You have to be more conscious not only with your appearance but with your health,too. We, women, are more sensitive than men. So, we should be more watchful when it comes to our health. And that's the thing I didn't do. :( I admit I was not that health conscious before but, after I was diagnosed of having four super small fibroids ( I forgot the sizes) I became more aware with regards to my health.
I will just write more about that on my next blog. For now, I want to have a review about ALTHEA CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS.
I tried some brands of contraceptive pills before like TRUST pills. I already tried the pink one and the yellow one. Also, I tried injectables,too. Sadly, I gained much weight, that's the side effect to me so I decided to stop...
Three months ago, I started taking contraceptive pills again because of the irregularity of my period and the fibroids in my ovary. My OB told me to take contraceptive pill which is anti-androgen to prevent from increasing the number of fibroids...

ALTHEA is a 21-cycle contraceptive pills.
You can start taking on the first day of your period or anytime you want BUT be sure that you are not pregnant before taking your first pill. After taking the 21st pill you have 7 pill-free days. On the 8th day you have to start taking the next pack. It will only cost you P355 in local drug stores. Half the price of some Contraceptive Pills which has the same effects.
PROS:
* decrease popping out of pimples ^^
* regulate menstrual period
* prevent the feeling of being bloated
* lightens the brown patches on my skin
* helps your skin become smooth and fresh
* loose weight (for me)
* remove unwanted facial hair
* cheaper than Diane pills
* available in local drug stores
* enlarge your boobies (this is pro for me! hahaha)
CONS:
* headache during the first week of taking the pills
* moody
I hope those information will help you if you are planning to take contraceptive pills.
You can also take contraceptive pills even if you don't have a husband or boyfriend because it is therapeutic.:) It will help you a lot with your acne issues (for acne you need to take the pills for at least three months before you see the result/improvement) and menstrual irregularities.
NOTE: DON'T forget to visit your OB-GYN for pap smear every after 6 months.
That's for now Queens! Feel free to post comments and ask questions! ^^
More to come....
