Recently I am taking Microgynon 30 to ease my period. But I experience nausea, sometime suddenly want vomit. And I feel fatigue and lose appetite too. Is this normal?

I was prescribe with 2 different brands of pills by my doctor. One to take in the morning and another before bed. I think it is too much as taking bcp is not really a good thing. I started to doubt the credibility of the doctor. Anyone got idea?

QUOTE(spunkberry @ Apr 2 2016, 10:29 AM) Are you sure that's BC? BC is once a day at the same time. Yes. I checked online. Microgynon 30 and Lotte 50. I was prescibe after a small surgery to remove a small growth in my left ovary. The doctor said the pill is to stop my period because if the period come, the growth will come back. Anyway, is there anyway I can make sure the doctor is a genuine one? I go to his clinic once a month for periodical check up. But almost all the time he need to insert the scope into my private part which I doubt it is necessary.

QUOTE(spunkberry @ Apr 2 2016, 07:48 PM) I'm not sure you're supposed to be taking BC that often, but you don't need to see the gyno every month either. You see the gyno once a year unless you have complications. I have stop visiting the gynae coz i feel like being taken advantages. I ask him make a full medical report so that i can find another gynae but util today after a month he is still reluctant to give me my report. I cant just visit another gynae without previous report as i got surgery before.

QUOTE(spunkberry @ Apr 2 2016, 07:58 PM) Find another gyne, and you don't need the report. You just need to tell the new gyne the details of the surgery. Did you tell your gyne why you wanted the report? That's probably why he's not giving it to you. Yes I did. He said he will send by email but im still waiting. Thats why i lost confidence with him. He dont even show professional. Do you know any female gynae around pj area? I getting sick with male gynae. Sorry.

Shah Alam is abit far for me. I will look around PJ area, should be fine. I have stop the pills now my period has started to regulate back. The only problem is I am worry if the things will come back.

QUOTE(spunkberry @ Jun 3 2017, 12:27 AM) Nope. Haven't experienced it at all, and I've been on BCP since 2010 U mean u never have a break time except the 7days break? I had it for more about a year now. Last week I suddenly got rapid heart beat and short breath. I checked on the leaflet it say BCP may increase the risk of heart disease. So worry.

QUOTE(karyan06 @ Oct 25 2017, 02:34 PM) 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. 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.

Recently I have switched from Microgynon 30 to Yasmin. That’s because I heard that Yasmin can help to clear acne beside pregnancy protection, and its progesterone content are more tolerable by our liver. Anyone had experience with Yasmin before? Mind to share?
