Anyone Else Heard This About Birth Control Pills?

I Am Worried About This, Because I Am On Seasonique, I Havent Been On It Long, Just A Month Now, But After Reading This, I Dont Think Ill Be Taking It Anymore.

I am sure most of you have a daughter, a granddaughter, a niece, a friend or a friend’s daughter… this might be worth checking out. PASS THIS ON EVEN IF YOU DON’T USE IT!!

Recently, this past week, my cousin Nicole Dishuk (age 31… a newly graduated student with a doctoral degree about to start her new career as a Doctor…) was flown into a nearby hospital, because she passed out. They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately took her by helicopter to the ER to operate. By the time they removed the right half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain, the clot had spread to her brain causing severe damage. Since last Wednesday night, she was fighting for her life. They induced her into a coma to stop the blood flow and then operated 3 times.

Finally, they said there was nothing left that they could do. Multiple clots in the left side of her brain were found, the swelling wouldn’t stop and she was on the life support. She died at 4:30 that day. She leaves behind her husband, a 2-year old, Brandon and a 4-year old, Justin.

The CAUSE of DEATH they found was a birth control she was taking that allows you to only have your period 3 times a year. Doctors said it interrupts life’s menstrual cycle, and although it is FDA approved… it shouldn’t be. So to the women in my address book, I ask you to boycott this product and deal with your periods once a month, so you can live the rest of the months that life has in store for you.

Please send this to every woman you know – you may save someone’s life. Remember you have a cycle for a reason.

FYI: The name of this new birth control is Lybrel. If you go to Lybrel.com you will find a least 26 pages of information regarding this drug. The second birth control is Seasonique. If you go to Seasonique.com you will find at least 43 pages of information regarding this drug. The warning and side effects regarding both pills are horrible.

sexual enhancers?

how many women have tried sexual enhancers such as pills or creams and found them successful? where there any negative side effects? what was the product you used?
ok the reason why I’m asking is because I’ve had no sex drive what so ever for a very long time. all the medications that I’ve had to take over the years, including the birth control that I’m now on, has killed it. I’ve been to a sex therapist, she suggested I might look into it, and I’m skeptical

I should probably go to the doctor…but i need advice. Please help.?

When i first started getting my periods they were heavy and last for about a week and a half, eventually it got up to two weeks really heavy then it would stop for a few days to a week and i’d get it back for another two weeks sometimes three weeks. When i was 15, 2 years after i started getting them i finally went to the doctor, she put me on birth control that i was on for almost 4 years, my periods were always really heavy then but stopped in time for the next cycle of pills.

After i stopped taking them, my periods were ok, they would last anywhere from 5 to 9 or 10 days, but it’s irregular, i’m 22 now, Last year i stopped getting my period for almost 7 months, idk what happened, i wasn’t really stressed out or not eating, because i was eating. Then after it came back it was heavy and will now go away for about a month but it’ll last almost a week and a half sometimes two. When i was 18 i had a miscarriage that showed up on the pregnancy test, when i was 19 and 20 i’m pretty sure i was pregnant by the way i was feeling but it didn’t show up on a pregnancy test, i just had the symptoms, The second one i had was really painful, i stopped having a period for 3 months, and i felt something flutter 2 days before i lost it(?), and when i did i was bleeding really heavily and ended up having the really sharp contractions for about 20 minutes, i kept bleeding but it stopped. The third time when i thought i was pregnant i went to the doctor, i had all of the signs of pregnancy each time but eventually the doctor did a pap smear and i had pre cancerous cervical cells in the third stage, I’ve always had really really painful periods that make it hard to move at all even when i take something for it.

I’ve had unprotected sex with my boyfriend for awhile and haven’t gotten pregnant since or worried about getting pregnant, because i know i won’t get pregnant. Is there a way of knowing what is the actual problem without going to a doctor? Or anyone that has it too and might know what it is? I know it’s not an STD because i do not have one, i was tested and i don’t have that. I don’t know how anything that’s wrong with me is stopping me from having a baby not that i’m trying but i would like to have one someday but am afraid i might not ever be able to.
my doctor suggested getting the cells removed and she promised she would get rid of them but didn’t, i still have them, i don’t have health insurance to keep going. They did a follow up after the surgery and i still have them.

Protection or not i get bladder infections, and once i got pelvic inflammatory disease, i am a clean person and so is my boyfriend and he’s not cheating, i’m just prone to problems in that area, when i had the PID, they said it’s just a bacterial thing and gave me medicine for it, it just inflamed my reproductive organs.

Honestly, it’s not that i don’t want kids because i do but i don’t really care if we don’t have protected sex because i love him, i’m not worried about it, we both want a baby, we’re not trying to get pregnant but we’re open to kids, he knows about my problem though, i’ve had miscarriages, for some reason they’re not staying and i have no idea why.

One a Day Women's Active Mind & Body…nautious?

I bought this multivitamin a few months ago & after taking it even with food I found it made me extremely nautious. I took one this morning & I felt the urge to puke while eating my breakfast. I’ve taken other types of One A Day & its never made me feel this way there has to be something in there that triggers it….I just read other reviews complaining of the same problem. Even my birth control doesn’t make me feel this way, I don’t recommend this product at all. It definately made my body active just not in a good way…

Linessa 28?

A clinic that i went to recommended that i try this new birth control pill called Linessa, the doctor also gave me a trial pack to start with.
I have tried to do some research on this product and i came across something that said it is for women over the age of 18, does this mean younger women cannnot take these birth control pills??
Anyone on these pills or have heard anything?? I need some general information before taking it!!
Please help, thank you!!
