Triphasil Posted: 08-23-04 13:52pm
Hey girls,
im sposed to start my pill tomorrow...
Its triphasil 28.. Ive never been on it
before, I was always on marvelon... But
my doctor prescribed it to me and told me
I was sposed to start taking it after 3
weeks postpartum.. But im also
breastfeeding. Is that okay?? Is it okay
if im taking this pill while im
breastfeeding? I heard ur not sposed to
be on the pill when u breastfeed.. So im
just making sure before I start it (god
its been so long since ive been on the
pill lol!) thanx!

I think you can breastfeed and take the
pill, after I have the baby i'm getting an
iud... The doc puts it in and you dont
get pregnant for up to 5 years and if u
decide to just have a baby you can take it
out.

Hmmm im thinking of switching back to
marvelon.. I looke dit up and it said I
shouldnt take triphasil if nursing due to
steriods gettin to the baby and it could
lower my qauntity and quality of my
milk... So im thinkin fo switchin.. Ill
just wait until my 6 week appt and talk to
my doctor... Thanx girls!

Shauna...The drug book I have says
triphasil is contraindicated in lactation
and to avoid use. You should call your
doc and let him/her know you need
something else! That was smart to look it
up before you took it!

Haha erin you make me laugh with your
searching, copying and pasting!
Ok...Desogen is what I know it as. Well
not know, but what I can look it up under!
You ever wonder why they cant just have
one name? It would make things easier.
Anyways...
Shauna - I have looked up all the hormonal
contraceptives in this book and they all
say avoid use during lactation. So maybe
that is one of those things where the
doctor knows best, and its really ok to
take it anyways. It wouldnt hurt to ask
him/her though....He would think you were
a smart patient! Let me know what you
find out...I'm curious.

Because people wouldn't stand in the
medicine isle and wonder which is better?
Tylenol or excedrin? They'd know that
they can take a tylenol, an aspirin, and
drink a coke and they'd have the same
thing as excedrin! And the only companies
that would make money would be tylenol,
aleve, and advil!

appt to ask my doc. She prescribed it to
me but im not sure if she knew I was going
to continue breastfeeding.. Hopefully
it'll be okay.. I think I want to go back
to mareblon tho.. I never gained weight
or had any side affects wit it... Well
we'll see, but thanx for all ur help

Lol. You are funny erin! Advil is the
only one that works for me. Tylenol does
nothing, and since I don't touch caffeine,
excedrin just makes me sick.
