can add Natural Methods in? withdrawal and abstinence.

http://www.sexualityandu.ca/birth-control/...natural_methods

I have been using this methods, and touch wood so far no accident yet.

but got another worry... that I'm actually infertile *touch wood x999*

by the way, an extraction from the link:-

A woman who has a regular menstrual cycle will usually experience the following sequence of events:

- 3 to 7 days of menstruation
- several days where she does not feel or see mucus in her vagina or on her vulva
- several days of a ‘wet’ or ‘slippery’ sensation at her vulva or in the vagina where she sees and/or feels mucus, which becomes progressively more slippery, stretchy, and clear as ovulation approaches
- after ovulation her waking temperature rises, mucus disappears from the vulva, and the vulva and vagina feel “drier"

the bold part... I somehow felt right after my 5 days of menses, I immediately got fluid, no dryness days... which am so confused.

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.

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

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.

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 icon_rolleyes.gif
