no I've never heard of mercilon so I can't give you a comment about it. it's the only brand? what have you tried?

I take mine at night too, at the same time

I tried Diane before but makes me headache dizzy. Then change to this no problem so continue using it. Ya Mercilon is d brand name..

well I meant, it's the only brand that makes you feel nauseous? you've only tried Diane other than that?

yeah thats d only brand.. Yeah after Diane I tried Mercilon. Then this one didnt make me nausea so I continue using it.

that's a good idea

Yeap! =)

Say your partner is on condoms, is it still neccesary to go on the pills?

my gf started to take birth control pill, but seems her libido decreased. Any recommendations of what action should be taken to gain her libido back?

it is not necessary to take two methods of birth control at the same time, though it is a good precaution.

decreased libido is a side effect of the pill. there are two options: herbal enhancers (which may or may not work), or change the pill to a lower dosage.

my bb is on yasmin 21 for nearly one year ++
1)she just on new pack of yasmin, go for unprotected sex after 3 days of new pack...is this safe? i'm worried of course but when i asked her she said nothing to be worried!

2) just finish one pack of yasmin 21...but period didn't come after 7 days. Normal?? Again, told me nothing worried...

of coz i'm worried!!

1) Your girlfriend has been on the pill for over a year and she still can't read simple instructions? when you start a new pack, you CANNOT have unprotected sex until SEVEN days after you start!

2) If you had unprotected sex 3 days after she started a new pack, congratulations and happy father's day.

Hi,sorry,but would like to clarify a few things. So basically BCP is taken BEFORE if u wanna have a month of unprotected sex.

And EC is for us that accidentally had unprotected sex?

And also,I'm aware that BCP is a 21 days pill. What about EC?? one-time pill or what?

I no longer log into LYN often and I forgot to ask this: Did she start the pill on the first day of her period?

BCP is taken every day at approximately the same time, and started before you have unprotected sex yes.
EC is for "oops I had unprotected sex last night" yes.

EC is a one-time pill.

Thank u so much for the reply! Any recommendation on brands for EC?

I don't think you should be worrying about what BRAND the EC pill is going to be, since the fact that you need EC means you have bigger things to worry about. They all function the same way.

If you want to worry about brands, you worry about BCP because there are a million different types out there

Hi all..
Me myself just took the postinor2 pill..
Anything that I can do like having Chinese medicine such as bird's nest drink and blabla... To get rid of the drug contain from body?
As my knowledge, it's still drugs, and although it's the first one I took.. Still it's bad for us-- girl's body..

yes, i do have to agree with spunkberry. malaysians are really so narrow minded. every time someone mentioned bcp, they'll go, there's side effects and it'll affect your fertility in the future. i trust my doctor. i went to a gynae and he gave me a prescription for it. if it's dangerous, i believe the pill wouldn't even be approved of in the first place.

then don't take antibiotics. don't take antihistamines. don't take any sort of medication because those are all drugs that are bad for your girl's body

it's very annoying, yes. The pill has been around since the 1950s and the world's population is still increasing ... so OBVIOUSLY the effects of the pill are not as detrimental as uneducated-about-the-pill malaysian girls seem to think. EVERYTHING you take as medication has a side effect, not just the Pill. Have you (not you in particular, @nn@nn) ever read the side effects on your benadryl box? Your antihistamine box?

Medication for Heartburn. Side effects include vomiting, migraines, indigestion... etc.

How come women only worry about the pill's side effects? Why worry about fertility so much if people who don't want to have children anyway? Do they still have to take care of their ovaries?
*eyeroll*

hello, i am off to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) for a 2 week business trip. will there be any available birth control pills like Marvelon in the pharmacy without my gyne's prescription?

thanks for your help!

I am very interested to know country you're living in if you are able to get a hormone-altering pill such as the BCP without a prescription.
That should be made illegal and is dangerous if used incorrectly.

You can get the emergency contraceptive pill without a prescription. Not the pack.
