Effectiveness

How Isibloom Affects Patients

Desogestrel works by stopping ovulation in 97% of cycles. It also modifies the hormones luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone, causes menstrual delay, and thickens vaginal fluid. Desogestrel may also cause an increase in insulin, lipase activity, and fat deposits. Although desogestrel has been linked to an increased risk of blood clots, it usually does not cause a large change in total cholesterol levels.

How Isibloom works in the body

Desogestrel is a drug that works by entering cells and binding to the progesterone receptor. This produces a transcriptional effect that changes the production of messenger RNA. Its active metabolite, etonogestrel, has high progestational activity and low androgenic activity.

Isibloom Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Taking large doses of desogestrel can cause strong hormonal reactions, but it is generally not toxic. Tests in rats showed that the toxic dosage of desogestrel is higher than 2000mg/kg. Overdosing on desogestrel may cause nausea and missed periods, but no serious effects have been reported. Desogestrel does not appear to increase the risk of breast cancer, but there is some evidence that it may increase the risk of cervical pre-cancerous changes. However, these results are not conclusive.

Isibloom for Birth Control

I've been taking this pill for over five years and it works if you take it correctly. The only downside is that it makes my boobs feel heavy, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, I haven't had any issues with mood or anything else.

Isibloom for Birth Control

I'm pretty darn pleased with this birth control. I can skip periods, which is great, and it's helped my acne. The only complaint I have is that I get mild headaches when I do get my period, but otherwise I'm thrilled!

Patient Q&A Section about isibloom

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What kind of birth control is Isibloom?

"Desogestrel is a progestin and ethinyl estradiol is an estrogen.

Isibloom is an oral contraceptive that contains the progestin desogestrel and the estrogen ethinyl estradiol. It is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use oral contraceptives as a method of contraception. Isibloom is available in generic form."

Answered by AI

Can Isibloom cause infertility?

"The Isibloom birth control pill contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Isibloom also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus."

Answered by AI

Is Isibloom a generic birth control?

"The active ingredients in Isibloom are ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel, which are naturally occurring hormones that prevent ovulation and also alter the cervical and uterine linings to prevent sperm movement and fertilized egg attachment."

Answered by AI

Will Isibloom make me gain weight?

"If you're concerned about weight gain while taking a birth control pill like Isibloom, be sure to maintain an active lifestyle and healthy diet. Some women experience a slight increase in weight when they start taking the pill, but this is usually because of fluid retention, not an increase in body fat."

Lidocaine for Pain Control in Birth Control

18 - 50
Female
La Jolla, CA

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.

HAPPI Software for Birth Control Access

18+
All Sexes
Del Mar, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of the HAPPI software can improve pharmacist-provided birth control services. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the HAPPI software make it easier for pharmacists to provide birth control services in their pharmacy? 2. Does the HAPPI software make it easier for patients to access birth control? Researchers will compare pharmacists' implementation and patients' access when using the HAPPI software and when not using the HAPPI software to see if the software improves implementation and access. Participants will include pharmacists and patients. Pharmacists will be asked to provide birth control services as normal while using the HAPPI software. Patients will be asked to receive birth control services from a pharmacist as normal, while using the HAPPI software.

Birth Control Pills and DNA Interaction

18 - 45
Female
Aurora, CO

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how differences in specific parts of our DNA can influence how individual bodies break down the hormones contained within oral contraceptive pills, which could affect how well these birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy. The investigators are also interested in exploring how these differences in our DNA can also explain why patients taking the exact same formulation of birth control pill will experience very different side effects. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant have increased metabolism of both desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol when taking a combined oral contraceptive pill? * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant experience higher rates of breakthrough ovulation while taking a desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol combined oral contraceptive pill? * What novel genetic loci are associated with alterations in steroid hormone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among a larger cohort of combined oral contraceptive pill users? Participants will take a specific formulation of combined oral contraceptive pill (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) and undergo the following procedures: * Blood draw to measure the amount of progestin and estrogen in their system from the combined oral contraceptive pill * Questionnaires to assess side effects possibly caused by the combined oral contraceptive pill * Blood draw to measure endogenous hormone levels and biomarkers that may be affected by the combined oral contraceptive pill * A transvaginal ultrasound to measure any ovarian follicles (optional procedure)

Bryan, TX

The study aims to implement Using the Connect (UTC), an innovative, game-based intervention designed to increase protective factors and decrease adolescent pregnancies. This intervention will be implemented in Texas middle schools and community-based organizations. The long-term goal is to promote optimal health in youth and prevent adolescent pregnancy in populations disproportionately impacted by adolescent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates. The short-term objective is to conduct a robust, multi-site clustered randomized controlled trial to evaluate implementation outcomes and the impact of UTC, a novel theory-based game developed using powerful and effective human-centered design (HCD) strategies, on intention to delay sexual activity.

Progestin Contraceptives for Birth Control Effects

18 - 40
Female
Portland, OR

The purpose of the study is to learn more about menstrual changes in progestin contraception users. The investigators are hoping to find out what changes in the endometrium lead to different bleeding patterns during the first year of progestin contraception use. Participants will choose to receive the contraceptive implant (Etonogestrel implant also called Nexplanon) or the contraceptive injectable (Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) also called Depo-Provera) for up to 12 months. They will be asked to have 4 endometrial biopsies over the course of the study, as well as blood draws, physical exams, and pregnancy tests. Participants will also use a daily text message or email diary to report bleeding patterns. This study's plan is to comprehensively phenotype bleeding patterns and profile the entire endometrium using single-cell RNA seq data (sCRNAseq).

Etonogestrel Implant for Emergency Birth Control

18 - 40
Female
Aurora, CO

The investigators propose a single site, single arm, open label mechanism of action pharmacodynamic pilot study of etonogestrel implant insertion prior to an luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. The investigators will evaluate ovulation rates via serum levels of reproductive hormones and transvaginal ultrasound findings following placement of an etonogestrel implant once the dominant follicle reaches a size of 15mm or greater, but prior to an LH surge, in persons with prior documented regular cycles and confirmed ovulation. The researchers' hypothesis is that ovulation will be inhibited if the etonogestrel implant is placed prior to an LH surge. Based on data from the Food and Drug Administration label for Nexplanon, etonogestrel rises to levels associated with ovulation suppression within 8 hours of placement. Given this rapid increase, it is therefore plausible to assume that ovulation can be inhibited by the implant if placed prior to an LH surge. This study is novel as there have been no published studies evaluating an etonogestrel implant for this indication. The contribution of this proposed research to the literature is significant because current recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding timing of etonogestrel implant placement are stringent and not patient-centered. Any day insertion of the etonogestrel implant is supported by retrospective data and this pharmacodynamic data would further support the literature for any day insertion without the need for additional emergency contraception. If results support the investigators' hypothesis, it could increase access to contraception and decrease duplicative therapy.
