How sensitive is your pill?

I was 9 hours late on one pill yesterday. I took the one today at regular time but I still got all broken. It is a new brand this month, and my old one, even at the end of the pill pack it took about a day and a half from when you took your last pill to come on. How ridecelous is this? And it has given me cramps too. I havn't had cramps in a long time. What is better for cramps, acetaminophen or ibuprofen. I never know the difference.

Is your pill that sensitive and crap? I am no not impressed so far. After my free samples are gone I think I might change again. :grump:

    i do.tn get why it's ridiculous?

    my old pill always took a couple of days for me to come on after i took the last one, i counted it as a blessing as it meant a shorter bleed! :)

    and what do you mean you got broken?

    an i dont get what you mean by "is your pill sensitive?"

    i find ibuprofen to help my cramps when i get them

    I'm thinking you meant that you came on after only being 9 hours late with one pill.

    That doesn't sound right to me at all and no mine is nothing like that sensitive. Takes about 5 days from me finishing the packet to coming on.

    Well, it is ridecelous because I was only a bit late on one single pill and I started a period.

    I got broken, meaning I started to bleed from my uterous. Its my pet name for it :flirt:

    Sensitive pill as in it has caused some vaginal bleeding after only being a little late on one single pill (but now I'm a repeter :p)

    And thanks for the ibuprofen suggestion. I shall use that one.

    Ibuprofen or paracetamol, not aspirin.

    What drug is in what you call pharmacutical?

    Pharmaceutical is anything related to drugs/medication.

    Did you mean paracetamol? That's got paracetamol in it, often under the brand name of Panadol.

    Damn! I've never really read the word properly and I always thought you guys were writing pharmaceutical. Thats some crazy new information. I just thought it was a generic name you called all fever reducers/otc pain killers. Alot of stuff in health will make much more sense now knowing that. Though I've never heard of paracetamol. I'll examine the drug isle next time.

    Ha Ha. Heard of Panadol?

    It sounds to me like this new pill doesn't really suit you so I'd think about getting it changed.

    Not happened to me but one of my mates started a new pill and she had funny irregular bleeding, the nurse just said stick with it for as long as you can and it should settle down. It is about the change in hormones and how your body is adjusting to it. If it isn't and is really bugging you go back to the doctors or wherever you got the pill from.

    Yes, I think the first few months are a bit different to the rest of the time.

    I don't think you have "paracetamol" in the USA.

    I'd go with Ibuprofen but I'd not heard of that other one you mentioned.
