Microval

i didnt know that microvals is supposed to stop periods.
i used it for the period when i was still breastfedding n got another prescription(YAZ) after that n it took us three months of trying to finally conceive.
so microval is only effecive when u r breastfeeding. ask your gynae for another prescription.

Hi ladies

My doctor told me to take Microval but not sure how to take it.

DO i just start taking it? I havent had my period and I'm still breastfeeding. Is/Are there any regulations with regards to taking it?

Ditto Beatrice, my gynae asdvised me the same

Microval is only safe in conjunction with breastfeeding. On it's own it's not effective. This is what my gynae told me.

Maybe go off the Microval and use alternative contraceptions for the next 3 months?

If your having your period and still on microval i really dont think thats a good idea to continue using it especially if you have stopped breasteeding
Rather ask your clinic sister if you are unsure.

Thanx girls.
I've been having my periods from the start, while breastfeeding and on microval.
I want to stop the pill in 2 - 3 months, and from there on only start trying again.
As Mia is only almost 6 months now, and dont want it to soon...
Not quite sure yet when we'll start trying, waiting to see if things work out that I'll become a stay at home mommy, so will take things from there.
hopefully by end of the month, we'll know what our situation will be, and we will strat planning from there!

Ditto on what Lollipop said. However, if you want to start trying again in 2-3 months I'd maybe consider going off the pill now. I stopped breastfeeding and the Microval in Jan and still haven't had my period (nope, not preggers ). What I'm saying is that your body might take some time to get back to a normal cycle.
