I took femodene Birth Control on and off for a number of years. Recently put back on birth control and this time due to my age the doctor recommended Desogestrel birthh control. Have never had problems with my periods before and they normally only last 4-5 days. Have now been bleeding for 9 consecutive days. Is this normal?
Normally a woman does not ovulate while taking the birth control pill. This is the birth control pill's primary method of action.
it is possible to get pregnant while on your period, it depends when you ovulate, i just read that some women ovulate during their period most women ovulate 14 days before their period is due
It is unlikely to ovulate while on your period, as ovulation typically occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle. However, it is not impossible for some women to ovulate during their period, especially if they have irregular cycles.
Only if prescribed by your health care provider...and I can't think of any scenario in which that would make sense.
Try not to. Especially if using PIO. It has been known to cause sensitivity to light. Which means you might get a really bad burn even if you've only tanned for a little while.
The ovaries produce progesterone. Changing progesterone levels could cause menstruation and menopausal symptoms that are not the norm. The hormone will help implant a fertilized egg in the uterus, or help maintain pregnancy. Progesterone is not to be taken while pregnant unless otherwise specified.

The hormone that is least active while you are ovulating is progesterone. Progesterone is built up and reaches its high peak before your menstrual cycle.
If they are prescribed by your physician to support your pregnancy.
The point of the pill is to prevent pregnancy all together. A "time frame" of when you can get pregnant will depend on YOU and how well you follow instructions to taking the pill. (take it the same time every day, don't miss pills, use back up form of contraception when switching pills, when first starting the pill, or while on anti-biotics, know what to do if you miss three pills in a row, etc).
The hormones that primarily regulate the menstrual cycle are estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen helps build up the uterine lining, while progesterone maintains it. Changes in the levels of these hormones throughout the menstrual cycle control ovulation and menstruation.
Breasts do not HAVE to hurt to ovulate. However, it is often the case that they do. It depends on the person. Some times a womans breasts hurt, while another womans dont.
