Question 8

i use nuvaring and was just prescribed provigil/modafinil. will i still be protected against pregnancy and will my periods still be regulated?

Accepted Answer

Nuvaring ?s: Unfortunately the safest answer is  possibly.    Modafinil may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.   Modafinil increases the body's metabolism of the hormones in the Nuvaring which could reduce the effectiveness.    It may also diminish the ability of the Nuvaring to regulate your menses.   Speak to the prescriber of both and see if there are alternatives for you .  Good luck.

Question 9

i have had seven negative pregnancy tests and four periods my last one was on time but very irregular now im late last time i had sex was 18 weeks ago?

Accepted Answer

Options: An occasional off month is common and does not  indicate a problem. For continued irregular periods see your obgyn for an exam and testing. Depending on your age and fertility plans there are lots of treatment options. Birth control pills can regulate your cycle. Your doctor will do blood work for thyroid disease as well as polycystic ovarian syndrome. No need to keep repeating the preg tests.

Question 10

can stress cause false pregnancy symptoms and missed periods?

Accepted Answer

Irregular Menses: It is common for young women to miss periods, or have them come late, especially with excessive stress, weight loss, or exercise. If you did not ovulate (release an egg in the middle of your menstrual cycle) your period can be very light or not come at all.  It may be heavier the following month.
