    The pill, Desogen

    Has anyone here ever taken this pill called Desogen? Has anyone ever gotten pregnant while on this pill? I ask because I just started it, and I might be pregnant. I just read that medications such as tylenol and vitamin C supplements can reduce it's effectiveness, and I take both! My doctor never told me about this.

    Anyone else know of other drugs that may cancel this pill out or reduce its effectiveness? Thank you!

    Wow, I just checked it out and it does in fact say that. I did also look at the manufacturer's website who made the pill I used to take and it says it there too.

    On a positive note, if that is the case, it didn't make a difference for me. I was on the pill for 14 years off and on. Take Tylenol all the time for migraines and I also take vitamin c sometimes. I never took it at the same time either. Never once had an issue with the pill not working.

    Hope that eases your mind a little.

        Yeah, and now I'm having nausea and I swear I had implantation bleeding on Saturday. It was light red blood and only a little bit. I also had slight cramping. I was getting nausea as a side effect, but it seems to have gotten worse. I know I need to eat breakfast this morning, but I feel like if I do I'm going to throw up, that's not like me.

          I am thinking of switching to Seasonique. I was on Seasonale before, and it was awesome. It's just a little expensive, since I don't have prescription insurance. Any suggestions?
