Pregnancy is an exciting event for every woman. It is very good if it happens as planned, when a couple with trepidation waits for the treasured two strips. Gynecologists recommend starting to prepare for this in advance. If a woman takes oral contraceptives, they must be canceled at least six months before the proposed conception. Today, consider the onset of pregnancy after Jess.
What is ok
To date, their choice in pharmacies is very large. These are drugs that interfere with the process of egg maturation. This leads to suppression of ovulation, that is, make pregnancy impossible. If we consider this process more deeply, then under the influence of OK there is no rupture of the dominant follicle with the subsequent release of an egg ready for fertilization.
One of the most popular drugs today is Jess. He has many virtues. This is a low content of hormones, a rare manifestation of side effects, improved skin condition, the absence of edema and weight gain. Pregnancy after "Jess" usually occurs in 2 to 6 months. But here everything is individual, depending on the characteristics of your endocrine system.
Things to remember
Before you start taking them, it is important to consult a gynecologist. These are not vitamins, but a serious drug that affects the functioning of the reproductive system. If you are over 40 and the number of children is satisfied, the fears become a little less. But for young girls who have yet to become mothers, it is very important to get comprehensive answers to their questions.
Pregnancy after "Jess" is possible and usually comes pretty quickly, but you still need to keep in mind the following points:
- As a result of exposure to hormonal drugs, the intensity of contraction of the fallopian tubes is significantly reduced. Multiply this by 5 or ten years of contraceptive use and you will realize that conception can be delayed indefinitely.
- OK affect the structure of the endometrium. If you have already taken them, then you know that your periods become very scarce. Sometimes enough daily pads to keep the laundry clean. But this advantage has a downside. Pregnancy after Jess may not occur precisely because the thickness of the nutrient layer in the uterus (endometrium) is very small. The egg simply cannot be implanted in it. Endometrial exfoliation marks the end of the cycle and the beginning of menstruation. It may take a long time for the body to fully recover.
- Regular intake of OK changes the microflora of the vagina. As a result, the probability of penetration of the active sperm into the uterus is reduced.
This does not mean that this method of contraception is unjustified. It has a high degree of reliability and is also convenient for most women. Another thing is that before taking a certain drug, it is important to undergo an examination. If your doctor prescribes OK without prescribing tests, then it is better to change the specialist.
Features of the drug
Why is our focus today on Jess? OK is very popular, and this is no coincidence. In most cases, it is well tolerated and provides 99% protection against unwanted pregnancy. The only drawback is the high price. Pregnancy after Jess Plus occurs a certain time after cancellation. Doctors recommend using drugs for local contraception for six months. During this time, all functions should be restored.
This drug is a combination, that is, it contains two types of hormones:
- Ethinyl estradiol - 20 mcg.
- Drospirenone - 3 mg.
It is prescribed not only as a contraceptive. This is an excellent remedy for acne, for the treatment of complications of premenstrual syndrome. To ensure its maximum effectiveness, you need to take one tablet every day. Better at the same time, morning or evening. There are 28 tablets in a pack. As soon as one ends, you need to immediately start the second.
Admission Rules
The beginning of using OK can take place in different situations, so you need to consider all the nuances. By the way, pregnancy after Jess Plus can occur in the very first cycle after cancellation. Therefore, if you just want to give the body a break from hormones (gynecologists do not support this decision), then you need to buy vaginal cream or condoms from the first day. The following points must be considered:
- You need to take the drug from the first day of your period.
- If you start the reception later, then you need to additionally make secure by other means at least for a week.
- If you change OK, then the first pill from the Jess package must be taken the day after the last pill of the previous remedy.
- If an artificial termination of pregnancy was performed, then the tablets should be started to be drunk on the same day.
- After the birth of a baby or a miscarriage in the later stages, the drug begins to be drunk after a month. In this case, the need for additional protective equipment disappears. This is only true if the baby is not breast-fed.
Probable Causes of Pregnancy
The drug gives 99% protection. The chance to get into the remaining percentage is minimal, but still women periodically go to the consultation who claim that they acted strictly in accordance with the instructions, but this did not save them from conception. Pregnancy "Jess" intake usually becomes likely with improper reception and violation of the recommendations of the instructions:
- The use of tablets with a deviation from the schedule. If you missed the time of admission, but remembered this no later than 12 hours, then you just need to drink a pill, and take the next on time.
- If 20 hours or more have passed, then it is recommended to accept the immediately missed, and then the next according to the schedule. But you need to remember that now before the end of the cycle it is recommended to use additional protective measures, for example, condoms.
- Do not forget that pregnancy is possible even if sexual intercourse took place 5 to 7 days before the day the pill was missed.
- The maximum break should not be more than 4 days. After that, start a new pack.
- Pregnancy after Jess Plus is also possible if you are taking an expired drug. Be sure to read the information on the packaging.
- Another point that is important to know about is the combined use of OK and other drugs. There are a number of drugs that lead to a decrease or complete leveling of the effect of taking "Jess." These include primarily antibiotics. Information is in the instructions for use, you can additionally consult with the doctor who prescribed the drugs.
- Diarrhea and vomiting while taking OK also affect the effectiveness of the drug. Here, a lot depends on whether the tablet had time to dissolve before the next attack or if it left the body in its original form. If you cannot answer this question exactly, then use additional methods of contraception until the end of the cycle. Drug withdrawal is not required.
Often patients are interested in what is the likelihood of pregnancy after "Jess Plus" ?? Subject to all the recommendations and the timing of taking the tablets, it is negligible, not more than 0.3%. Therefore, you can be calm.
What to do if pregnancy has occurred
It is very important to make sure that you are not in a position before opening the first pack. Usually, the starting tablet is taken on the first day of menstruation, which guarantees the absence of such. But in some cases, a woman may take implantation bleeding for him. What to do if after drinking half or more packs you understand that you are expecting a baby?
Pregnancy after taking "Jess", most doctors recommend aborting. Usually, parents are not inclined to preserve it, because it was not for nothing that they used one of the most reliable means of contraception. The couple must decide for themselves whether they will save the child or have an abortion.
This is due to the fact that OK can negatively affect the development of the fetus. If it was decided to give birth, then in the first three months a series of examinations is prescribed to make sure the child’s normal development. Of course, the responsibility for such a decision lies primarily with the parents.
Conception planning
The most favorable scenario is when the couple is protected for some time by OK, and then jointly plans to abandon them in order to conceive a baby. Pregnancy after the abolition of "Jess" is possible in the first cycle, but as mentioned above, it is important to give the woman's body time to recover.
Here you need to consider the reasons for the appointment of the drug and the duration of its use. If it was used to correct hormonal disorders, then the duration of the course does not exceed 4 months. In this case, you can simply finish the last packaging and expect the birth of a small miracle.
Another thing is if it has been used as a contraceptive for a long time. With pregnancy after the cancellation of "Jess" in this case, you must wait at least 3 months. During this time, the menstrual cycle is fully restored and the productivity of female hormones is established.
Consequences of cancellation
Long-term use of OK causes significant, but reversible in most cases, changes in the menstrual cycle. Therefore, pregnancy after the cancellation of "Jess Plus" in some cases has to wait a long time. But this is not a cause for concern. It’s just that the body gets used to receive hormones from the outside and weaned to produce them yourself. In particular, this is due to the inhibited work of the ovaries, which are unaccustomed to produce progesterone and estrogen. If after 6 months the pregnancy has still not occurred, it is worth contacting a gynecologist for a consultation.
Pregnancy after "Jess" in the first month is unlikely and by and large undesirable, especially if you took the pill for a year or more. This drug is one of the safest, but you can still not discount certain risks:
- Cycle violation.
- Malaise. Sometimes a woman during the first month of taking OK complains of nausea, headache, changes in appetite and weight. Approximately the same symptoms may occur after withdrawal.
- Inability to get pregnant. If you take OK for 5 years or more, then the possibility of conception is significantly reduced. Judging by the reviews, pregnancy after Jess at a young age occurs in the interval up to 6 months at the time of termination of admission. But the older a woman becomes, the longer it will take to recover.
- Weight gain. Reception of hormonal drugs contributes to the violation of metabolic processes. Hence the problems with weight. And some are losing weight, others, on the contrary, are getting fat.
Statistically data
Today, gynecologists have a large selection of contraceptives, so you can choose for each patient the one that will be ideal for her. Practical experience allows you to collect certain statistics, according to which you can judge the effectiveness and safety of a particular drug.
When is it possible, according to statistics, to expect a pregnancy after Jess Plus? The reviews allow us to draw the following conclusions:
- If a woman took the pill for 3 to 6 months, then fertilization should be expected for three months.
- Long-term use - you will have to wait from one to two years.
If you are worried about the lack of the cherished two strips, then consult a doctor. Usually, ultrasound and a number of standard tests give the gynecologist the opportunity to assess the condition of the reproductive system and make a prognosis for the future.
"Jess" after a frozen pregnancy
Such an event is difficult to experience, especially if the conception was long-awaited. But you need to live on and be sure to undergo a course of treatment, which the doctor will prescribe. Hormonal contraceptives are not in last place here. Often, it is these drugs that allow the body to quickly optimize the cycle and survive the effects of cleansing.
"Jess Plus" after a frozen pregnancy, as well as after an abortion, they begin to take on the day of the operation. Appointment depends on the attending physician. Someone may write OK mandatory. Others believe that it will not be worse if you drink 3-4 months. Still others leave this question for consideration by the woman herself.
It is important to understand that the body has experienced severe stress. Add to this the psychological state of the woman herself. Now is not the time to add a new pregnancy to this, so Jess is a great helper. It will prevent conception and enable reproductive organs to recover. Another thing is the woman’s desire to become a mother. Sometimes it outweighs all reasonable arguments. Someone simply refuses to take contraceptives. Others begin to drink the first pack and drop it in half. The result is an early pregnancy. What it will be is hard to say.
Judging by the reviews, it is also difficult to assume something unambiguous. In some, everything goes well, while others write about an ectopic or severe pregnancy. No doctor will undertake to make predictions about how a frozen pregnancy and cleaning can affect the next conception. After all, there are reasons why the development of the fetus has stopped, and there are many more various factors. If the doctor recommends giving the body a break and taking the OK course, then you need to act like that. You will give yourself a chance to fully recover and the next time to make a healthy baby.
Conclusion
Pregnancy planning after Jess should be supervised by your healthcare provider. Usually, he appoints a mandatory examination of the health status of the expectant mother, as well as taking vitamins and minerals. In this regard, the period after the abolition of OK is very convenient, when for several months a woman, under the protection of local contraception, prepares for her upcoming pregnancy. This allows you to tune psychologically, undergo the necessary examination, and cure your teeth. Today, pregnancy and subsequent maternity leave is also a serious financial problem, since one able-bodied member of the family becomes almost dependent. A long preparatory stage allows you to prepare a "airbag".
