QUESTION: I’ve been on the pill for 2 years maybe more. The main reason I got on was because of servers cramps. Sometimes I get cramps but they’re bearable. Here’s my question: I still experience PMS. Specifically the bloating/weight gain and the depression and mood swings. Is the pill supposed to get rid of ALL PMs ? Because technically when I get my “period” it’s not a period. It’s withdrawal bleeding. I read you’re not supposed to PMS because it’s not a real period. Am I like...just psychologically expecting a PMS that isn’t there ??
this was very helpful, but I have 2 questions. The first one is, is “Yaz” safe? Because I heard it could be dangerous. And the second question is, if you take the 21 day pill and you take a 7 day break, do you have to wait 7 days to start a new pack? Let’s say my period stops before the 7 day break finishes, should I still wait for the 7 days to finish or should I immediately start a new pack after my period? Thank you so much :)
Hopefully this will answer.. am using 21 days pill.. and accidentally i take the thursday instead of tuesday.. then.. later on i realized i just started the pill the other way around.. (i mean the last day to the 1st) i also accidentally take 2 pills in an interval of 30mins.. should i continue another pack to complete my 21 day cycle? ..thank you..
I’m taking the 21 days pills and after my last pill waiting seven days for my period however within theses 7days after I took it for 21 days am I still protected or no . The 7 days timeframe am I protected ??
What if after the 21 days instead of stopping 4 i week i went right into starting the next pack does that mean i skipped my period? Or should i stop now for 7 days and try to get my period?
Hi doc can i ask u something what if i start wrong the pills, i follow the arrow back of the pack ( meaning i start the last week of rows if we flip the pack)not in front arrow,is there possibility i get chances to get pregnant
Is there any birth control pills you know of that has 28 pills w/ no placebo pills and an actual pill for the 21-28 day gap so you have no menstrual cycle. The pills actually stop ovulation so there is no need to release an egg, yes? So I’m hoping when taking bc to skip the placebo bleeding since it’s not needed.
primaverala I'm taking micronor.. 28 days no break... it's a progesterone only pill no estrogen. I cannot take estrogen as I'm getting older. I have no period
The bleeding you have, if you have it, is NOT a period. It's called withdrawal bleeding which is caused from not taking the pill for a few days. The difference is with a "period" you would have released an egg. While on the pill you don't, or shouldn't, release an egg. If you did release an egg you could become pregnant.
After the 21 days of hormone you take a week (seven days) break then start the next pack for a round trip 28 day cycle (7 days in a week x 4 weeks in a month = 28 days)
I take a pills after period..... I take 21 pills no skip then continous take pills not alowance 3 days.my period has delay..... I have a pain in lower part....
I bought 28days pills marvelon but i am use to take 21 days pills.now i start the 28day pills after my menstration is it ok if i will stop on my 21 days and should i have menstriation after that. Thank u
If you start it before next period or randomly chances are you'll spot through the first month of use because it retains the lining that should have shed until the thickness reaches a hormonally unsustainable level and starts randomly auto-shedding until next hormone withdrawal period when it all goes and starts over. 🤓
I so love the throwing part of the video.. 😂😂😂❤ Hi Doc, I just want to ask something. It's about switching my pills (brand). So, my OB recommended me this 28 days pills (Charlize brand) and I have been using it for almost 7 or 8 months. Unfortunately, this kind of pills is very hard to find (here in my city) until the drug store/ pharmacy where I luckily bought it became OUT of stock.. 😭😭😭 So, I decided to switch my pills (temporarily). It's still a 28 days pills (the brand name is Lady). I finished the entire pack of my old pills. The 28 pills, actually. It was just, Im a bit scared and hesitant because even though they have a bit of same content of the 21 pills - Ethinyl Estradiol (30 mcg) and Levonorgestrel (150 mcg) but they have different content of the remaining 7 pills. My old pills were Ferrous Fumarate 75mg(the Charlize) while the NEW brand are Lactose 40 mg(the Lady brand). So, my question is: Is it okay and safe for me to start using and taking the new brand? 😩😩...Is there a great possibility that Im gonna get pregnant if there will be an intercourse during the first or 2 weeks? thank you so much in advance, Doc.
Hi there. The last 7 pills have no hormone in them. They are placebos and really just there as time markers. So the flip once done on time that is to say on the day after the last pill of the old pack you start day 1 of the new pack without interruption should work perfectly. However if you need to be extra cautious you can use condom back up for the first month of the new pills. By the second and third months you would not need to.
In taking a 21 day birth control pills. Is it necessary to take 7 day break EVERYTIME that I'll start a new pack? For instance; Pack 1 -7 days break Pack 2 -7 days break Pack 3 -7 days break If the situation above is not followed will I get pregnant?
What if we have unprotected sex on the last pill day(21st day of the pill) then can she stop taking pill after the 7 day gap? I wanna know when to have unprotected sex so that my wife don't get pregnant and stop using pill for several months
Doc,please can you answer.doc its my first time i used yasmin.how to used.start monday or if you have menstruation like example saturday you must start saturday?then continue to sunday intill finish the pill?and can take also if you lost Weight?.
Hi there Dr, could you please explain the difference between Yaz and yazmin and the different effects and purposes ? is Yaz better than yazmin for pcos acne ?
i have one question . so i used to take the 28 day packs. now my insurance switched me to 21 days .. so basically with the 21 days i stop them after i finish my packet for one week? what do i do if i don't get any spotting during the week i stop and do i have to stop or can I continue with the next packet ? thanks !
Is it ok take a pill even if don't have menstruation yet because I want to try not for birth control. My purpose is that maybe taking pills will help me to become fat
Sir I stared daine35 on D 7day of my period (instead of 5 day ) for 21 days ... Shall I continue for 21 day or stop 2 day before (as I started 2 day later)
Doc, I wanna ask something. I have just decided to use Marvelon 28, so I don't know much about it. I'm having my menstruation now. Like, today is my first day. But today is Thursday here in the Philippines. Which tablet should I take? Should I still take the Monday small pill? I am really confused with the whole thing.
Huh??? Did you peeps READ the title? I delivered exactly what I promised - an explanation of why some BCPs are 21 days and others 28. If you order a burger at McD's do you expect to get nuggets?
I am using diane 35 for acne treatment and have to use it for 21 days and take 7 days break. Can i also use it for birth control? If so are there chances of conceiving once i take the 7 day break?
@@doctorsecrets hello sir. Ive just used diane 35 for the first time, after I finish this one pad, shoul I continue new pad after? Or i will rest 7days?
Instead of oral contraceptive pill might consider an IUD. Mirena for example will suppress your periods for 5 years without affecting fertility after. A hysterectomy is a drastic solution and irreversible.
Why do we need a to have a ‘period’ at all, if we’re on the pill?
“Noobie” here👸🏼 and this explanation made my night and my answers too ✨ thank you!
You're so welcome! 😉
Active pills should be started once periods are over?during periods placebo given ?

I was told you don’t wait for seven days if skipping the sugar pills and to go straight into the new pack after the 21 days. is that true?
No... My gyno said in those 7 days ur still safe... So u dont need to take pills in those 7 days for 21 day pills

What confuses me is why only the last 4 of the 28 day pack are white and not the last 7.
I’m taking the 21 days pills and after my last pill waiting seven days for my period however within theses 7days after I took it for 21 days am I still protected or no . The 7 days timeframe am I protected ??
You are protected with out the pills for seven days.
Yes. Those seven days of no pill are your period window where there is no viable egg around to fertilize.
What if after the 21 days instead of stopping 4 i week i went right into starting the next pack does that mean i skipped my period? Or should i stop now for 7 days and try to get my period?
I got clear explanation after watching your video even i saw morethan 10video about oc pills,,, thanks
I need help how to use the 21days pills ,should i take it 7days & the other 7days wont take it or how ?
Do we will get menstrual cycle right after we stop 21 days ?
Generally yes.

when to start taking pills? is it after the menstruation? or any date?
I started microgynon 4 days ago. Some people take it continuously without a break and i heard this can be good. What do you think?
I was on Mercilon but now switched to Yaz. How long after taking the active pills does the withdrawal bleeding stop ?🤔
Using a 28 day pill but had period right before the last inactive pills... Should u start another pack even if the first pack was not finished???
Wow now I understand what to do thank you sooo much 😊
Hi doc can i ask u something what if i start wrong the pills, i follow the arrow back of the pack ( meaning i start the last week of rows if we flip the pack)not in front arrow,is there possibility i get chances to get pregnant
what if my period finished in 5 days why do i keep taking placeboos the other 2 days
so im using 21 days and those 7days take break and then 8th day i can start the 21pills right?
Jessika Mugii yes.
That sounds correct.
I will take this 21 days pils then what time start the period?

Seasonique / seasonale has 11 weeks straight of hormone and placebo the 12th week ie one period every 3 months.
primaverala I'm taking micronor.. 28 days no break... it's a progesterone only pill no estrogen. I cannot take estrogen as I'm getting older. I have no period

Seasonale, or seasonique.
Is it good in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome?
The birth control pill addresses the cycle irregularity. Spironolactone the hirsutism. Metformin the weight gain.
hi doctor, i am using micropil, i have consumed teo packs now, still no period. help???
Is micro pill 21 or 28 days long? And did you run a pregnancy test?
how do i take the 21 day pill if i have a 30-day menstrual cycle?
After the 21 days of hormone you take a week (seven days) break then start the next pack for a round trip 28 day cycle (7 days in a week x 4 weeks in a month = 28 days)
@@doctorsecrets is this the same for 32 days cycle?
Are there pills for men too ?
Not that I'm aware of. We typically go for vasectomy.
What of for birth control you need to wait the menstruation first before taking the pills.
I think you're mistaken. Most doctors reccommend you start on Sunday OR the first day of menstration. Is that what you mean?
Can you do pills if you have irregular period?
Indi Go yes

what happen if they take the pill before their period or take it randomly

Am on my 21 day cycle and I had ipill just after the intercourse can I get pregnant by this
Assuming you mean day 21 of the cycle, nah you should be fine. The next 7 days everything is expelled during the period.
What if i came from 21 day version then planning to change to 28 day version. What would i do
Jonica Cadag after you finish your 21 day pill, your menses should come in for 7 days. You can start immediately after your menses.
On completion of the 7d off the 21d version you start taking the 28d pack and take a pill each day. Easy peasy.

before im taking d 28 pills,now im starting d 21,,my question is i started on wednesday,should i finish it all?
Why do a woman need to take placebo pills, I really need an answer for this for my report
Don't have to. They are temporal placeholders to remind users when to start their next pack.
+DoctorSecrets How about contraceptive rods? Why are they placed on the arms and not on the other parts of the woman's body?
Doc,please can you answer.doc its my first time i used yasmin.how to used.start monday or if you have menstruation like example saturday you must start saturday?then continue to sunday intill finish the pill?and can take also if you lost Weight?.
Hi there Dr, could you please explain the difference between Yaz and yazmin and the different effects and purposes ? is Yaz better than yazmin for pcos acne ?
The amount of estradiol is different: Yaz 20mcg, Yasmin 30mcg. I think Yaz Plus best of the three but you should consult with a gyne.

lilly mireles never stop without consulting your birth control provider. Many women don't bleed during the off week.
