Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had irregular periods. So, my family doctor suggested to have Femilon. I had Femilon for over a year and stopped it three months back. After that I had two I-pills within a span of two weeks and my periods have started two weeks earlier. Kindly suggest a solution.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read and understood your problem.
Period starting early is due to effect of I-pill. You do not need to do anything. But, if you have taken two I-pills in two weeks for contraception, then it is better to continue with Femilon (combination of Desogestrel and Ethinyl estradiol).
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had dry lips when I am on Femilon and also have hot flashes. I am also getting painful sores around my vagina. I would like to have sex without a condom with my husband. Please suggest a solution.

You can change to simpler oral pills like Ovral (combination of Norgestrel and Ethinyl estradiol) and take vitamin B complex along with that. Even then if you get side effects, then you can go for non-medicated loop intrauterine device (IUD).
