Brief Answer:
Can stop Krimson 35

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Krimson 35 is oral contraceptive pill and has side effects like nausea, headache, lethargy and weakness.
You can very well discontinue it, and consult your doctor to give you an oral contraceptive pill with a lower hormone dosage, which has less or no side effects.
There will be no adverse effect on you after stopping krimson 35.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.

Today I called the doctor she said take pentop Dsr half hour before taking krimson 35 to avoid nausea weakness and other symptoms but if my reports were normal then why am I suppose to take these oral contraceptive pills and she also said you can't stop the medicine for hormones at once it has to be stopped gradually

Brief Answer:
Can stop krimson 35

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
You can very well take pantop to reduce nausea due to krimson, however it is not at all advisable to continue the pills if you need to take pantop daily with it.
Based on your investigation profile, you don't need any oral contraceptive pills, unless you want contraception.
When you leave oral contraceptive pills abruptly, then you can have withdrawal bleeding within3-5 days. Apart from this, there are no side effects, and there is no dictum that one cannot stop the pills abruptly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Will suddenly stopping it will cause heavy bleeding and what would be its effect on next cycle before taking it I had normal periods and on proper dates so I think I need nt take any medicine as all my reports were normal as I want to concieve she gave me fertisure and krimson 35 if any imbalance is left it can b cured and if it is showing such side effects does it mean it is not suiting my body and how many irregular cycle in an year are normal

Brief Answer:
Krimson should be stopped

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Stopping the oral contraceptive pills will not lead to heavy bleeding. It will cause withdrawal bleeding within3-5 days of its stopping.
If you are planning to conceive, then there is no rationale of giving you krimson as it is contraceptive pill and prevent any pregnancy.
Irregular cycles anytime are not normal, however a delay or early periods by 1 week is considered normal.
I suggest you to stop krimson if you are planning to conceive.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
