Chances of getting pregnant while taking the pill

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:12:05 -0600

I am pretty good with always taking my pill on time everyday. I have been on them for 2 years. About a week ago I took my pill close to 3 hours later than normal and then had sex with my fiance 2 hours after that. My periods usually start on Sunday (monday at the latest) and are fairly normal (not super heavy or light). Well my period came early morning on Tuesday and is WAY lighter than normal. I took a home pregnancy test on Monday night and it was negative. What are the chances of being pregnant?

can estradiol pills prevent period?

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:52:00 -0600

I had an FET 2 weeks ago. Will the estradiol pills and progestorone shots I am still taking prevent me from getting my period if I am not pregnant? With my IVF cycle I got my period days before the pregnancy test.

Jen's Journey- BFP =)

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:02:04 -0600

Been trying to have our first baby for 3 years as of October 2008. My husband is 24 and I am 23. We were best friends in high school, I've known him since I was 6 years old. We've been together 6 years on November 2nd =)

Been married for 3 years. Bought our first house a month before we got married. We are hard working and honest mid-west people. =)

After stopping birth conrtol pills I did not have a period for 13 months. Then once I got a period every month I tried naturally for a year, nothing. So I went to the Dr and found out I do not ovulate on my own (even though I get a period each month I fall into the 20% of women who get a false period but do not ovulate) I'm on clomid right now.

First round 50 mg- No ovulation.

Second round 50 mg- No ovulation, but on huge follicle at least. Progesterone level 0.8 on cd 25.

Third Round 100 mg- 3 mature follicles, ovulated cd 15.

Nov. 29th 2008- GOT MY BFP =)

I am very thankful for this site and I ♥ all you ladies for helping me along the way!

Please help ladies, or doctors, Im lost after appointment today! birthcontrol pills when ttc?

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:19:19 -0600

ok, so as most know I had a miscarraige on 10/24. Still haven't gotten a regular cycle, my ob said he wanted to start me back on clomid even without a cycle first, he had given me a few days to think about it and decide, and also to see if i would get af on my own... well i went back in for my appt today and he told me the complete opposite! He told me the NEW PLAN... he wants to put me on Nikon birth control pills,, super strong birth control for 2 months, then immediately after my 2nd cycle he is going to give me injections to start the ttc process faster.. he said they were called beta hcg injections.. (ANYONE HEARD OF THIS?) is it like iui? I am completely lost and confused about the whole thing. I wanted to try another round of clomid go up to 100 since I was only on 50 and got pg with that, but miscarried, but now he wants to do birth control pills... i dont know what to think... any thoughts, any ideas, any comments, any advice.. .anyone?????

Dr Q please help me! Can I start taking birth control pills?

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 21:27:33 -0600

Hi Dr! I was on lupron depot for 3 months for endometriosis. 4 weeks after my last shot, I took provera to bring on a period. Well today is 17 days since my last pill. No spotting or bleeding at all. I'm so anxious to start. I heard about patients starting the pill for two weeks after lupron to get their period to start. Can I do this? Is this safe? I want to start trying again so badly and start taking clomid! HELP!! Thank you!!

My first IVF/ICSI Cycle...

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:58:36 -0500

Hi ladies,

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I've been busy gearing up for my first IVF cycle (gosh, I still can't believe that's what we're doing). I plan to pick up all of my meds this weekend, but I've been reading all of the materials my nurse gave me and just sort of trying to prepare for it all mentally. I'm getting more nervous as I get closer to the injections. Am I *really* going to be able to do it?? My husband and I did sign up for the class that Shady my RE offers, but I just know I'm going to freak out the first time or two. My husband is very supportive (thankfully) and has offered to do whatever he can to help, which is good.

I started my birth control pills this morning. I'm supposed to take them for 21 days, but I'll also begun Lupron on Day 18, I think (don't have my protocol in front of me).

You'll laugh, but I've never taken birth control pills before (never felt comfortable messing with my hormones unnecessarily), so I freaked out a little this morning after I swallowed my pill. Silly, I know. I'm generally anxious about taking meds, so this isn't unusual for me. Now I know that BCPs won't kill me! Now, if I could only think that way for my Gonal-F and Follistim shots...

I just have to keep telling myself that we have a decent shot at this working for us, and that if I'm lucky, I won't ever have to take all these meds again! Wish me luck.

OK, that's the latest. If all goes well, I'm looking at an embryo transfer on Dec. 9, which happens to be my birthday. :)

I hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks for reading,

Christine

Birth control pills?

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:26:09 -0500

Hi doctor,

I'm about to begin my first IVF/ICSI cycle, and I'm supposed to begin BCPs for 21 days. I've never taken BCPS, so I want to know if there are any common side effects? I read all of the scary side effects written on the prescription, but I'm not sure how concerned I should be. I'm almost 36 years old and I don't smoke (never have) and have no known health conditions. Am I at risk for anything while on these pills?

Thanks so much!

Does going on the pill make any sense?

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:58:33 -0500

I am late again with another BFN, some mild pressure/pain in my left overy though. Either I did not O &/or I have a cycst again. Going to the Dr later this morning for BW to confirm BFN & begin provera. Also to discuss the possibility of my having PCOS. I have been reading alot about it recently & I seem to have some of the symptoms. I was checked for it years ago & my BW was "borderline", whatever that means. I am just going to bring it up to see what they say.

Anyway, I am thinking of asking them to put me back on BC for the next 2 or 3 months. I am still trying to reach my weight goal & even though I do pretty well with my eating I tend to slack & avoid exercise which is getting me nowhere. I feel paranoid to exercise while TTC/not using protection- always worried that I "might be O'ing" or "what if I'm PG", ect...and then I stop working out. Thinking maybe I will be able to really focus on the weight loss with out the worries.

Anyway, just wanted some opinions & sorry so long, lol!

We're starting our ivf process on NOv. 4th. On CD 4 I had my 3-day labs done and then they started me on birth control pills. A couple of days ago I started getting brownish discharge, and just a couple of hours ago, I got red...bright red! I'm only on CD 18 and I'm on birth control pills, so I'm not even suppose to get af. What is going on?
