Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) was the original pill and microgynon is the generic...They both have an estrogen, ethinyl estradiol, and a progestin, levnorgestral.

Question 2

when should someone take nordette-21?

Accepted Answer

Birth Control: Nordette-21 is a cyclic with control containing estrogen and progesterone.  If used for birth control, one should start it on the first day of bleeding of a natural cycle, then take a pill a day.  If being used continuous, one can start a new pack as soon as one runs out.   Basically start with the first pill and take one each day until its over then go to the next pack.

Question 3

can i take plan b(nordette) thrice. i know its wrong but i got no option. pls help?

Accepted Answer

Assume you are: referring to takinf 4 pills followed by 4 more pills 12 hours later and doing this on three separate occassions. If  you feel that you have no other choice but to continue to use an oral contraceptive as an emergency contraceptive - you could always consider  not having sex until you are using a regular  form of birth control. Yes, it can be used on three separate occassions.

Question 4

i took nordette 3 weeks ago. is it safe for me to drink whiskey and smoke?

Accepted Answer

No: It is never "SAFE" to drink and smoke. While you can continue to use birth control pills even when you drink and smoke because you're under 35 years of age, I would discourage you from drinking and smoking in general.

Question 5

i need a prescription for nordette but do not want to waste savings when i do not need to see the gp. ?

Accepted Answer

See doctor sometimes: A woman sees her doctor for an evaluation in order to start hormonal birth control pills, and then sees her doctor again a few months later to assess the effects and side effects. After that, if she has no problems from the pills, she usually can just keep refilling them, and return to see the doctor annually for a recheck and preventive care. Preventive care means visits BEFORE symptoms arise.

Question 6

um currently taking nordette as i was diagonised with hormonal imbalance. i want to know if they dont do any damages to the body or reproductive system as i would like to have kids oneday. any serious side effects i should know about?

Accepted Answer

Reproduction unaffec: Reproduction should be unaffected by ocp's. Serious side effects are rare today with low dose pills. But you should consult your doctor if you have any unusual symptoms

Question 7

how safe is nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel)?

Accepted Answer

Safe: As safe as any other birth control pill if you pay attention to the risks.

Question 8

Take HPT to know.: Reasons for missed /late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight gain or loss, over-exercise such as in endurance athletes, breast-feeding, stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, medications (i.e., birth control) or med problem (polycystic ovary syndrome or Asherman’s syndrome. #1 reason for missed period is pregnancy.

Question 9

i took ecp nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) 9 hours after the deed. 4 pills 7:30 am then 4 pills again 7:30 pm. will i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

If not pregnant: it would reduce pregnancy risk. If it was used for emergency contraception the second set of pills is recommended at 12 hours later. However, you asked "will I still be pregnant?" Nordette should not be used if pregnant - it is not an abortion pill. This is not the best option if you are trying to prevent pregnancy.

Question 10

i'm taking this nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) tabs 30 for trying to conceive but what are they used for?how will they help in trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) is a birth  control pill so you won't get pregnant. Ask your doctor why he gave it to you.
