Pregnancy while taking RegulonPregnancy while taking Regulon

Action of "Regulon"

This is a combined oral contraceptive, which, when taken daily, inhibits the growth of the dominant follicle.
Those. ovulation does not occur. Therefore, you will not be able to get pregnant. The probability of conception is only 0.01%. This medicine perfectly normalizes hormone production. Therefore, usually after three months of use, even irregular menstruation goes like clockwork. Sometimes gynecologists can extend the period of treatment with oral contraceptives, so do not be upset if you are prescribed Regulon for 6 months.

How does Regulon work?

Before we figure out whether it is possible to get pregnant while taking Regulon, let's look at the principle of action of this drug. The drug belongs to the group of combined oral contraceptives. It is, as you know, used to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Like most other COC products, it consists of synthetic hormones such as:

1. Ethyline estradiol. A hormone that belongs to the group of estrogen substances. It is a synthetic analogue of natural estrogen produced by a woman's ovaries and adrenal glands. And it is thanks to this hormone that the development of the reproductive system and the processes of growth and endometrial rejection are regulated during the menstrual cycle.
2. Desogestrel. An analogue of progestogen, due to which ovulatory processes are inhibited and the thickness of the secretion in the cervical canal changes. This substance reduces the level of estradiol to levels characteristic of the early follicular phase.

As is clear, the contraceptive effect of Regulon is associated with the suppression of ovulation processes and the creation of unfavorable conditions for conception and implantation of a fertilized egg.

Important! Taking COCs is strictly contraindicated during lactation, due to a decrease in the secretion of breast milk and changes in its composition.

In what cases does the risk of conception increase?

There are several reasons why you can get pregnant while taking Regulon:

• missing one or more tablets;
• severe poisoning with vomiting and diarrhea;
• taking antibiotics and other medications.

A missed dose is considered to be a delay in taking the medication for more than 12 hours. Try to take these tablets

at the same time. Accordingly, if you needed to take a pill at 8 am, but you did not do this until 8 pm, then the risk of conceiving a baby increases.

Spontaneous ovulation may occur, so if you miss a pill for the next 2 weeks, use additional contraception. Use condoms or spermicidal gels.

If you are poisoned and have vomiting and diarrhea, then the drug has not had time to be absorbed. Therefore, you need to protect yourself with other means until your period appears. Only after menstruation can you refuse additional protection.

Operating principle

Oral contraceptives include follicle-stimulating hormone and progesterone. They suppress ovulation, which is why conception does not occur.

Indications

Before taking the drug, you should consult your doctor. When you start taking Regulon, changes occur in the body:

• the menstrual cycle becomes shorter;
• pain during menstruation subsides;
• reduce the likelihood of developing anemia;
• reduce the likelihood of ectopic pregnancies;
• Regulon acts as a 99.98% contraceptive.

Reception cycle

For 21 days, take one pill per day.
It is advisable to take the drug at the same time. After 21 days there is a break for 7 days. At this point, menstruation will begin. Then start taking one tablet a day again, using the 21x7 regimen, even if you haven’t had your period yet or started on the last day before taking it again. If you want to “delay” your period (for example, you are going on vacation), do not stop taking oral contraceptives. You can delay menstruation for up to 3 months, but it is better not to do this, as a malfunction in the body may occur and breakthrough bleeding will appear.

Possible negative aspects

Side effects:

• allergic reactions to one of the components;
• severe sensitivity of the mammary glands;
• nausea and vomiting;
• dizziness;
• general weakness of the body;
• thrombosis (especially when smoking);
• bleeding between periods.

You should select pills only with your doctor.

Time of pregnancy after discontinuation of the drug

Gynecologists advise starting conception 3-4 months after stopping the drug. This period is quite enough for the body to learn to live without additional hormones.

You cannot immediately try to conceive a baby after stopping the medication.

It is possible that spontaneous miscarriage will occur in the early stages of pregnancy. This is due to the fact that Regulon makes the endometrium thin, and accordingly, the fertilized egg cannot attach normally to the uterus. If you have regular periods 3 months after stopping the medication, you can safely get pregnant.

Regulon. Reviews, gynecology forum

04/10/2009, Anya

Tell me what is the result?

There is only one answer to this question: if you take the pills correctly and follow all the gynecologist’s recommendations, after you stop taking Regulon birth control pills, you can plan a pregnancy.

This is due to the fact that the components of the drug are eliminated from the body quite quickly (usually within 24 hours). And it is for this reason, to guarantee protection from unwanted pregnancy, you need to take Regulon strictly on schedule.

Pregnancy while taking medication

In this case, you do not need to finish the package of tablets. Stop taking it immediately afterwards.

contraceptive You need to see a doctor and get an ultrasound, because... there is a risk of miscarriage due to incompetence of the endometrium and corpus luteum of the ovary.

Afterwards, all its components are washed out of the body in just a day. Therefore, this medicine cannot harm the embryo. Reviews indicate that usually immediately after stopping taking the pills, the menstrual cycle becomes regular.

Overdose

Symptoms of an overdose of Regulon are:

• dyspepsia;
• nausea;
• vomit;
• severe headache ;
• cramps of the calf muscles;
• Vaginal bleeding not associated with menstruation.

Since the drug does not have a specific antidote, symptomatic therapy is used to relieve overdose symptoms. First aid after taking a high dose of Regulon is gastric lavage (it is recommended to do this in the first two to three hours after taking the pills).

If you get pregnant while taking the pills

If it turns out that a woman was still able to get pregnant while taking the drug, and it was decided to continue the pregnancy, there is no particular reason to sound the alarm.
A short-term effect of the pills on the expectant mother’s body does not threaten the fetus with genetic abnormalities, so such a pregnancy is quite possible under the supervision of a doctor (with timely tests, ultrasound, etc.). However, you cannot finish a blister of pills that you have started: as soon as you become aware of your pregnancy, you must immediately stop using oral contraceptives!

Is it possible to get pregnant while taking Regulon?

Many women do not fully believe in the effectiveness of birth control pills, so they often ask this question. Despite the fact that the drug "Regulon" and pregnancy are usually incompatible concepts, sometimes it happens that conception occurs while taking the pills. Most likely, the fact is that you took a pill at the wrong time or took antibiotic pills. Or this could happen due to individual intolerance to the drug "Regulon", and pregnancy occurred due to this. Stop taking the pills immediately if this situation happens to you, and immediately consult a doctor for examination. If you want to continue your pregnancy, you should not worry too much about taking medication at the same time, the main thing is to stop taking it in time. If you stop taking the pills, there will be no toxic effects on the fetus, and your pregnancy will proceed normally.

How to get pregnant after Regulon

There are no special indications after Regulon. If the course of treatment is completed correctly, then within 3-4 months pregnancy occurs in 95%. In addition, doctors note increased work of the ovaries against the background of “rest”.

Special doctor's recommendations

There are cases when, after stopping birth control, the body cannot normalize its functioning. Ovulation is weak or absent altogether. In this case, doctors recommend stimulating the ovaries so that the egg can mature normally and be released from the follicle.

If you miss a pill

The likelihood of conception is possible if more than 12 hours have passed since the last OC was taken, and during this time there was unprotected sexual intercourse. Such cases are rare, but they do occur.

Effect of the drug on pregnancy and its course

Doctors recommend planning conception after stopping OCs 2-3 months in advance. If you are already pregnant, but do not know about your situation, do not worry. The composition of the tablets is chemical analogues of hormones; they are not capable of causing defects or mutations in a child.

If you suspect you are pregnant, you should stop taking birth control and visit a gynecologist.

Contraception not only prevents unwanted pregnancy, but also treats the female body. Once you stop taking oral contraceptives, your chance of conceiving quickly increases. For those whose body recovered quickly after withdrawal, conception will occur in the first three months. Girls whose body is restoring its functioning need to wait a little.

Instructions for use

You should start taking pills from the first day of the menstrual cycle, regardless of the nature of the discharge. If the first day is missed and the dose is started before the fifth, it is necessary to use additional precautions over the next two weeks. It is not advisable to start taking it after the fifth day of the cycle; it is recommended to wait until the next cycle.

It is important to strictly follow the dosage schedule, without missing a single day, and take the medicine at the same time of day. After 21 days you need to take a break for a week, and then resume taking it. During the break, bloody menstrual-like discharge from the vagina will occur.

You can “forget” about taking it for up to 12 hours without reducing the effectiveness of the tablets; if you miss it for a longer period of time, there is a risk of becoming pregnant; you must follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

How to use

The drug should be taken at approximately the same time of day (regardless of meals) - 1 tablet daily. It is important to monitor your cycle. The first tablet is taken no later than the 5th day from the start of menstruation. The course lasts exactly three weeks (21 days). Then menstrual-like discharge appears, and a seven-day break is necessary. And then the intake is repeated according to the same scheme: you drink for 3 weeks - a week off. The release form - 21 tablets in a blister - significantly simplifies the use of the contraceptive.

Pregnancy does not occur when taking Regulon due to the fact that the drug inhibits ovulation, increases the thickness of cervical mucus and prevents implantation of the egg if it is fertilized.

Are there any rules for completing the appointment?

There are no strict rules for conception to occur after taking this oral contraceptive.
Regulon is excreted from the body one day after discontinuation . But when planning a pregnancy, reproductive specialists recommend stopping its use 2 - 3 months before trying to get pregnant. If you use the contraceptive for a long time, this period may increase to 6 months.

Additionally, studies may be prescribed to determine the level of hormones necessary for conception in the blood, determine the normal functioning of the ovaries, the course of ovulation, the state of the endometrium and the properties of cervical mucus.

Symptoms of pregnancy when taking ok

When taking birth control pills, you may experience pregnancy symptoms that are less severe than in ordinary women. The following signs should alert you:

• absence of menstruation, which previously came 2 days after discontinuation of the OC;
• engorgement of the mammary glands, their increased sensitivity;
• feeling of weakness, increased fatigue.

Changes in taste, appetite, nausea and signs of toxicosis are not typical for the first week or two of pregnancy; these signs appear somewhat later.

When taking OK, the pregnancy test will be positive if conception has occurred. A weakly positive result appears when the embryo attaches ectopically.

Stopping taking Regulon

The course of taking the drug is 21 days - exactly the number of tablets in the package. And it is after 21 days that you need to stop taking the drug. In the vast majority of cases, after stopping Regulon, spotting appears on days 2-3, somewhat similar to menstruation. And here it is important to know that after this discharge stops, the chances of conception are very high.

Considering that this drug suppressed a woman’s reproductive system, when planning a pregnancy, doctors still recommend allowing the body to recover. You need to understand that for a long time, synthetically obtained hormones have been entering the body, therefore, it can be said with a greater degree of probability that the production of these substances in the body is impaired.

So, according to medical research, 2-3 months are enough to completely restore the full functioning of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. Although, all this is very individual. Therefore, when you can plan a pregnancy, a fertility specialist recommends.

As for whether pregnancy is possible while taking Regulon, it is worth saying the following: the effectiveness of all COCs is 98%, so the likelihood of conception, although very minimal, is there. It is also worth noting that if the drug dosage regimen is not followed, fertilization of the egg by sperm may also occur.

Regulon and alcohol

My husband periodically uses Tramadol, as he says, in order to relax, he smokes marijuana. She wants to have children in the future, will this affect conception?

Under the influence of oral contraceptive pills, due to the estrogen component, the level of some laboratory parameters (functional indicators of the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, thyroid gland, hemostasis indicators, levels of lipoproteins and transport proteins) may change.

After taking the last pill, a woman may experience the appearance of menstrual-like bleeding. A woman’s body completely restores its reproductive function within a few months. Usually after 3-6 months a woman can become pregnant.

For special situations in a woman’s life, in particular, restoration of fertility after discontinuation of hormonal contraceptives, the method has special rules. I talk about them in video lessons dedicated to this topic.

Withdrawing the drug: what are the chances of pregnancy?

If you follow the rules for taking the drug, conception after stopping contraception with Regulon is usually not a problem.
It is enough to give the body some time to restore the natural state of the reproductive system. Moreover, if one or more doses of the contraceptive are missed, pregnancy may occur while continuing to take the drug.

But it is still necessary to take into account the possibility of disturbances in the functioning of the female reproductive system after taking Regulon . The reason for this may be:

• menstrual irregularities;
• changes in hormone levels;
• inflammatory processes and infectious diseases occurring while taking birth control pills;
• lack of vitamins and microelements in the body;
• pathological changes in the body as a result of previous abortions or spontaneous miscarriages.

Contraindications

- the presence of severe and/or multiple risk factors for venous or arterial thrombosis (including severe or moderate arterial hypertension with blood pressure ≥ 160/100 mm Hg);

- presence or indication in history of precursors of thrombosis (including transient ischemic attack, angina pectoris);

- migraine with focal neurological symptoms, incl. in the anamnesis;

- venous or arterial thrombosis/thromboembolism (including myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis of the leg, pulmonary embolism) currently or in history;

In principle, you should not forget that this is a hormonal drug. Therefore, side effects and risks may still occur.

Pregnancy after taking the drug

pathological changes in a woman’s body requiring additional treatment;

• lack of essential vitamins and minerals;
• infections or inflammatory processes due to long-term use of Regulon;
• disruption of the normal menstrual cycle;
• hormonal imbalance due to taking the drug.

In what cases is the contraceptive effect reduced?

The effectiveness of protection against pregnancy when using the drug "Regulon" may decrease for a number of reasons:

• combined use of the drug with antispasmodics, babiturates, antibiotics of the tetracycline, ampicillin and rifampicin groups;
• simultaneous use of laxatives;
• herbal medicine with some medicinal plants that affect hormonal levels (St. John's wort, hogweed, red brush, etc.);
• alcohol consumption.

As is known, oral hormonal contraceptives have a depressing effect on the growth of the uterine endometrium. If fertilization has occurred, the egg simply has nothing to attach to, and it is then excreted from the uterus with menstrual blood. But sometimes, even while taking Regulon, for a number of reasons (missing a pill or other factors that reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive effects of pills), the egg manages to penetrate the endometrium. And then the body begins to work as during a normal pregnancy, supporting the development of a new life.

Rebound effect - myth or reality?

Many fertility doctors prescribe oral contraceptives in a short course in order to stimulate the ovaries to work more actively. Among doctors, this phenomenon is called the “rebound effect.”

So, according to some experts, taking COCs gives the ovaries a little rest, after which they begin to work with renewed vigor. Moreover, for greater persuasiveness, doctors promise patients “twins” or even “triplets.” For an ordinary woman without a medical education, with problems with natural conception, any arguments from specialists will sound very convincing.

In fact, while taking hormonal COCs, women’s appendages not only do not “rest”, but also experience severe external influences. This is due to the fact that the mechanism of action of all hormonal contraceptives is to suppress the functions of the appendages and other organs of the reproductive system. As a result, such “rest” leads to various kinds of hormonal imbalances in a woman’s body, among which the most common are:

• menstrual irregularities;
• inhibition of follicle growth;
• decreased cervical patency;
• weakening of the contractility of the fallopian tubes;
• decreased activity of the corpus luteum.

What to do if you missed a pill

So, for example, in the first or second week of the cycle, missing one pill can be compensated by taking two at once the next day.
If two days of dosing are missed, you need to take 2 tablets for the next couple of days while using an additional method of contraception (for example, condoms). If the omission occurs in the third week of the cycle, then there should not be a 7-day break in taking it between cycles. However, with unprotected sexual intercourse, even one omission of Regulon can lead to pregnancy.

If, nevertheless, an error was made in taking the drug "Regulon" and the pregnancy was then terminated, taking the pills is resumed from the first day after the abortion. After childbirth, Regulon is approved for use from the 22nd day, however, provided that the woman is not breastfeeding.

Changing birth control pills correctly

To switch to other hormonal contraceptive pills, you need to purchase them in advance. To change the OC to an estrogen-progestin drug of similar composition, you need to drink the entire package, then do not take a 7-day break, but immediately after finishing the package the next day, start taking a new contraceptive. You cannot change COCs in the middle of the cycle, this will cause a hormonal shock in the body, which can result in bleeding or an unplanned pregnancy.

The rules for switching from one oral contraceptive to another depend on the number of tablets in the package. If there are 21 of them, as in Yarin or Regulon, then you should start taking the new drug the day after the last tablet. Jess contains 28 tablets, but the last 4 of them are inactive. To change these contraceptives to others, you need to take the first tablet of the new drug on the 25th day of the cycle, immediately after the active pill from Jess.

Attention! Contraceptive Jess Plus also contains 28 tablets, but the last 4 include vitamins. They are also not taken into account when switching to another OC.

The composition of the drug Rigevidon is different .
It is available in two versions - with 21 and 28 tablets. But in the latter case, the last 7 tablets are inactive. Therefore, when switching from Regulon to a new COC, they start drinking it from day 22, and throw away the remaining 7 tablets. If there are contraindications to taking COCs and the doctor recommended progestin drugs, they are also started to be taken after the active tablets in the package are gone. But if you need to switch to other combined contraceptive pills and stop taking progestin pills, this can be done on any day of the cycle. There is no need to wait until the end of the package of Lactinet or Charozette.

Some women decide to change the length of their cycle or are looking for a way to delay the onset of menstruation by continuously taking COCs. In this case, it is recommended to take one drug for 3 months in a row without a 7-day break. This scheme is suitable for older reproductive ages in the presence of the following pathologies:

• endometrial hyperplasia;
• myoma;
• endometriosis or adenomyosis.

You can reschedule your daily intake of COCs from a new package. You cannot do this in the current one, because the contraceptive effect may be reduced. To maintain the contraceptive effect, you need to follow the following scheme:

1. Take the full course of 21 tablets.
2. Take a break.
3. Take a tablet from a new package without waiting for the usual time after 7 days, i.e. do it 12-20 hours earlier.

For example, if contraceptives were taken in the evening, but are planned to be taken in the afternoon or morning, the first pill is taken in the afternoon before the usual time.

When changing the time of taking contraceptives, you need to set a reminder or alarm, because the developed habit of taking pills at a certain time of day can lead to a missed dose.

Rescheduling for progestin-only birth control is more difficult. They require precise timing. Therefore, to reschedule after the last pill, wait until the desired date and take the pill. But over the next 7 days, barrier contraception is used.

Possible problems

With the correct use of this medicine and its correct withdrawal, no problems were observed during pregnancy. However, if these rules are violated, there is a possibility of pathologies occurring during its course.

Frozen pregnancy

It can occur if pregnancy is not planned correctly after Regulon is discontinued due to unrestored hormonal levels. To avoid this, it is necessary to find out the level of hormones necessary for the normal course of pregnancy before its onset .

How to get pregnant quickly after stopping the most popular birth control pills

Pregnancy after finishing taking OCs usually occurs within six months. The rate of conception is usually not affected by the type of contraceptives used. But in order for fertilization to occur as quickly as possible, you need to drink only pills selected by your doctor. Today, most gynecologists prefer the following OK.

Regulon

Regulon is a popular oral contraceptive based on the synthetic hormones desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. With proper use and regular examination, such tablets can be taken continuously for 5 years or more. Conception often occurs immediately after taking the OC. But in order to avoid miscarriage due to the thin endometrium, it is recommended to protect yourself with condoms for the first 3 cycles.

Yarina

Yarina is a monophasic combined contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and drosperinone. This contraceptive is often prescribed to normalize hormonal levels with increased testosterone, which can result in problems with conception. If you stop taking it, gestation occurs within 1 year. If this does not happen, then the reason lies in ovulation disorders or serious pathologies of the reproductive system.

Jess

In terms of its composition, Jess is an analogue of Yarina and also has an antiandrogenic effect, thanks to which gynecologists prescribe contraception to girls who have problems conceiving. This drug is often recommended for women planning pregnancy at a later age (35 years or more). But in order for the long-awaited fertilization without complications to occur after discontinuation of Jess Plus, the expectant mother needs to give up smoking and alcohol.

Novinet

This is an analogue of Regulon, which is not prescribed by doctors as often as previous contraceptive drugs, but is also an effective remedy. The chances of pregnancy after discontinuation of Novinet increase by 60%. But to avoid complications, gynecologists do not advise getting pregnant in the first 2 months. Although there are cases where conception occurred already in the first weeks and the child was born completely healthy.

Features of taking Regulon

If, due to forgetfulness or some other reason, the first day of the cycle was missed, you can start from the second or even the fifth. But then you should add additional methods of protection, such as a condom, for the first 7 days. If more than 5 days have passed since the start of the cycle, it is better to postpone taking the medicine until the next one.

In case of early abortion, it is recommended to take Regulon from the first day after the operation. A different situation is observed after childbirth or late abortion - you should start on days 21-28.

When to plan to conceive

When planning pregnancy, it should be premature: no later than two to three months before the expected conception. And in some cases much longer (it is important to consult your doctor about this). All this time you need to protect yourself with condoms or use other methods of barrier contraception. This is necessary to restore hormonal levels in the body of the expectant mother, since while taking Regulon the natural functioning of the hormonal system undergoes changes. The longer a woman takes the pills, the more time it will take her to restore her natural hormonal levels.

It is important to drink the entire monthly course of pills to the end, and only then stop taking them. Otherwise, hormonal imbalance will occur.

Do not worry if pregnancy does not occur immediately after Regulon. Sometimes it may take 6-12 months before you see two lines on the test. And only after a year should you sound the alarm.

Rules to follow to get pregnant faster after stopping contraception

To quickly fertilize an egg immediately after stopping contraception, you must adhere to the following rules:

• Undergo a full medical examination.
• Start taking vitamin and mineral complexes.
• Review your diet, eliminating fast food, carbonated drinks and other junk foods.
• Stop drinking alcohol and quit smoking.
• Lead an active lifestyle, do yoga and meditation.

It is also very important to avoid stressful situations for the speedy onset of gestation. Some women try to get pregnant immediately after stopping the OC and worry if it doesn’t work out for them. The body needs to recover, so there is no need to worry if the test does not show 2 lines in the first months. Strong emotional stress can negatively affect the state of the reproductive system.

Is it possible to misfire?

"Regulon" is one of the most effective contraceptives. The risk of misfire is 0.01%. In other words, among 10,000 women who took this contraceptive according to all the rules for a year, only one became pregnant.

The main reason why the drug may not be effective is if you miss a pill. It is important to maintain regularity when taking Regulon. Is it possible to get pregnant while taking the drug? Yes, if you break the 24-hour interval between taking pills: already 36 hours after taking the last pill, you can say that there is no 100% protection against pregnancy in the current cycle.

When the cycle of taking a hormonal drug is disrupted, the likelihood of spontaneous ovulation increases against the background of a surge of natural hormones. And this is exactly what can happen if you delay taking at least one tablet for more than 12 hours. However, timely precautions can still avoid pregnancy if no more than 1-2 pill doses were missed due to forgetfulness.

Avoiding birth control pills when planning pregnancy

It is important to stop taking hormonal birth control pills correctly to avoid shock to the body. If a woman decides to plan a pregnancy, then after the preparatory stage, which includes examination and treatment, you can finish the package and not start a new one. Normally, fertility is restored in the next cycle.

If during the use of contraceptives there were violations of priming, some pills were missed or taken incorrectly, this does not exclude the occurrence of pregnancy. Therefore, if you suspect conception or unpleasant symptoms appear, you should stop taking hormonal medications immediately. After a negative test, you need to wait until your period and start a new pack.

Risks and possible complications during conception

After taking hormonal medications, disruptions in the menstrual cycle often occur, which can make it difficult to conceive. Regulon is no exception, and possible complications, especially with long-term use, include irregular menstruation, lack of vitamins, inflammatory processes that lead to the inability to conceive and require additional treatment.

special instructions

If taking Regulon is accompanied by a deterioration in liver test results, it is recommended to immediately stop taking the pills.

acyclic intermenstrual bleeding may occur , which is not a reason to discontinue the pills. However, if they continue for three months or more, it is necessary to undergo a detailed examination.

Since taking Regulon in women who smoke is accompanied by an increased risk of thromboembolic complications , they are recommended to decide on quitting smoking.

If menstruation after Regulon does not occur in the second cycle, the possibility of pregnancy should be excluded.

The teratogenic effect of Regulon has not been proven. For this reason, if pregnancy occurs while taking the pills, there is no need to interrupt it.

How long can you take Regulon?

During the period of taking Regulon tablets, changes occur in a woman’s body that are characteristic of the first weeks of pregnancy . A woman who already has children experiences the same processes in her reproductive system that would occur if she gave birth and nursed several children.

It is well known that having a large number of children is the most effective method of protecting against cancer of the reproductive system and mammary glands .

Thus, long-term use of Regulon enhances the therapeutic effect of the drug. Taking pills is allowed until the woman is faced with the question of planning a child.

Regulon and menstruation

As a rule, menstrual bleeding becomes more scanty when taking Regulon. However, it also happens that a woman may develop an addiction to the drug, which most often manifests itself in the form of spotting.

Stopping taking the pills is usually accompanied by increased ovarian . Therefore, one of the consequences of discontinuing Regulon may be very heavy menstrual bleeding .

If there are no periods after discontinuation, this may also be due to failure of ovarian function . As a rule, it and, consequently, the menstrual cycle are restored a month after stopping Regulon. To determine the level of hormones in the body, gynecologists recommend taking the necessary tests a month after stopping the drug.

Regulon and weight: do hormonal pills make you fat?

It is generally accepted that taking hormonal contraceptives can provoke weight gain. However, doctors claim that if you follow all the rules for taking Regulon, as well as your daily routine and nutrition, the pills do not have any effect on a woman’s weight.

Typically, weight gain while taking birth control pills may be due to the fact that the desogestrel is characterized by the ability to retain fluid in the body (for example, progesterone is the cause of edema during pregnancy).

The sex hormones contained in Regulon help accelerate the biochemical reactions of lipids and carbohydrates . If the level of physical activity is assessed as sufficient, excess calories are easily converted into energy, but if there is insufficient exercise, they settle on the body in the form of extra pounds.

Is it possible to get pregnant while taking the drug?

When taking Regulon correctly, the likelihood of pregnancy is negligible. The effectiveness of the drug is very close to 100%.

The risk of becoming pregnant is highest during the period of changing the contraceptive, in cases where there were missed pills, violations of the dosing schedule (the pills were taken at different times each time) and also if the effect of the pill was neutralized (for example, by an absorbent).
