Few people know that in taking oral birth control pills, there are several secrets that will help not only to avoid unwanted pregnancies, but also have healthy children later.

Do you believe in fortune? Can one absurd moment turn upside down all one's life? Everything goes topsy-turvy: prestigious career is collapsing, education is abandoned, family problems, love no longer seems eternal. Lost sleep and appetite with only one question in your head : "What can we do?". The cause of this mess is an unplanned, and even worse, an unwanted pregnancy!

We have a weapon against such a case - an oral birth control pill Microgynon, a very reliable remedy. More effective are just sterilisation and intrauterine contraception. And at the same, fertility (an ability to conceive, bear and give birth to a child) is restored within 1-12 months after Microgynon duscontinuation.

If pregnancy occurred just after stopping the administration of Microgynon, or on a background of a missed pill, it will have no effect on pregnancy and health of an unborn baby.

Microgynon, just like other medicines, may have side effects. The degree of their severity depends on the individual properties of the body. The most common adverse reactions of Microgynon are nausea, vomiting, headaches, irritability, breast tenderness, spotting and breakthrough vaginal bleeding, swelling, change in appetite, etc.

As a rule, these adverse reactions are observed in the first 3 months of Microgynon administration. At this time the body gets used to the new regime. If at the expiration of 3 months no improvement is observed, you need to think about switching to another contraceptive containing less estrogen.

Microgynon has not only contraceptive but also therapeutic effects. While on Microgynon, excessive oiliness of the skin decreases, pores get constricted, seborrhea and acne disappear, growth of hair on the body and the face slows down. In addition, Microgynon relieves the manifestations of premenstrual syndrome, reduces blood loss during menstruation, combats the cycle disorders.

Microgynon also allows delaying menstruation with some days. It's enough to keep taking tablets from a new package without the seven-day break - and you can go on vacation!

But keep in mind: in this case the possibility of spotting or bleeding in the intermenstrual period increases. Especially if your experience with Microgynon is less than 3 months. In any case, use this secret as rare as possible.

It's been clinically proved that treatment with antibiotics or anticonvulsant drugs, as well as diarrhea that lasts several days, reduce the contraceptive effect of Microgynon. In these cases, you must use an additional method of contraception until the end of the package.

If you vomit during first 3 hours after taking Microgynon, take one more tablet from the package.

It is known that smoking increases the risk of severe adverse reaction of any birth control. That is why smoking among women under 35 should not take Microgynon but contraceptives with minimal estrogen level. Female smokers over 35 years should not take any oral birth control, including Microgynon.
