early or midpoint spotting
BTB
hypomenorrhea
mood
menopausal sx

30
Q

P deficiency sx

A

late BTB/ spotting, heavy period, delayed menses

38
Q

EE dose for =>35yrs starting CHC should be

39
Q

types of CHC phases

A

monophasic
multiphasic (bi or triphasic): fixed E, changing P

40
Q

why might a 21/7 regimen not be preferred

A

FSH lvls may come back up, resulting in follicular development and ovulation = not as forgiving as 24/4 or no extended cycle (3mths/7d)

41

A

patch is higher

43

diaphragm or oil based vaginal products

46
Q

vaginal ring CIs

A

vaginal stenosis and uterovaginal prolapse

47
Q

how does estetrol work

A

binds to nucleus estrogen receptor a and b and inhibits membrane ER

48
Q

advantages of estetrol

A

less effect on markers of homeostasis, lower risk of VTE, weaker estrogen eff on mammary glands compared to estradiol, not metabolized by CYP

49
Q

what kinds of start regimens require 7d BU

A

quick start
sunday start

50
Q

what should you do if you miss 2 pills in the first week

A

if ≥24hrs late on first week/ patch fell off or ≥72hrs 2nd/3rd wk (+no HFI)

53
Q

how to manage BTB

A

change to different CHC
- if on 10 or 20mcg EE = increase dose
- or change to different progestin
- ibuprofen 800mg TID F7D
- estrogen 1mg daily F7D

54
Q

what to do if BTB is still continuous after increasing dose or changing to different progestin
