Q. How soon will I bleed after taking Regestrone?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you asked, yes, it is common to have nausea after taking Regestrone pills, as it is a hormonal pill. Your periods will stop only after stopping the tablet and should be getting any time between 7-10 days after stopping it, as it varies from person to person. MTP (medical termination of pregnancy) can be offered till 24 weeks of gestation, if the pregnancy is assumed to be constituting grave injury to the physical or mental health of the woman. Although they have not clearly mentioned, as the scenario you mentioned, any unwanted pregnancy (arising due to rape or contraceptive failure) can be a grave mental injury to a woman. Also in your scenario, I would like to know, why would a woman consider a termination of pregnancy at an advanced gestational age, if neither there were any complications nor it happens due to contraception failure. But one needs to get it approved by two registered medical practitioners for going ahead with the termination of pregnancy.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Any combined hormonal contraceptive pills can be used for regulating periods for a short term, depending on the underlying cause. If it is because of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), then a trial of three to six months and then stopping it to check whether the cycles have regularized is the commonly followed protocol.

As per your query, yes, Loette (Levonogestrel + Ethinyl Estradiol) is a combined oral contraceptive pill that can be used for both birth control as well as for regularization of menstrual cycle.

As per the effects of taking it for a long term, there is a risk of developing breast cancer and cervical cancer of which declines after stopping it.

And if you are planning on starting OCPs (oral contraceptive pills) for your irregular periods along with the added benefit of contraception, it is advisable to consult your gynecologist in person to discuss all the possible medical issues if any, you have to look and assess for any risk of side effects which can be life threatening like exaggeration of migraines, blood clot development in legs, and risk of stroke.

I hope this helps.
