Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo question?
830988
Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo is a birth control pill that regulates a woman's hormones to mimic pregnancy.  It keeps you from ovulating (releasing an egg) and from developing the thickened uterine lining that nourishes the egg. \n\nIt doesn't matter if he pulls out or not, it is only effective if you take it on time every day without skipping it.

I'm weigh 235 and am also on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.  My doctor told me they work the same as regular strength pills, just less side effects.  Only the patch gets ineffective after 150 lbs.\n\nI've been on it 3 years and no pregnancy.

I was on this for 3 months (couldn't make it the 6 months) and had numerous problems.  Some people have little to no issues while others experience a lot.  Below is what happened to me.\n\n1. Continous migraine-like headaches.\n2. Dry heaves after eating anything.  It was very diffult to keep food down.  I lost 16 lbs in 3 months.\n3. This one's obvious - hot flashes and night sweats.\n4. Anxiety.  I felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin sometimes.\n5. Heart palpitations.\n6. I would get a fluttering that started near my heart and then expanded out just a few seconds before a hot flash.  It was really weird.\n7. Memory loss and difficulty concentrating.\n\nThese were the main issues I had.\n\nI was on this for endometriosis.  It stopped my periods but there was still some pain.  The side effects were so bad though that my doctor put me on hormones which caused the period to start back up!!!  Anyway, based on my experience I wouldn't recommend this as a first drug of choice.  There may be better options.\n\nThe other GnRH agonists similar to Lupron are Zolodex and Synarel.  Synarel is a nasal spray and Zolodex is a subcutaneous implant.  My doctor said that Zolodex is painful and he didn't recommend it.  Synarel may be a good option because if there are lots of problems you can stop taking it.  You can't squeeze out the injection if you have problems.\n\nGood luck.

It is very much possible...The body will try to reject what it thinks is a foreign body.  I'm surprised at the ortho who did not tell u that this could be possible.  Contact ur FP or Ortho to get test done.  There was a few yrs back that they did have issues with hip replacement and knee replacemnet parts.  Please talk to the surgeon who did ur hubby's hip surgery.  There also could be some underline issues...so please make the appointment.

It depends on which side effects you have.  I take Mircette, which is one of the lowest-estrogen pills available.  It only has two completely hormone-free days, so it is good for some side effects like breakthrough bleeding.  It's also a monophasic (three weeks of the same level of hormones every day) so it might be good for you if you have mood swings, depression, or other side effects caused by the triphasic nature of Ortho Tri Lo.  I took Ortho Tri (the high dose version) and it made me depressed.  Mircette helped that a lot.\n\nAnother low dose pill is Alesse, but I don't know much about that one since I've never taken it.

The best way to regulate cycles is The Pill.  Talk to you GYN about your options!

Une seule solution: Si tu en "veux" VRAIMENT. Body-building, en douceur les premiers mois pour éviter tendinites, ruptures de ligaments et... Concentration d'acide lactique dans les muscles. Prendre un complexe vitaminé, régime en fonction de la corpulence de départ. Demander détails au prof. Ne pas fumer. Huit heures de sommeil. Vélo=bon complément pour le rythme cardiaque et... Beaucoup de sueur, de patience et de souffrance. Mais uniquement les pectos, sans le reste....  Pas très joli! Question d'équilibre, comme disait l'autre

If you don't work out then make sure that you exercise during the the week & a half prior to your period starting.  If you do work out then step up the aerobics for that week & a half.  Walk at least a mile every day that you're having your period.  Also, drink as much water as you can handle starting the week & half before your period and continue throughout the period.  Also, take some extra vitamin B12.  Lay off caffeine, too.\n\nThe birth control pills may actually be causing the pain.  That's what happened to me.  If you find out that the birth control pills ARE part of the problem....DON'T try ortho evra.  I tried it & it worked fine for a few months & then I went through hell with it.  I've been off of ortho evra for almost a year & body has still not recovered fully.

John, after looking at the photo of the bike, it looks like the seat is too far back (bad geometry). A plumbline dropped from the outside of the knee should hang close to the center of the pedal post when the pedals are in the 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock postion. Yes, this improper position could potetially cause knee stress, as could seat height, fore and aft positioning, and other factors. I'd recommend having a professional bike tech help you find a good bike, a little money spent on this could save doctor bills and pain later.I hope this is helpful, Steve

First I would ask for an echocardiogram with & without saline (water bubbles); this will show any & hopefully all holes in your heart. I had it done & they found I was missing a chamber and had holes on the opposite side of my heart which required them to "cath" my heart. They make a small slice in the groin area & go through a main artery in your leg up to your heart. I'm only 5' & 100 lbs & they couldn't knock me out with morphine (I watched the entire procedure & ticked off my cardiologist -lol). My personal opinion would be 1. ask questions, make a list if you have to, 2. check out the surgeons & their history, & 3. if they are as good as they check out to be the procedure will be a cakewalk for you. I was 38 when they found all of this & now I'm 43 and alive to see my baby (23) get married this coming August to a wonderful young lady. My Dad had 2 triple arterial bypasses & he lost a leg in Korea and God bless him, he'll be 79 this July. Yes, I had a good role model but it is normal to get upset when a Dr mentions a prob w/the heart & that you have to face surgery. I now know how a lobster feels having its chest cracked but thorasic & cardiac surgery is so advanced that I can promise you that you'll be fine. Try to keep a positive attitude and have faith; they told me after 3 days that if I could walk up & down a flight of stairs 4 times, I could go home..........I bolted & got my boney butt outta that hospital & back into my own home in no time. My thoughts & prayers are with you (Navy brat here) but above all : keep the faith.\nBeth

Congratulations on the win!\n\nPity about your knee. I think you should do two things:\n\n1 If this is persistent, get some advice from a good sports physio or a specialist doctor. It doesn't sound within the normal range of post-ride aches and pains.\n\n2 Change your pedals for a set with more float - both frogs and eggbeaters are good in this respect. Maybe even consider returning to platforms. Try a few vigorous training rides on platforms and see if this cures the problem. \n\nIf you have the typical woman's wide pelvis your knee joints will be inwardly rotated to a greater degree than some (straight up and down) women and most men. You require the maximum floatability because the anatomical relationship in the length from hip joint to knee joint causes a lot more rotational movement of the long female femur. \n\nDon't risk your knees, you'll spend more than half your life regretting it. I speak from experience. I'm a lifelong mad-keen cyclist. Now I'm in my mid-50's a ride every day with clicky knees and a dull, precisely bounded pain somewhere in the medial side of my right knee joint. Getting up stairs is painful for me and sometimes so acute I think my right knee is going to give way. Its a heavy price to pay when I still have maybe 35 years cycling left in me.

ma femme fait du triathlon. \n\nAvantages : développement du souffle, du cycle cardio-vasculaire, du corps en général. L'association des 3 sports (natation, cyclisme et course) permet d'obtenir un physique équilibré et harmonieux :-). Très bon esprit dans ce sport, beaucoup d'entraide.\n\nInconvénients : 3 sports donc 3 fois plus d'entraînements. Eprouvant, surtout si tu fais des compétitions.

Not unless u're under the age of 16!!!! The NHS are really strict about ortho treatment and even if it affects ur eating and stuff it would have to be really severe if they were to go ahead with it. It's all to do with your growth! your bone toughens up as u get older and the success rates reduce so they steer away from it!
