Estrogen increases the risk that you will develop endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus [womb]). The longer you take estrogen, the greater the risk that you will develop endometrial cancer. If you have not had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus), you should be given another medication called a progestin to take with estrogen. This may decrease your risk of developing endometrial cancer, but may increase your risk of developing certain other health problems, including breast cancer. Before you begin taking estrogen, tell your doctor if you have or have ever had cancer and if you have unusual vaginal bleeding. Call your doctor immediately if you have abnormal or unusual vaginal bleeding during your treatment with estrogen. Your doctor will watch you closely to help ensure you do not develop endometrial cancer during or after your treatment. In a large study, women who took estrogen with progestins had a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots in the lungs or legs, breast cancer, and dementia (loss of ability to think, learn, and understand). Women who take estrogen alone may also have a higher risk of developing these conditions. Tell your doctor if you smoke or use tobacco, if you have had a heart attack or a stroke in the past year, and if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had blood clots or breast cancer. Also tell your doctor if you have or have ever had high blood pressure, high blood levels of cholesterol or fats, diabetes, heart disease, lupus (a condition in which the body attacks its own tissues causing damage and swelling), breast lumps, or an abnormal mammogram (x-ray of the breast used to find breast cancer).The following symptoms can be signs of the serious health conditions listed above. Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms while you are taking estrogen: sudden, severe headache; sudden, severe vomiting; speech problems; dizziness or faintness; sudden complete or partial loss of vision;double vision; weakness or numbness of an arm or a leg; crushing chest pain or chest heaviness; coughing up blood; sudden shortness of breath; difficulty thinking clearly, remembering, or learning new things; breast lumps or other breast changes; discharge from nipples; or pain, tenderness, or redness in one leg.You can take steps to decrease the risk that you will develop a serious health problem while you are taking estrogen. Do not take estrogen alone or with a progestin to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia. Take the lowest dose of estrogen that controls your symptoms and only take estrogen as long as needed. Talk to your doctor every 3-6 months to decide if you should take a lower dose of estrogen or should stop taking the medication.You should examine your breasts every month and have a mammogram and a breast exam performed by a doctor every year to help detect breast cancer as early as possible. Your doctor will tell you how to properly examine your breasts and whether you should have these exams more often than once a year because of your personal or family medical history.Tell your doctor if you are having surgery or will be on bed rest. Your doctor may tell you to stop taking estrogen 4-6 weeks before the surgery or bed rest to decrease the risk that you will develop blood clots.Talk to your doctor regularly about the risks and benefits of taking estrogen.

It can be very dangerous. Pills are meant to be swallowed and can destroy the lining inside the nose when snorted. This would have to be surgically repaired if damaged. Just don't snort anything.

Eat them all the time at all hours of the day.  There is no way you can overdose.  All that will happen is that you will become extremely healthy and probably prett buff.

Nothing serious - as soon as you take off the patch your body is not getting the hormones (progestrin & estrogen) it needs to prevent you from ovulating.  Once the patch has been off for 24 hours, your body will start a so-called cycle aka break-thru bleeding.\n\nInstructions straight from their website read as follows:\n\nFor less than 24 hours: Try to reapply your patch or apply a new patch immediately. No backup contraception is needed and your "Patch Change Day" will remain the same.\n\nFor more than 24 hours, or if you are not sure for how long: Start a new 4-week cycle immediately by applying a new patch. You now have a new Day 1 and a new "Patch Change Day". You must use backup contraception, such as a condom, spermicide or a diaphragm, for the first week of your new cycle because you may become pregnant during this time.\n\n\nJust so long as you used back-up, you will be okay.  Your body is just adjusting to the hormones.  If however, you did not use back-up, you had better get a pregnancy test.

If you are that miserable, you should talk to your doctor about possibly taking the lowest dose possible of the hormones.  By not taking the hormones you "might" live longer because you won't be exposing yourself to the cancer risks.  But, is it worth it to you?

If you took enough to make yourself pass out then you did overdose. Meaning took more than the recommended amount. Very dangerous\n\n\n\nWhy are you trying to hurt yourself? You wont get a buzz from doing stupid stuff like that you will be more likely to hurt yourself. Not kill but have horrible ramifacations that could last a lifetime. You think your life is bad or was bad? Wait until you have to have medical treatment for what you have done to yourself. I am only telling you this because I care. I don't know you but I do care. Please talk to someone. You don't have to tell them what you did but talk to them about what you are going through so you don't let this happen again.

If they are water solulable vitamins then you will just pee them out but if they are fat solulable then you could overdose on them.

I doubt your pregnant.  With any hormonal method, you can have a fluctuation in your hormones which can make you spot.  However, pregnancy can occur on the patch depending on someone's weight.  If you weigh more than 198, the patch can't penetrate the body fat and there isn't enough hormone to keep from releasing an egg.  Some herbs can affect the Pill...St. John's Wort is one.  But I don't think it will affect the patch because it's metabolized in the body differently.

The best place to put your patch is on your upperback.  doctors say sometimes your side of your stomache.  What ever you do  DO NOT put it (if female) ON YOUR CHEST if you have a bra on because the medication will not be distributed correctly and will cause you great pain on your last day of usage.

It is normal to prescribe low-dose hormones or low-dose hormone birth control pills to women going through menopause to relieve some of their symptoms, such as hot flashes.  \n\nThere have been a variety of studies questioning the safety of hormonal treatment for women.  There is a link below providing a summary of some of these issues.\n\nIf you are concerned, you should discuss this with your doctor or seek a second opinion.\n\nI have also included a link to information about premature menopause, generally defined as menopause occuring in women under the age of 40.  There is no way to reverse menopause once the process has started, so the birth control pills your doctor prescribed are presumably meant to help with your symptoms.

I would highly suggest you do a pregnancy test however given the elevated estrogen exposure that is normal with the Patch it is possible you will have an irregular period, especially if you have started another form of Birth Control.  Take the test to rule out pregnancy though.

steroids aren't that dangerous, however, if you overdose your self, the problems are serious enough to destabilize you.  oral steriods like dexamethasone, prednisolone and other variants should be taken maximum for two weeks.  extending the course will lessen the efficacy of the drug and raise the adverse effects like bloating and sclerating ( hardening of tissues esp. heart valves)

Wear your tampon. You will be fine. I know you will be able to change because you cannot hold pee for 8+ hours

stay away from the damn pills.  they do eventually lead to heroin and they are very addictive..  Girls take them to lose weight and then they can't stop taking them because you blow up when you stop them.  trust me I have seen dozens of my friends turn into addicts due to the need to feel high and look thin.
