According to my doctor, the "period" (it's not a real period anyway) is just to make you feel better about it. It isn't necessary.

But yes, I recommend you see a doctor about your questions. We are not medically trained.

Planning to go on two weeks holidays with my boyfriend, and I need prevention. According to my app, my period will be coming on the second week of our holidays. So, I don't think Marvelon or Diane will work for me (these pills need to be taken during my period). Now, I'm looking into emergency contraceptive pills/morning after pills or Norcolut (delay period).

Should I buy/consume morning after pills for 14 days in a row? I know it's highly not recommended but I have friends who do that, so I'm just putting this out there. Or, should I stick to Norcolut? Since the pharmacist at Watson did told me that this will help delay my period (with low chance of getting pregnant) and can take the morning after pill while I'm on Norcolut.

Any advice?

Thanks

ask your bf to be responsible and put on a rubber la... too much morning after have bad side effects la

Everyone has their own preferences, whether they like to use "rubber" or not. Obviously I know using "rubber" is the best (well, most recommended) method for prevention. But, I'd like to explore other alternatives without using the "rubber" method, which is why I'm asking here.

you shoud've started at least Nordette for a month.

Anyway Norclut will work fine. I took it years ago, for about 4 days lah. Worked. No idea about if it prevented pregnancy and what not, as that wasn't my purpose anyway.

Think about BC as well now. Low dosages like Nordette work, but it's bit old skool so there may be weight gain. Diane 35 has a very high progesterone content; it affects different people differently as does Yaz.

You've been taking pills for so many times, time for ur bf to use rubber once in a while. share responsibility. Too much pills very bad for your hormone regulation. PCOS or pregnancy difficulties may happen in future

Uhm, I've only taken two morning after pills (months apart) in my whole life, and we did use rubber also. And, I wouldn't be asking a single opinion from anyone if I or my boyfriend wasn't being responsible. Was he concerned I'll be taking so much morning after pill if I choose that method? Of course he is.

*sigh* Getting a little tired explaining myself and I'm only asking for advice who have experiences with these pills or this situation.

Ah I think I misunderstood, sorry Your first post sound like you're bearing this responsibility on your own maybe that's why the other replies are also in the same manner.
Coming back to ur q, I've never heard b4 of taking the morning pills 14 days in a row, sounds scary to me
But my gf tried before taking the pills only on the morning after sex, while also using a contraceptive patch, pretty useful - it releases synthetic estrogen and progestin hormones to prevent pregnancy

That's fine. Sorry aswell if I'm being defensive in my previous post.

Back to the topic, where can I buy those contraceptive patch? I've never had anyone (friends or family) using it before.

We bought it from a local pharmacy. Those selling meds not watsons etc

if you are on daily dose of Marvelon or Diane, just continue taking the next dose of Marvelon or Diane after 21 days without waiting the 7 days drug free periods to delay the menstrual. This way you will be protected too.

Unfortunately, I'm not using either and it's too late to use it now (since I will be on period during the second week of my holidays).

go clinic and get consultion from doctor or phamacist .
or eat a lot pineapple

Hi all, have been considering for a period of time whether or not to start taking pills out of some reasons:

1. I've heard pills can help to regulate menstrual cycle (mine is a little irregular, usually 3-10 days late)

2. Also heard pills can reduce menstrual pain which I experience every month...

3. Obviously as an added protection to stay worry free

Do I just go to regular clinic or better to go to hospital? And do I just have to mention that I'm getting pills or there are any checkups needed?
How much does it normally cost? Does it involve a lot of revisit to the doctor just to make sure I can plan the budget well.

Visit your gynecologist and ask about birth control. They will provide a prescription, and you just refill it whenever you need to. No checkups necessary, unless you are due for your annual.

Cost, I don't know, I'm not based in Malaysia. Your doctor can give you various options to fit your budget.

You need to visit a gynae before you start taking the pill. Firstly because not all women can take the same kind of pills. Secondly, beacuase the pills may have side effect if you take it for long period. This happen to me when I took it for almost a year (not for precaution but to control my endometriosis). My blood pressure increased due to shrinking of blood vessel.

I do not recommend pills. It will screw up your PMS. Next time when you want to have baby, it will be hard even after you stop taking the pills. There are also a lot of side effects that comes with pills.

I highly recommend external implant. Google for something called Nexplanon (improved version of Implanon). This implany is like a size of rice and is inserted into your arm. It has an efficacy period of 3 years in birth control. You can remove it anytime you want if you are having side effects from it or if you want to have a child. I don't know how much it is but it shouldn't be expensive.

There are side effects with every type of birth control, and all may have an impact on future childbearing. Might as well not take BC at all, if that's what you're worrying about.

did survey abt implant bc, realised clinic as well LPPKN r offering implanon.

Read some articles, and realised implanon no more available since 2010, now only have nexplanon.

Wondering why we still can get the older version of implant over here....
