[QUOTE=s3xb0mb;3147899]Hey :)
I am not familiar with Kariva, but I can answer more about the green vs. blue pills.
The blue ones have the hormones, as you probably know. The green ones, again as you are aware of, are "sugar pills". These are placebo pills, meaning they essentially don't do anything for you, but they represent a daily pill. They're basically there for you to remember to always take your pill daily, and for some people, if they do not use the sugar pills, they often forget when to begin a pack, or sometimes get off track with timing.
Hope this helps!
so there are white pills then there are two green pills and the rest are blue. Usually the week of your period the pills are not white so what is the difference between the green and blue pills?
Kariva is the generic version of Mircette. In the literature that comes with the pill it states that this form of hormone desogen there is some increase in risk of blood clots. Maybe it isnt much or maybe it is something to think about when choosing a pill.
These pills were worse for me. I just felt more nausea and I think my cholesterol is rising too much. Also I had pain in my calf so I am stopping. I am active but overweight. If I were younger and was going to have more children I would search out a more suitable pill for me but I gotta get off the pill.
