what are some over-the-counter drugs i can take to stop my period temporarily? i'm 18.

Question

I started using a over-the-counter hormone pill and since then my period is in the 3rd week. Is this normal or should I stop with the pills.

Answer 1

None: There are no over the counter drugs available that i know of that can stop your period temporarily. Speak to your healthcare provider about this issue and see if you're eligible to take the birth control pill.

Answer 2

Menses: It may depend f you are breast feeding or not but it may take a few months.

Answer 3

Depends: If you breast feed, you may not cycle until you quit nursing. If you are not breastfeeding and had regular normal cycles before your pregnancy, you will probably start to cycle between 2 weeks and 6 months after delivery.. If you were not regular before the pregnancy, you may not be after either.

Answer 4

Depends.: If you do not breast feed then a period usually occurs 6-8 weeks after delivery. If you breast feed you may not get a period for more than 6 mo depending upon how long you breast fieed and if you supplement.

Answer 5

Yes: Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial cells (cells from uterine lining) grow in locations other than inside the uterus. We know that women experience "retrograde flow", or flow of menses back thru the fallopian tubes and into the pelvis. Usually, the body resorbs the material, but sometimes these "viable" cells take hold and live in the abdominal cavity.

Answer 6

Yes: Red cells in menstrual blood are viable. Some viable endometrial cells are also present in the menstrual fluid.

Answer 7

Sometimes: Many things can affect seizures, even those that are well-controlled. Even "little" things like sleep deprivation or a urinary tract infection can set off seizures that were controlled. Hormonal fluctuations with menstruation is another.

Answer 8

Epilepsy.com: Some seizures may be hormonal dependent and yes some may experience more frequency of seizures during menstrual periods.Yes. Approximately half the women of childbearing age who have epilepsy report an increase in seizures around the time of their monthly menstrual period. Seizures occurring predominantly around the time of menstruation are referred to as catamenial epilepsy. http://www.epilepsy.

Answer 9

Yes: Eating late can be problematic if you are going to sleep after your meals. Eating triggers our stomachs to make acid and this then can lead to acid reflux. Ideally it's better to eat early, especially for the larger meal of the day.

Answer 10

I don't understand: exactly what you're asking, but if by "my cycle" you mean your menstrual cycle , then definitely NO, it has no effect at all on gastric acid.

Answer 11

Yes: The clumps are normal. Each period is the lining your endometrium that is shedding so sometimes it can be in the form of larger clots or lumps.
