Hi i'm new here. itatanong ko sana kung kailan ako pede magstart magtake nito.
i am sexually active && we're onto withdrawal method.
 but last month hmm due to being drunk naiputok niya sa loob :-[
1 month na kong delayed but i already took pregnancy test twice pero negative naman.  :-\
regular naman ako kaya i'm pretty afraid right now. can i still take this pill?   :( :-\

^ you have to wait for your menstruation before taking this pill because you have to take it on the FIRST day of your mens.

@elsiepira: na experience ko nuon pero hindi naman sobrang sakit, lumalaki daw ang boobs sa althea eh kaya siguro may ganung feeling  ;D

@sansa123: if you're going to take althea and other pills, meron pong instructions kasama sa box pag bumili ka :) pero mas okay ask ka muna sa OB mo kasi sila po yung makaka make sure kung pwede ka mag pills :)

@polly_popo: okay lang po uminom ng coffee at vitamins, wag lang mag smoke :)

sis first time user ka ba? dapat kung first time first day ng mens mo. alanganin iyong pag inom mo.  itigil mo na lang muna then pag nagka mens ka dun mo ulit simulan.
i don't care how many mistakes i made in the past and will be making in the future... for as long as you're here, i'll always be reminded that somehow...... i choose to be right....... :)

@TeenMom17 pwede magsimula anytime basta use protection for the first 7 days strictly. As much as possible sa first pack sis magcondom muna kayo pag may contact. Sayang naman if magstop ka. :) sa 2nd pack okay na yun. :)

yes po natapos ko naman ito.

Eto po nagkaroon na ako. hmm napansin ko mas malakas [textspeak!] mens ko nung hinde ako uminom ng pills. Kasi nung uminom ako ng pills naging 3 days lang tapos na mens ko tapos unti unti pa. Pero nung nagstop ako ang lakas tapos bumalik ako sa usual ko na 5 day period.

Sis, withdrawal bleeding kasi ang nangyayari sa mga nagtake ng OCP or BCP. :) Hindi siya yun REAL MENSES.

WITHDRAWAL BLEEDING

Definition: The bleeding a woman experiences each month while using a hormonal birth control method, such as the Pill, the patch, or the NuvaRing. Monthly withdrawal bleeding is not the same thing as having a real menstrual period.
A woman using hormonal contraception will typically experience withdrawal bleeding when she is not exposed to any hormones from her birth control method, which is usually during the fourth week of her cycle:

Pill Users: the placebo week of a 28-day pill pack (or in our case 21-pack and 7-pill free days)
A withdrawal bleeding episode occurs during this week because the change in hormone dosage causes the uterine lining to weaken just enough to allow for some bleeding to occur. It is important to point out that withdrawal bleeding is due to the change in hormone levels, not a true period.
A withdrawal bleed can also occur after a course of progesterone therapy.

Also Known As: fake period, hormonal period

You may take it any time as long as you're not pregnant, basta for first time user, use protection for the first 7 days. follow up your 2nd pack din accordingly. 8th day after ng last pill sa previous pack.

me too, nagpimple ng first few days, i think that's normal. pero after a week or two, kuminis ng husto face ko and hindi pa ako nagkakapimple ever since I started taking it. i don't have pimples naman to begin with pero na-lessen din ang oiliness. Some of our patients before experience side effect but disappears after a month or two.
