the visit to GP kinda go dragging and dragging n now it's November already and she's hasnt got pregnant, but she finally visited the GP and got prescribed with combined pills, but then we r starting to worry another thing, is either one of us infertile. hence, she hasnt start taking the pill, and wanting to schedule a visit to a gynea to run fertility test, so is me. n i think those contraception pills she got, no need already. i plan to propose this end of the month.
