Ovulation Rates, Current Birth Control Pills

Image
By
If you are not on the birth control pill you ovulate in almost every cycle, if you are in you mid to late 40s you ovulate significantly less frequently, but if you are having regular cycles, you are still ovulating. If you are on birth control pills ovulation is decreased, but not completely eliminated. For birth control pills with the 30 to 35 mcg of estrogen the ovulation rates have been reported to be about 2%, and for pills with only 15 to 20 mcg the ovulation rates are about 1.1%. It should be that higher estrogen doses produce less ovulation, and it could be the way these statistics are interpreted that produces these small differences. Since pregnancy is prevented in ways other than preventing ovulation, most all birth control pills have the same effectiveness. For women with special considerations: if you are obese, on medication, have trouble taking your pills on time, if you have had a prior contraceptive failure, or other problems with the birth control pill. A discussion with your gyno about what dose to take should be undertaken.

    Thank you, it's important for women to understand their risks of pregnancy when they are planning contraception choices. It's also important to continue to make healthy daily living choices if you are going to be at risk for a pregnancy!

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

By
Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously.  It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods  Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you

Irregular Periods can Be the Sign of Other Medical Conditions

By
Heavy menstrual Bleeding Menstrual Period Norms The menstrual period's normal physiologic function to shed the lining and then prepare the lining for a pregnancy. Thus a sample of the lining under the microsope looks like it has glands within tissue. It’s hard to know if this is a heavy period, or one that is really so heavy that you need treatment without really checking completely with your gyno! Experts have used a number of definitions to determine if the period you are having is too heavy. Your perception is important. The actual amount of blood lost is important, but that can be determined by collecting each pad and weighing them before and after blood collection. So gynos have struggled with how to determine the formal definition of heavy bleeding. A basic check up, and a basic blood count, is not going to really make your version of heavy periods fit the typical “FDA” approved definition because that is defined by the exact amount of blood lost, which is los
