Hello! I am 25 years old (height 168, weight 53 kg, did not give birth, did not have abortions, I do not use any drugs, including contraceptives), the cycle was regular but long 34-36 days, with spotting discharge on day 3 in the middle of the cycle. The last menstruation began on May 24 and ended on May 28 + 2 days of smearing.
2 days ago I started taking vitrum vitamins (so for myself). I'm eating right and counting calories. And today bloody mild discharge began (similar to the first day of menstruation). Stress is present at work. Perhaps she caught a cold - air conditioning. But, for some reason, it seems to me that this failure occurred from the vitamin. Composition: m1 coated tablet contains: Vitamin A - 5000 IU (including beta-carotene - 600 IU); Vitamin B1 - 1.5 mg; Vitamin B2 - 1.7 mg; Vitamin B6 - 2 mg; Vitamin B12 - 6 mcg; Vitamin C - 60 mg; Vitamin E - 30 IU; Cholecalciferol - 400 IU; Folic acid - 400 mcg; Nicotinamide - 20 mg; Biotin - 30 mcg; Pantothenic acid - 10 mg; Vitamin K - 25 mcg; Calcium - 162 mg; Potassium - 40 mg; Phosphorus - 125 mg; Iodine - 150 mcg; Magnesium - 100 mg; Iron - 18 mg; Copper - 2 mg; Chlorides - 36.3 mg; Zinc - 15 mg; Chromium - 25 mcg; Molybdenum - 25 mcg; Selenium - 25 mcg; Manganese - 2.5 mg; Tin - 10 mcg; Nickel - 5 mcg; Silicon - 10 mcg; Vanadium - 10 mcg.

Good afternoon
I have a question. The doctor prescribed the drug Regividon to regulate the menstrual cycle (every one and a half to two weeks there was bleeding throughout June, before that the cycle was long - 35 days +/- 2-3 days). Cause of failure - Stress (doctor's diagnosis)
I have been taking the pills for 14 days after the start of the previous period. At first there was nausea from the pills - the next day it stopped. The rashes on the face did not stop, but it seems to have become even more. On the 11th day, smearing brown discharge appeared to this day (12,13,14 - days of taking the drug). Before that, the right ovary began to tingle during the day - before the appointment of the pills, they looked at the ultrasound, the ovaries are normal, without cysts. I always had similar discharges in the middle of the cycle, but on the 15-18th day after the start of the previous menstruation, but with taking the pills, they said that they would stop.
Are such discharges normal? Should I stop taking the drug?
Sincerely, Olya.

Py.Zy.: Advice - see a doctor - sorry, but not relevant! I wouldn't post here!

Hello. Please tell me, I have been taking Regividon as prescribed by the doctor for the 17th day. From the 11th day of admission, dark brown spotting began to this day. The doctor prescribed Dicinon 3 times a day, 1 tablet. I drink the second day - the discharge did not stop. But today the temperature rose 37.3
I do not know what to do! :((Bring down the temperature?

07.07.2012, 09:49

If YOU read the archives of the form, you would know that this phenomenon is NORMAL when taking the first three packs of any COC. The temperature rose definitely not because of taking the pills. \
If the Doctor writes - "consult a doctor" - this means that in absentia, without an examination, it is impossible to give you recommendations.
This is a professional forum!

07.07.2012, 10:08

I understand that you do not have the right to advise to do anything and take it live without seeing a specialist - since self-medication can be fatal. But you, too, must understand that people go to the forum of this topic for "first aid" - at least in words.
Thank you very much for your answer! :)
Now it remains only to guess what the temperature is from. If there are no signs of ARI. But only problems in gynecology!
Also, sorry for the intrusiveness! But I’m thinking, could these failures in the body begin due to weight loss? 2 years ago I weighed 65 kg, height 168. I gradually lost weight a year later, I had a stable weight of 58 and this weight was until winter. From January to May 2012, she lost weight to 53.3 kg.
I read an article suggesting that an organism has a critical mass to identify its transition from adolescence to adulthood. And what if we return during weight loss to this critical mass - the body is being restructured again. This is an assumption)

Smirnova Olga (gynecologist, GSMU, 2010)

Oral contraceptives contain hormones that are involved in the regulation of a woman's menstrual cycle. Discharge when taking birth control pills can be normal, signal the need to change the drug, or indicate a health problem.

When discharge should not cause concern

With the intake of contraceptive tablets according to the instructions, menstrual flow does not stop. They still make themselves felt every month, but their frequency becomes clear (28 days exactly), and the intensity is moderate.

A daub may be observed on any day of the cycle at the very beginning of taking contraceptives, indicating a restructuring of the body.

Natural acyclic bleeding should have the following characteristics:

• duration of episodic discharge up to 3 months;
• a small amount (2-3 daily pads per day);
• brown or red color (see photo).

This phenomenon does not require the abolition of the course or the replacement of the contraceptive. It is enough to wait for the stabilization of the reproductive system and getting used to the new conditions.

The protective (contraceptive) function of the drug does not decrease if a woman periodically bleeds. It is important to stick to the pill regimen without missing a day, and then such secretion will not be considered a side effect.

Read in one of our articles what else could be the reasons.

How long can bleeding last?

When taking hormonal pills, obvious spotting occurs for the first three months in 40% of women. This secretion is a consequence of the contraceptive effect. This is how long it takes the reproductive system to adapt to changes in hormonal balance. And only 10% of the interviewed patients noted meager blood marks on daily routines for six months.

Significant disorders in the form of spotting after OK were diagnosed only in 5% of women. The secretion with the blood continued to persist even after multiple changes of drugs, so the pills had to be abandoned, and also undergo an examination in the hospital.

The duration of the adaptation period to oral contraceptives increases due to the following factors:

• age;
• instability of the hormonal background;
• too low a dose of hormones;
• the presence of bad habits (smoking, alcohol);
• skipping pills;
• violation of instructions;
• various diseases of the reproductive system;
• Wrong type OK.

Why does this symptom occur?

In each period of the monthly cycle, the body produces a certain amount of different sex hormones, the doses of which are responsible for various processes (ovulation, menstruation, etc.). Against the background of taking OK, synthetic hormonal components may simply not be enough to block the natural content of estrogens and progestogens. Therefore, the body needs several months to get used to such doses. While the adaptation period lasts, the endometrium is partially rejected, causing the appearance of spotting when taking hormonal contraceptives.

There are other reasons for the presence of blood in the vaginal fluid, which should be considered depending on:

• cycle phases;
• type of oral contraceptive;
• serial number of the tablet (end, beginning of the package).

Influence of cycle time

When more than three months have passed since the start of the course, and when taking contraceptives, a specific period of the monthly cycle is noted, there is no need to immediately suspect a pathology. Minor bleeding may begin due to the peculiarities of the hormonal background or the tablets themselves.

After menstruation

If a woman took a break after the blister (21 tablets) or ended taking the placebo pills (28 tablets per plate), then the uterus can be cleansed for two to three days. The blood clots remaining inside after menstruation come out and appear.

They also occur due to too low a dose of estrogen, which, unlike progesterone, stops the rejection of the uterine lining. It is necessary to choose another drug, but before that you should consult a doctor, you cannot drink other oral contraceptives of your own choice and desire.

At ovulation

The following factors can provoke when taking contraceptives:

• lack of synthetic estrogens;
• lack of gestagen;
• natural processes.

When taking OCs ("mini-pill"), the egg develops and exits the follicular sac, causing a small amount of blood in the cervical fluid.

After ovulation

The most common cause of discharge with blood before menstruation after taking modern methods of contraception is a lack of progestogen. It is still impossible to exclude pregnancy when the order of the pills was violated or a day was missed (bloody secretion on the 6-12th day after ovulation).

And there are also situations when a woman, instead of menstruation, notes brown discharge when taking OK. Natural progesterone rises after ovulation, preparing the body for expected menstrual bleeding. When the hormone is not enough, the endometrium is not rejected in time, causing a delay. But if you take Jess or other microdosed contraceptives, then instead of menstruation, pseudo-menses may appear. In the most neglected cases, the woman's cycle goes astray, so there is no monthly bleeding. Read about in the article at the link.

Bloody discharge when taking birth control pills can sometimes be observed by girls using contraceptives to prevent unwanted menstruation. A break before a new pack of pills, in this case, is not done, but the next plate starts immediately. In most cases, menstruation does not begin, however, spotting may occur. They are slightly larger in volume, but do not have signs of bleeding. You can understand this by feeling and laying. It can bleed so much that the hygienic product becomes unusable in an hour, weakness, dizziness are felt. This is a direct indication of a pathology or hormonal disorder.

Adaptation never ends

The cause of a prolonged daub against the background of taking OK may be a violation of the rules for using a contraceptive or the fact of an incorrectly selected remedy. This justifies the side effects. Oral contraceptives are considered safe for a woman's health, and a negative reaction in the form of blood secretions is caused by a lack of a dose of one or another hormone.

This situation is well seen on the example of a specific stage of the course:

1. First tablets. At the beginning or half of the package, bleeding may be due to a lack of estrogen in the preparation. If you need to stop using OK, but it is advisable to consult a doctor and drink the plate to the end.
2. Remaining packaging. From the middle of the total number of tablets to the end of the package, spotting may begin due to the too low content of the progestogen component. And also the progestogen itself may not be suitable, therefore, the selection of another oral contraceptive is required, but it is impossible to abruptly stop using the old remedy, otherwise there is a risk of bleeding and other side effects.

Course termination

The appearance of discharge after the abolition of contraceptives is allowed for several months. Everything will depend on the ability of the female body to restore its own hormonal levels. But bleeding should not be systematic, otherwise you can not do without a medical examination.

Read what should be in the article by clicking on the link.

After the end of the course, secretion with blood may appear in one or two days. It resembles a daub and does not cause a woman much discomfort. Sometimes a woman's body reacts more strongly to stopping the use of OK, so more abundant discharge due to a sharp drop in hormone levels is not ruled out.

After how many months after OK, the reproductive system will cease to allocate pseudo-monthly?

In almost half of the women who decide to cancel a course of contraception, the smearing vaginal secret with blood disappears after 10-14 days. The following factors influence the duration of adaptation:

1. Age. The older the woman, the slower the state of the reproductive system stabilizes.
2. Total admission time. The shorter the course, the faster the chance of getting pregnant appears. When contraceptives have been used for many years, there is a risk that the body will be destabilized within six months or even 12 months.

Effect on menstruation

If a woman decides to stop drinking oral contraceptives, then it is necessary to prepare for the fact that there will be no heavy periods in the first few months. Monthly bleeding will become more and more over time, until the situation finally normalizes. The presence of meager pregnancy is considered normal.

After canceling OK, spotting is normal and a slight delay is acceptable. It can be caused by the following processes in the body:

1. Gradual normalization of the menstrual cycle.
2. Stabilization of temporary atrophic changes in the uterine mucosa.
3. Restoring the ability of the endometrium to implant.
4. Changes in the microflora of the vagina.
5. Decrease in the density of cervical mucus (after a mini-pill).

While all these processes continue, the menstrual cycle will not be able to become the same.

It is necessary to sound the alarm if menstruation is absent for several months, and against this background the general condition has worsened.

Danger of abrupt interruption

You can not abruptly stop taking birth control, otherwise serious health consequences cannot be avoided. Most often, there is a longer recovery period with spotting instead of menstruation. But the most dangerous consequence of an abrupt cessation of the course is uterine bleeding, which requires rapid hospitalization. Therefore, doctors advise taking all the pills from the package. The exception is the diagnosis of the following diseases:

• hypertension;
• diabetes;
• imbalance of lipid metabolism;
• a sharp drop in vision;
• liver problems.

Therefore, if you want to quit oral contraceptives, you should consult with your doctor so that he can choose the optimal dose reduction scheme based on a specific drug (Silhouette and others). This is the only way to avoid withdrawal syndrome with unpleasant side effects.

Causes of heavy bleeding when taking OK

The cause of breakthrough bleeding while taking OCs may be the following:

• taking the dose incorrectly (missing a day);
• two pills in one day;
• digestive problems (reduced absorption of the active substance);
• antibiotic treatment;
• the use of drugs that affect the central nervous system;
• taking phytopreparations with St. John's wort;
• a course of 63 days followed by a week break.

Special preparations (and others) will help stop the bleeding, but it is undesirable to resort to such means without consulting a doctor, the same applies to brewing herbs and other folk recipes.

What color is the secretion?

Most women complain about the appearance of brown discharge when taking birth control pills. Such secretion normally has a smearing character and a darker shade than that of ordinary menstruation. Pink or light red discharge is also allowed when there is more natural mucus than blood due to the influence of the oral contraceptive.

White discharge with a homogeneous consistency, odorless and unpleasant sensations should also not cause concern. Their appearance is especially important after the cancellation of OK, when the body shows that the recovery period is over. Yellow and allowed, but without itching and burning.

Briefly about the main

If you started taking contraceptives, then you should not immediately suspect pathological processes and serious hormonal disruptions. This is a natural reaction of the body in the first three months. The reason for going to the hospital is a protracted adaptation period, severe bleeding and a sharp deterioration in general well-being.

Hello Olga.

Rigevidon belongs to the class of combined monophasic oral hormonal contraceptives. In most cases, this drug is very well tolerated by women, however, like many other drugs, it can still provoke the development of various side effects that can be observed in various organs and systems of the female body. Including, the manifestation of side effects from the genitourinary system of the body is possible, namely, engorgement of the mammary glands, a change in libido, as well as the appearance of intermenstrual acyclic bleeding can be observed. As a rule, the appearance of mild acyclic spotting can be observed during the first three months of taking the drug, and this can be considered normal, and this situation does not require discontinuation of the drug. Such spotting is due to the fact that hormonal changes in the body occur, caused by the start of taking combined hormonal contraceptives.

If spotting persists for a long time, or there is severe bleeding from the genital tract, then the woman needs to visit a gynecologist, since it is quite possible that the drug will need to be discontinued, and in some cases special treatment will be prescribed.

It is possible that the bleeding you are experiencing is caused by taking this drug, so if you are very concerned about your health, then I would advise you to visit the doctor who prescribed you to take this drug. The fact is that before prescribing such drugs, a woman must undergo an examination by a gynecologist, as well as pass various tests, including tests that will help identify her natural hormonal background. Without this, it is impossible to correctly prescribe a contraceptive drug, since it is the natural hormonal background that determines which drug should be chosen, low-dose, medium-dose, or high-dose. By choosing a drug based on laboratory data, you can minimize the risk of side effects from taking combined oral contraceptives.

If spotting in your case is profuse, then visiting a gynecologist should not be postponed, since such bleeding may be associated with hormonal failure, which, in turn, may develop as a result of your taking hormonal oral contraceptives.

Each drug may or may not be suitable on an individual basis. An exception is not such a drug, which has gained popularity among users in the past few years, like Rigevidon. Reviews about it reflect various opinions that will help you understand in which cases it is worth taking this contraceptive, and in which it is better to look for alternative options.

"Rigevidon": composition

According to the composition, "Rigevidon" can be attributed to oral contraceptives of the combined type. The drug is monophasic, which means that in each tablet the concentration of the estrogenic and progestogen components is the same.

Based on the composition alone, a person without a special medical education is unlikely to be able to understand how suitable this or that drug is for him, including Rigevidon. Women's reviews, on the contrary, will help to present the big picture, highlight the features of not only a group of medicines, but also a specific type of pill.

Many users claim that they decided to take the drug not only because of its high performance. The main advantage of the drug is a gentle effect on the body. It's no secret that side effects and effects on other organs can nullify even the best indications. Given that contraceptives are supposed to be taken regularly for several years, the harm they cause should be minimized.

Active ingredients and their functions

How exactly does Rigevidon affect the body? Instructions, reviews of doctors and their comments will help to sort out complex concepts and find out how the drug differs from its closest analogues.

One of the important components of the contraceptive is levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic derivative of 19-nortestosterone. The substance demonstrates activity that is fully consistent with the effect of taking endogenous progesterone, but the strength of action is several times higher than that of the latter. This feature of levonorgestrel can significantly reduce its dose, protecting the woman's body from the excessive influence of the injected substances.

The tablets also contain ethinylestradiol, which is nothing more than a synthetic analogue of endogenous estradiol. The above substances are supplemented by other components, the influence of which is not so significant.

Efficiency

The effectiveness of the drug can be assessed by learning the opinion of users. What results does Rigevidon show? Reviews of women indicate that the pills can really be called reliable. The opinions of experts also confirm the effectiveness of the contraceptive.

All contraceptives are evaluated on a special scale, they are assigned one or another index according to the Pearl method. The indicator of "Rigevidon" is 0.1-0.9, which secures the title of an independent drug that does not require additional measures to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

As patients of gynecological consultations note, the tablets give a reliable result. Contraceptive pills "Rigevidon", reviews of which from obstetrician-gynecologists are mostly positive, surprise with their effectiveness, first of all, women who have tried the influence of other means or methods of contraception.

Main action

How exactly does Rigevidon affect the body? Reviews of users confirm that most of the changes pass without external manifestations. Experts also distinguish the following actions of the drug: suppression of ovulation, an increase in the viscosity of cervical mucus, a decrease in the sensitivity of the endometrium to the blastocyst.

It is necessary to consider in more detail the mechanism of action of the drug "Rigevidon". Reviews of doctors will help to understand the contribution of each individual active ingredient that is part of the contraceptive.

How exactly does the drug work?

The following aspects can be distinguished:

• blocking the release of releasing factors in the hypothalamus (namely, luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormone);
• inhibition of the secretion of gonadotropic and similar hormones by the pituitary gland;
• the maturation of the follicle slows down significantly, eventually it ruptures.

Summing up, it can be noted that the active components of the drug generally inhibit the course of ovulation, the likelihood of fertilization, and as a result, the onset of pregnancy is practically reduced to zero.

In addition, the gestagenic element of the substance, levonorgestrel, helps to increase the viscosity of the cervical secretion, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterine cavity, and in addition, due to a change in the texture of the endometrium, it interferes with the implantation of a fertilized egg.

Additional effects

In addition to the contraceptive result, the systematic use of the drug leads to a significant reduction in the risk of various gynecological diseases (we can highlight the reduction in the threat of the formation of ovarian cysts, various fibroadenomas and fibrocysts in the chest, congestion in the pelvic area).

Regarding the effect on the body of the drug "Rigevidon" reviews also indicate a decrease in the frequency of dysmenorrhea, a decrease in the volume of discharge during menstruation, as well as a decrease in the risk of ectopic pregnancy when taking the whole course.

Side effects - that's what worries users in most cases. Some fears can be dispelled by information from the manufacturers of the drug "Rigevidon" - instructions for use. Feedback from patients of gynecological clinics confirms the information that even after a particularly long use of the drug, fertility is fully restored after 1-3 cycles immediately after its cancellation. Taking pills will not prevent you from having children later, and it is this issue that worries many women.

The composition of the drug

The composition of the product also includes placebo tablets (7 placebo tablets account for 21 tablets, including active elements).

Some of the elements that make up the product, due to the concentration of iron salts, prevent the formation of anemia, and in addition, due to the lack of hormones in them, they contribute to an increase in the content of follicle-stimulating hormone in the body, which is necessary for the selection of the dominant follicle. Thus, when using the drug, there are no signs of hyperinhibition syndrome.

Pharmacokinetics of the drug

The pharmacokinetic properties of the active components of the drug form its overall effect. You can consider the influence of certain substances separately:

• Ethinylestradiol. When taken orally, it is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Its bioavailability reaches 48%. The apogee of the concentration of the active substance in plasma is usually noted 1-1.5 hours after ingestion. Due to absorption into the bloodstream, ethinyl estradiol binds to plasma proteins, mainly albumin, a tiny fraction continues to be in an unbound state. The initial stage of metabolism takes place in the walls of the intestinal tract, the next - in the liver. The most significant ethinylestradiol metabolites are considered to be HO-ethinylestradiol and 2-methoxyethinylestradiol. It is excreted both in its natural form and in combination with metabolites in the urine (approximately 40%) and feces (approximately 60%). The half-life is approximately 26 hours.
• Levonorgestrel. It is perfectly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, bioavailability is 100%. In plasma, it binds mainly to globulin and albumin. It is metabolized in the body with the formation of sulfate and glucuronide conjugates. Excreted as metabolites in urine and feces.

More information about the active ingredients will help you learn the instructions issued by the manufacturers of the drug "Rigevidon". Reviews will tell you how the remedy is tolerated by the body.

Indications

The drug is recommended for use as a method of contraception for women of childbearing age. The tool can also be prescribed to eliminate multifunctional pathologies of the monthly cycle or for its general correction. Tablets can be used to eliminate the causes and symptoms of the following abnormalities: dysmenorrhea, functional uterine bleeding, pronounced pain syndrome that forms in the middle of the cycle, and premenstrual syndrome. The drug is recommended for use in women with a moderately dominant estrogen type.

Instructions and method of application

Before prescribing the drug, it is recommended to find as much information as possible regarding the nuances of using Rigevidon contraceptives. Instructions, price, reviews and opinions of experts will help to get a preliminary idea of ​​​​the possible results of admission and whether this remedy is right for you.

Before writing a prescription, specialists must receive the results of a comprehensive gynecological examination. In addition, it is necessary to provide the results of general examinations and tests - blood pressure, glucose levels in urine and blood, general blood and urine tests, data on liver function, mammologist's conclusions and cytological examination of smears.

The drug is taken orally, the tablet is recommended to be consumed completely, without chewing or crushing, washing down with the required amount of water. In order to achieve the greatest result, the remedy should be taken at approximately the same time of day.

Purpose

As a contraceptive, the drug is prescribed 1 tablet per day. It is recommended to start taking it from the 1st or 5th day from the onset of menstruation. The duration of the course of white tablets is 21 days, after which the course must be supplemented by taking 7 red-brown tablets during the week.

During the period of taking red-brown tablets, girls usually experience menstrual-like discharge. If further contraception is necessary, after the completion of taking the red-brown tablets, the course can be resumed, adhering to the indicated scheme. Experts do not recommend avoiding breaks between adjacent courses (the full course lasts 28 days - 21 white tablets and 7 red-brown). The beginning of the next course should fall on the 28th day, preferably at the set time of day. The recommendations are almost the same for those who decide to change the previous oral contraceptive and start taking Rigevidon.

If no negative changes and side effects are observed when taking the pills, you can continue taking the pills as long as there is a need for contraceptives.

Application features

After an abortion, the remedy is usually prescribed for admission as early as possible, in the first few hours after the procedure, but not later than the next day after the medical intervention.

The drug in some cases can be prescribed to mothers after childbirth, in the absence of breastfeeding. In this case, it is necessary to start taking the substance no earlier than the first day of menstruation.

If the period of taking the contraceptive was shifted by less than a day, it can be resumed without taking additional measures. If 36 hours or more have passed from the previous dose, it is recommended to use auxiliary contraceptives.

In order to prevent intermenstrual bleeding, it is necessary to continue taking the tablets from the previously opened package, leaving the missed tablet. Red-brown tablets can be ignored, as they do not contain hormonal components.

Side effects

The vast majority of medicines demonstrate certain side effects, and Rigevidon tablets are no exception. Patient feedback helped to form a complete list of symptoms, distributing it into the following categories:

• first days: nausea, vomiting, nervousness, convulsions;
• periodically: rash, coarsening of the mammary glands, discomfort when wearing contact lenses;
• long-term use: impaired glucose uptake, changes in facial pigmentation, changes in body weight (decrease / increase), increased blood pressure.

A complete list can be found by examining in more detail the packaging of Rigevidon tablets. Instructions for use, reviews of users and the opinion of doctors agree that most complications occur under the influence of aggravating factors, which include alcohol intake, smoking, non-compliance with diet and sleep.

conclusions

The collection of information allows us to summarize what opinion the users express about the drug "Rigevidon". Price, reviews, lack of serious side effects, combined with high performance, explain the popularity of this contraceptive. Moderate cost (about 200 rubles for 21 pieces or 600 rubles for 63 pieces) distinguishes the drug from the background of analogues.

Updated:

Bleeding while taking birth control pills can normally occur in the first months after starting to use these drugs. If the woman is chosen correctly, then after a while the bloody daub will stop, and only regular menstrual-like discharge will occur. In cases where the latter persist for more than three months, the doctor will determine the cause and select another contraceptive.

If heavy bleeding appears in the middle of the cycle, then you need to contact the doctor in the near future. Allocations while taking contraceptives are different. They occur both normally and indicate that the selected drug is not suitable for a woman.

Adaptation bleeding

The maturation of eggs, ovulation and rejection of the endometrium during menstruation are regulated by the hormones of the female reproductive system. In the first phase of the cycle, the action of estrogens predominates, which stimulate the maturation of the follicle. A mature egg comes out of the follicle in the middle of the cycle, i.e. ovulation occurs. In the second phase, the level of estrogen and progesterone is increased, which prepares the walls of the uterus for possible implantation of the embryo.

The concentration of sex hormones in birth control pills is always less than the content of these active substances in a woman's body. Therefore, it takes a certain time to adapt to the action of the drug used.

Normally, for 2-3 months there may be spotting when taking contraceptives. They stop on their own after getting used to low doses of hormones. If spotting is insignificant, and the use of several daily pads is sufficient for hygiene, then no additional action is necessary. Brown discharge has this color due to the fact that a small amount of blood is mixed with vaginal mucus.

Cancellation of the drug or its replacement with another during this period is not required. The contraceptive effect is not reduced if the drug is taken on time.

When bleeding does not stop, becomes profuse and is accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, it is urgent to consult a doctor.

In every fourth woman, adaptation bleeding persists for 3-6 months. If after this period of time they do not disappear, and attempts to pick up another OK do not succeed, then this method of contraception should be abandoned.

menstrual flow

It should be understood that with this method of preventing pregnancy, it is not true menstruation that occurs, but withdrawal bleeding when taking OK. They are also called menstrual-like. It is these discharges that are normal when taking birth control pills.

Most contraceptives are taken within 21 days, and then necessary seven day break. For example, such a mode of reception of Regulon. A woman should wait for the appearance of menstruation 2-3 days after the last pill from the pack has been drunk.

Sometimes, during a break between packs, a girl worries that her period has not gone. If a woman regularly took OK in the previous month and did not delay taking the pill compared to the prescribed time for more than 12 hours, then on the 8th day you should start drinking the next pack of the contraceptive. It is not necessary to wait for the onset of menstrual discharge.

When a girl drinks contraceptives irregularly and is sexually active, and menstruation has not begun, then it is necessary to exclude the presence of pregnancy. Until then, it is not worth resuming the use of OK.

Some OK drink for 28 days, after which they immediately begin to drink tablets from a new package, without taking breaks. The release of blood will occur when taking those pills that do not contain hormones, that is, they are a placebo.

If menstruation before taking OK was regular, then after the abolition of contraceptives they remain stable. Sometimes periods are restored within 2-3 cycles. In cases where this does not happen, you should consult a doctor.

What do blood discharges indicate at the beginning and end of the reception

If the time of the adaptation period has passed, but the brown discharge in the form of a daub persists, then this may mean that the selected contraceptive is not suitable for the woman. In such a situation, it is necessary to replace the drug used with another one.

When a girl takes pills from the beginning or middle of the package, and spotting brown discharge occurs, this indicates an insufficient concentration of estrogen in the drug. In such a situation, it is necessary to select OK with a higher content of this hormone. For example, if similar discharges are found when taking a microdose contraceptive Jess, a drug from the low-dose group (Yarina) is prescribed.

If bleeding occurs in the middle of the cycle or when taking the last pills from the package, this may mean that the woman does not have enough progestogen content. In such a case, a drug with some other progestogen is prescribed.

Profuse bleeding

If, while taking contraceptive pills, profuse bleeding appeared, which are similar to menstrual-like, it indicates the occurrence of breakthrough bleeding. This is typical for the case when, after the influence of progesterone, the endometrium begins to be rejected, and the estrogen content in the taken OK is not enough to stop the uterine bleeding that has arisen.

In this case, you need to contact a specialist. But there may be situations when it is not possible to immediately go to an appointment with a gynecologist. Then doctors recommend taking a double daily dose of a contraceptive (1 tablet in the morning and evening). It is necessary to drink the drug in this mode daily until the bleeding stops.

Later, it is important to visit a gynecologist so that he finds out why this situation arose. Then he will recommend another drug. For example, if bleeding occurs while taking the microdose contraceptive Jess, the doctor will prescribe a low-dose OK (Yarin tablets or any other drug from this group).

Breakthrough bleeding can also occur when:

• the scheme of using an oral contraceptive is violated, i.e. the woman forgot to take another pill;
• diarrhea or vomiting occurred, which worsened the absorption of the contraceptive;
• a woman takes antibiotics or drugs that affect the functioning of the central nervous system;
• agents containing St. John's wort are used;
• the contraceptive regimen is prolonged (in this case, OK are taken for 63 days, followed by a break for 7 days, and then the pills are resumed).

Bleeding after emergency contraception

Such contraception is aimed at preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or with the ineffective use of other means. The drugs in this group include:

• gestagenic preparations (Postinor, Escapel);
• antihistamines (Ginepriston).

These funds must be used within 2 or 3 days after unprotected sexual contact. The drugs cause significant hormonal imbalances, which prevents the possible onset of pregnancy.

The most common side effect of emergency contraception is bleeding, which can begin several days after taking the drug. In some girls, the use of such measures leads to violations of the cycle.

Allocations when taking OCs of a bloody nature occur both in normal conditions and in various disorders. Therefore, if the adaptation period has passed, and the discharge persists, a doctor's consultation is necessary. Also, urgent help is needed in cases where bleeding is profuse, regardless of the duration of the drug. During the examination, the doctor will find out what caused the bleeding, stop it, and then decide which contraceptives the woman can take next.
