Avatar m tn I want to know how many others are out there who have taken sprintec and either had a TIA or a stroke due the birth control...is there anyone else?
Avatar n tn I was supposed to start my period yesterday and havent been late since i started taking the pills a year and a half ago.. How big is the chance that im pregnant?
Avatar f tn It seems as though the Sprintec contains the same level of hormones as are in the third week the Tri Sprintec - is this correct? Also, I keep reading that it's the norgestimate that helps with acne due to it's low androgenic activity. Do the hormones in the pill "replace" my body's natural hormones, or how do they affect me? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Avatar f tn I've been taking sprintec for almost a year now. I take my pill at the same time everyday, I do not miss any pills. But everyday around 11am I start getting cramps and my stomach becomes extremely bloated and I start spotting. It's a dark red some times brownish color but enough where I have to wear a panty liner or tampon. It stops everyday about 30 minutes after I take my birth control at 8:05pm. Why is this happening?
Avatar n tn Take all the pills you missed ASAP at the same time. You can check the instructions to be sure, but I am 99% sure that with Sprintec you are supposed to take all missed pills at the same time. Continue taking them for the rest of the month, but use condoms as back up. Take a pregnancy test on the first day of your next expected period.
Avatar f tn Hi Kay, Here is something you may find intresting Tri-Sprintec contains female hormones and therefore alters your female gynecological symptoms. Tri-Sprintec typically causes nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, breast pain, vaginal discharge, menstrual irregularities and changes in your appetite and weight. Tri-Sprintec can affect your appearance and cause increased hair growth, loss of hair or freckling of your skin. It can cause nervousness, a headache and fatigue.
Avatar f tn Now my vaginal area is itchy and uncomfortable and I think it might be the pills. Should I call my doctor and set up an appointment to check and make sure its the pills and nothing serious?
Avatar n tn I am a 25 year old female, and about 5 week ago I started getting hard, unpopable bumps on my cheeks and one on my forehead. They were painful and big, and I am still dealing with the scars. They flattened out and are still red, but I thought my skin was getting better and healing. Like I said, I don't get very much acne, so this is new to me. About 4-5 days ago I noticed I started getting a few bumps on my cheek again.
1430817 tn?1283289443 I usually take it at the same time, I usually take it in the morning after breakfast almost right after I wake up, but today I took it a little after lunch time. I took it around 1:15. If I have sex the next day and skip the pill could I become pregnant? I have never skipped a pill before.
Avatar f tn While I'm not a huge fan of this, delaying periods with the pill, it is done. The recommendation that I've heard is to skip the off week altogether and go straight into your next cycle's pack. Then have a period when the three weeks are up with that one.
Avatar f tn Ive been off of sprintec (and all BC) for 6 weeks now. had a VERY heavy period and vulva pain directly after.
Avatar n tn I started sprintec about five weeks ago...I have SUPER heavy periods (fibroids) and actually qualify for a hysterectomy, but my insurance is crap and it would cost me $2600 out of pocket. I also always have.a.BAD case of PMS!!! Anywho, I'm not willing to pay that price for an elective surgery so my Dr put me on Sprintec, but instead of three weeks active/one week reminder, I'm on six weeks active/one week reminder.
Avatar f tn So I’ve been taking Tri Sprintec for about 3 days and I have been passing ginormous clots bigger than a fist (I mean the clot takes up the entire pad and I have to change). So last night, my sides near my pelvic area started hurting, I had to kind of bend over a little so it wouldn’t hurt when I walked. Well I ignored the pain and a few hours later around 3am I was asleep and was awaken by a HUGE clot passing.
Avatar f tn t know looked like skin like chicken skin and was a big size i have been having horrible pain in my abdomen and cramps and bloating feels like are the worst ever so any ideas what that was or what i should do yes i do plan on going to the doctor but just moved to a new aera and money is tight...
Avatar f tn Hi. I am 17. I've been on birth control since I was 15 (mononessa). I've never missed a pill. I became sexually active at 16. My last period was roughly 5-6 days before Christmas. After my last period, my boyfriend I had unprotected sex (approx. 3 days after my period) and again (twice—on different days) this past week. He has never gotten off inside of me, although I am well aware of pre ***. I am terrified, because today I have discovered light brown/beige "discharge".
Avatar n tn Yesterday I noticed very small reddish, shiny bumps on my vulva (the same area where the yeast infection got really bad), and also on the same side as that, but closer to my butt cheek. They are kind of all clustered together. The bumps do not hurt, but are only a little dry and itchy. I have not had sex with my boyfriend since before the yeast infection (it's probably been about 3 weeks now!).
Avatar f tn Im 16yo and i've been having breakthrough bleeding? for the past week. Ive been on tri sprintec for about 2 years now and this has never happened before. I recently became sexually active with the same partner about 4 months ago. I started bleeding exactly 2 weeks before my period. Here's some instances that might be the problem but i'm not sure. -The day before i started bleeding i had shower sex for like 30 seconds and it hurt because it felt dry.
Avatar n tn m 18 years old and I started taking tri sprintec birth control at the beginning of September and my period started in the second week of the pack. Its been 2 and half weeks and my period still won't stop and it keeps getting heavier and heavier and I've never had this problem. I called my gyno and they said to wait about 3 months and see what happens, but I don't think I can wait that long my period and cramps are killing me and I'm really moody lately.
Avatar f tn On Thursday night I forgot to take my birth control, I took it when i woke up Friday morning and then took my next pill that same day right on time. I've been on birth control for years(2 years and 3 months). I had unprotected sex late friday night..I know it doesn't matter but he pulled out. And I know my boyfriend well..he's never precame. I just wanted to know should I be freaking out?! Or can I stay calm?

Avatar f tn I have suffered from severe fatigue and muscle weakness for quite a while (I am a healthy weight and went from previously feeling perfectly fine to feeling very weak and tired all the time.) Recently it was discovered that my vitamin D levels are very low, so I was put on 50000 iu Vitamin D once weekly for eight weeks. I began this treatment about two weeks after I got on the pill, Sprintec.
Avatar n tn I'm 18 and me and my boyfriend just did it but he pulled it out before he did it in me but he got a little on me on the out side and I'm on birth control called mononessa and we cleaned out right away and washed Will get pregnant or no please help me I don't want too be pregnant
Avatar f tn I've been on sprintec for 4 months and for the first 3 had no period. But now I've had my period for 3 weeks it slowed down for a day and I had sex. Then it came back. After two weeks I stopped with my pills and it has only gotten worse. I don't know what to do I'm weak and cranky all the time.
Avatar f tn You'll have to go back to him and tell him the side effects are too much. There are a lot of other options out there if you want to do the every 3 months thing. He needs to be willing to work with you to find a pill that won't cause these type of side effects.
Avatar n tn Very unlikely if this is not the first week of the first pack you've ever taken and/or you did not miss any pills this pack. Do you set a cell phone alarm to help remember when it's 9 p.m.?
Avatar f tn I've been on Sprintec birth control for 6 months and never had this problem till now. I have always started my period 3 days after I started taking the white pill. Right now I'm on the last week of my blue pills and I've started cramping and spotting a little. I'm not sure if it's normal or not to start your period a week early while on birth control or not because it's never happened to me until now.
Avatar f tn Then on thursday i just took the pill once a day, on the same time everyday. I never missed the pill at all, nor was i late for the pill at all. I am very strict with timing. Anyways, i had partial intercourse on may 26. He didnt ejaculate inside me at all. I continued taking the pills regularly Ok. I finished the active pills on saturday, and i began taking placebo pills (inactive pills) sunday. Which i was supposed to begin my period.
