is desogen (ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel) birth control effective?

Question

Has anyone misused the birth control desogen (ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel)?

Answer 1

If taken properly: But i never write for that one, i put my pts on lower dose pills which are safer and less cahnce wt gain , bloating, blood clots , I use 10-25 mcg estrogen in teh pills i write.

Answer 2

No: Ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is a birth control pill. There is obviously no need to take it during pregnancy. It won't actually cause any problems to the pregnancy but can put you at increased risk for blood clots. It is safe to take ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) during nursing but it may decreased your milk production.

Answer 3

No: There is no reason to take a birth control pill during pregnancy. During breastfeeding we usually recommend methods which do not contain estrogen as this hormone can reduced the breast milk supply.

Answer 4

No: Ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is a birth control pill so you should not take if you are pregnant. You can take while breastfeeding but it may make your milk supply go down. A better birth control pill to take while breastfeeding would be the minipill which will not decrease your milk supply.

Answer 5

No: Combined oral contraceptives are not recommended while breastfeeding as they can decrease the quality or quantity of your breastmilk. Any hormonal contraceptive, including ocella, (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) would be contraindicated in pregnancy as it could potentially cause problems in fetal development.

Answer 6

Possibly: If you have early diabetes because of your weight then this can cause birth defects.

Answer 7

Yes and no: Not birth defects, but certanly some problems. As well as you. You can develop high blood pressure and diabetes related to a pregnancy, and complications to your child with it will increase as well. You baby could be prone for macrosomia, difficult delivery, probably c-section, possible hypoglycemia, and many others in the future.

Answer 8

According to the : Widely-publicized charge study: http://www.Medicalnewstoday.Com/articles/243911.Php., there is a " strong association" of maternal metabolic conditions (obesity, diabetes & hypertension) & ⬆ risk in offspring of autistic spectrum disorders & other neurodevelopmental disorders, not a cause & effect. Congenital anomalies are ⬆ed if maternal diabetes is poorly controlled. Just take care of yourself.

Answer 9

10 %: Only 10% of infants born with CMV have symptoms. They include small birth weight, small head, seizures, jaundice, and liver or spleen enlargement.

Answer 10

Retina damage: Damage to the retina from inflammation and scar tissue formation.

Answer 11

Varies: The intensity of fetal damage varies somewhat with the timing of the mother/baby infection. Earlier infections can cause stillbirth, brain damage, major organ swelling & affect vision. Late in pregnancy the infection may go unnoticed initially but lead to progressive hearing loss within months or years.

Answer 12

Not necessarily/lots: CP results from injury to the developing brain anytime from pregnancy to the 3rd birthday.Studies published in the early 80's showed most CP kids had normal pregnancy/labor/delivery& first 3yrs.Birth injury implicated in some. A birth defect involves a malformation like cleft palate or distruction like amnionic band amputation of fingers. Pregnancy involves variable risk.

Answer 13

Complex question: Cerebral palsy is a description of static dysfunction of muscle control due to brain disorder. About 50% are of unknown cause. About 30% are due to definable developmental defects of the brain. Less than 20% can be associated with birth injury. Birth defects affect 2 to 3% of all children. Most are of heart, kidney, gut, limbs, lip, etc. Defects of the brain may result in cerebral palsy.

Answer 14

See below: Cerebral palsy can be caused by random genetic mutation before the birth, maternal infection during pregnancy, fetal stroke during pregnancy, or a lack of oxygen to the brain during labor and delivery. This is why the baby is constantly monitored during labor to make sure that they are safe and doing well. A birth defect is usually a genetic abnormality.

Answer 15

Cerebral palsy is a : Group of disorders of impaired motor functions described by limitations of mobility & hand use. Fetal brain malformations or ⬇ed blood flow/oxygen can occur from the 3rd week of gestation till term, especially near the end of the 2nd trimester. Asphyxia during labor & delivery or in the first years of life accounts for ~ 10 of cases, in whom hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is diagnosed.

Answer 16

Pain, stress: Pain can raise blood pressure, so can stress.

Answer 17

Pregnancy: High blood pressure can be induced by the pregnancy - either as part of a toxemia (eg pre-eclampsia) or as isolated pregnancy induced hypertension. It generally improves but duration is variable and could last 2 months. Depending on severity , it may require treatment. Follow the advice of you OB or be referred to an internist or nephrologist or cardiologist.
