Accepted Answer

When : When you are under stress (illness in your case) this can affect your hormones thus causing irregularities in your cycle. This often presents as spotting. Your period should follow shortly thereafter. If it does not, take a pregnancy test. If you are not pregnant then expect your period to normalize over the next few cycles.

Question 3

start a new pack of brevicon (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone). no period?

Accepted Answer

Check a PG test: Assuming that is negative, many pills do not build up enough tissue in the endometrium to cause a period and the way to show that is a pelvic ultrasound that I do in my patients to prove there are no problems. If that is normal you can either continue with the pills, as you do not have to have a period on the pills( many women like that) or switch to a higher dose pill to get periods.

Question 4

start a new pill called brevicon (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone). no period?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Presuming your not pregnant, it is not uncommon for some pills to suppress uterine lining proliferation so much that there is no significant sloughing at the end of the cycle and, therefor, no period.  "pill amenorrhea" as it is called, is normal and should not cause alarm.

Question 5

i started a new birth control called brevicon (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone). why am i not haveing a period at the end of the pack?

Accepted Answer

Low hormone dose: Brevicon (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone) is a very low estrogen dose pill that keeps the lining of the womb(endometrium) minimal. The "period" from that pill will be scant, brown, or non-existent normally.

Question 6

will  birth control pills called brevicon (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone) cause wieght gain?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: While weight gain is one of the reported side effects of oral contraceptives, it is most likely due to an increased ape titer and subsequent increased food intake that causes the weight gain.  The pill itself doesn't significantly change the basal metabolic rate and most weight changes with the pill are food intake related.

Question 7

how much weight will you gain on the birth control pill called brevicon (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone)?

Accepted Answer

It  varies: Average weight gain on most birth control pills is around one pound per year. If you want to avoid weight gain consider a drospirinone containing o.C.

Question 8

my period is due in 7 days and i would like to delay it.  can i start bc, progesterone, brevicon, (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone) depo shot?  i am not currently on any bc

Accepted Answer

Nothing effective: Assuming you are correct in your timing, the only thing that will delay your period is pregnancy. That is clearly not the solution you are looking for.  For future reference, you would need to start the pill, ideally, 2 months ahead of time and at least at the beginning of your cycle.

Question 9

what are the signs that you might have a cat allergy?

Accepted Answer

Sneezing.....: Runny nose, itchy nose and throat, nasal congestion, itchy and watery eyes, and possibly even cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

Question 10

my 15 month old has had croup twice in a month is this a sign of asthma or allergies?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: If your toddler's history is not consistent with croup, other diagnoses for stridor should be considered: stridor lasting for short durations (hours); stidor lasting longer than infectious period; stridor not associated with acute infection; severe episodes requiring emergency room visits or hospitalizations; progressively more severe or frequent episodes of croup; choking or gagging before onset.
