Question 1

can using emergency contraception 3 times in a week and a half cause infertility?

Accepted Answer

Emergency contracept: No, using emergency contraception three times in a week will not cause infertility but it does mean that you need to find a reliable form of birth control.

Question 2

could you know the reason my mentrual cycle only lasted for two days? i am not on any type of hormonal contraception.

Accepted Answer

Must R/O PG: Make sure you are not pg, if you are not could be because you are not building up enough tissue to have a heavier cycle, you should see your gyn for an exam, blood work and an ultrasound.

Question 3

why does emergency contraception have to be taken within 72 hours? what causes it to be less effective after this time period?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: Sperm lives for about 72 hours, and if you have sperm in you when you ovulate (egg released from the ovary), then you will get pregnant.  Emergency contraception stops you from ovulating.  If you take it after ovulation, you will probably still get pregnant.

See your doctor about a reliable form of contraception,  and use condoms every time.

Question 4

i was use marvelon contraception pills and it cause depression to me what kind of contraception dose not affect the mood ?

Accepted Answer

Desogestrel: You have a generic version of desogen (ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel) and the progesterone in that particular pill frequently causes depression.  You need a pill that doesn't contain desogestrel.  Ask the prescribing provider to change your pill.

Question 5

does emergency contraception cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

No: But remember emergency contraception is supposed to be taken only in an emergency, it's not an every day medication. For routine contraception use some other method and make sure it protects you from HIV and STD's as well.

Question 6

do oral contraception causes depression or emotional instability?

Accepted Answer

Contraception: In susceptible individuals, & depending on the hormones in the pill, it is possible.

Question 7

what causes hormonal contraception to fail?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is 100%: The most common cause of failed hormonal contraception is related to user-error:  missed pills, patch, ring, shot, etc, but even if you use a method perfectly, failures can happen.  Next to permanent sterilization, the most effective methods include iuds and implants--which are "forgettable"--and not as subject to user-error, making them easy and very effective to use.

Question 8

im experiencing frequent blood spotting and period pains. ive had contraception tube inserted few months ago, could that be a reason? should i consider removing it ?

Accepted Answer

Contraception tube: First, I would consider doing a home pregnancy test.  Although the tube is effective it does not prevent pregnancy 100 percent. Some tubes have hormone with them too and that can cause problems. Infection may be issue too, so I would recommend being seen by your provider.

Question 9

if i took plan b up to 3times in a month during unprotected sex, will the plan b works ? and if i use it as regular contraception, will it fails and cause me to get pregnant ? my period now late 4weeks, cycle disrupt due to plan b ?

Accepted Answer

: "Plan B" is not 100% effective for contraception.  If your periods are usually "regular" ( 24-32 days apart), the delay may be secondary to pregnancy. Obtain a "home" pregnancy test and if positive , see your GYN physician for a exam and further testing (ultrasound).

Question 10
