i am taking yasmin for the first mhttp:/onth after switching from taking yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) on a regular basis. can i take four placebo pills as i did with the yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol)?

Question

How do I change my pill from Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) to yasmin?

Answer 1

No: Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) has 4 placebo pills because it has 3 extra active pills. Yasmin does not have these extra active pills, and is designed to have 7 days of placebo.

Answer 2

No: Birth control pills and HRT contain different types of Estrogens and progesterones and different dosages of hormones. They have been developed to meet different needs for women at different stages of their lives and thus have different risks, benefits, and side effects.

Answer 3

No: Birth control pills contain hormones, but the intended effect is to prevent pregnancy. Bc pills, as oral hormones, must be synthetic/semi-synthetic. Hormone replacement therapy ideally should be bioidentical (the same hormones you produce in your body), should be tailored to your specific needs (your levels should be checked), & should include both estrogen & Progesterone & possibly testosterone.

Answer 4

No!: Birth control pills use a very low dose of hormones. Hormone replacement therapy uses much higher doses that simulate what the body produces before menopause.

Answer 5

No: No theses are topical treatments and should not have any effect on birth control pills.

Answer 6

No, they do not.: Unlike certain types of oral antibiotics, topical ones do not affect the efficacy of birth control pills.

Answer 7

Avoid constipation: Pelvic fractures can lead to slowing of peristaltic movement of colon, which controls bowel movements. Bed rest and pain medications are often the only initial treatment for pelvic fractures; these two markedly slow down normal colon movements. Do whatever necessary to get those bowels moving: drinks lots fluids, including prune juice, stool softener, fiber combined with fluid, senna, mom...

Answer 8

Avoid constipation: They gave you those meds to prevent constipation and so that you won't have to strain when you have a bowel movement. The pelvic fracture will make it harder to have a bm, but the action is the same. Do you have grab bars or an elevated toilet seat? These might help.

Answer 9

It depends: Again there are so many variables that go into a decision process to decide what is "best". You really have to work that out with a doctor who knows all your habits, or medical history and your lifestyle. Maybe a non-hormal barrier method would be better for you (there are at least 4 different kinds) maybe you would be best served with a non-hormonal iud? Maybe you abhor those options. Ask ur dr.

Answer 10

IUD/Implant: Regardless of your age, blood pressure, family history, or reactions to other birth control, the most effective and safest methods of birth control are long-acting progestin-only methods, such as the implant or the hormonal IUD, which decrease rates of endometrial cancer and decrease bleeding. They're safe, reversible, and don't affect weight gain/mood. They're almost as good as getting sterilized

Answer 11

Yes: Have you tested the person that you had unprotected sex with? Usually recommendation is testing every 6 months, but you can turn positive at any time. Get to your obgyn and get checked. Good luck.

Answer 12

No: If that was your most recent exposure, then you're negative, and a repeat test will still be negative.
