Avatar f tn Hello, An elevated circulating total testosterone level and dehydroepiandiosterone sulfate (DHEAS) level have been proposed as screening methods for detecting ovarian and adrenal androgen-secreting neoplasms and PCOS. PCOS is a problem in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance.So ovaries develop more follicles than normal every month.
Avatar m tn I was a very healthy 41-year-old woman who took Sprintec and had two strokes within 5 minutes and spent two days being a human pin cushion in the hospital. It was determined that there was no other reason to have a stroke besides my birth control pills.

Avatar n tn I got my blood test done and pregnancy test done and everything came out good but got prescribed metformin, progesterone, and 3 month supply of Tri-Sprintec for a regulation of my period. I am on week 3 on my first pack of birth control as i already finished the 12 prescribed progesterone pills that i had to take and still on my supply on metformin. Now my question here is, my husband and want to get pregnant what should i do?
Avatar n tn I take BCP because I have a mild form of PCOS(poly cystic ovary syndrome) and my periods are incredibly irregular without them. Once I started taking them my body worked itself out to a 28 day cycle. The brand I take is called Tri-Sprintec in a 28 day pack. My bf and I had sex about 3 days into my period because it was a light day, I remembered later that I hadn't taken my pill and we are very scared.
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 I went to my doctor again two months ago, and he had my FSH, LH, estradiol, and progesterone levels tested, as he said there was a small chance that I could be experiencing premature ovarian failure. He said the results were normal. I had all the tests done again last month (including thyroid), and again, I was told everything was still normal. My doctor put me on birth control (Tri-Sprintec) this month in hopes that my symptoms would level out.
Avatar f tn Oh, sweetheart... I'm sorry you have to go through this. It's not fair. It really isn't. I wish, so much, that I could wave a magic wand, and make it all go away for you. I really do. We're alike in some ways. I also don't cry very easily (probably the androgens), and had a tough time taking birth control pills. (It took years for me to agree to my doctor's suggestion to take them. I don't take anything. It immediately made me sick.
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 Ive been off of sprintec (and all BC) for 6 weeks now. had a VERY heavy period and vulva pain directly after.
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 Ive be taking sprintec for 3months forgot to refill my prescription so I have missed 4 pills in a row sunday-wednesday they would all be blue pills. I have had intercourse with in theses days. Should I take a pregnancy test before I start back on the pill? If so when should I take the pregnancy test?
Avatar n tn So I have a question. I have Just started Sprintec on February 2 Tuesday and I finished my week. It was my first wee. I took my pill everyday at 8:15pm but on the second week that tuesday today I forgot to take it and took it at 12:45am 41/2 hours later. If I keep taking them at 8.15 on the dot this week will that affect me this weekened if I have sex this weekened? Is there a high chance I can get pregnant?
Avatar f tn Then I started Chateal and for a few weeks I felt great, then it went downhill. Now I am on Sprintec, and it is not going well. Lessina 0.1mg / 0.02mg - Taken from April 16th-August 4th - April 16th started taking Lessina, saw improvement immediately (began a week before period). - Had a period from April 21st to May 7th. - Spotting from June 23rd to August 5th (about 42 days) Chateal (Curvelo) 0.15mg / 0.
Avatar f tn After switching to sprintec, the pills no longer worked. I was having periods while on the active pills and my vulva became dry and irritated (like a knife stabbing it). I can't get the pain to go away. Anyone else with this problem?
1430817 tn?1283289443 I have been takin my birth control (tri-sprintec) since march but i dont take it the same time everyday! should i be worry bout getting pregnant???
Avatar m tn I just started taking this bc Tri-sprintec and im on day 3 I woke up and i seem to be extremely tiered. Is this caused by the bc? I have no energy to do anything.
Avatar f tn I am concerned about my late period. I have been on Tri-Sprintec for quite a few months now. I'm currently on my last week taking the inactive white pills. So far I took about 4 of these pills and haven't gotten my period yet. Last month, I was under a lot of stress and I got it twice in that month. Other than that month, my period seemed to come on time with the pills. I am concerned about this. When would I need to take a pregnancy test and how long should I wait to see a gyny?
Avatar f tn Im now on day four of placebo pills and i still havent gotten my.period and im freaking out. I was a virgin when i had intercourse, and its my first time.taking birth control..any advice..? Anyone please?
5787844 tn?1376078984 Lol I was given sprintec pills but I was thinking of trying natural or non hormonal methods birth control. Tracking, condoms, etc. I have been on hormonal birth control pretty much since I was 17. I can't loose weight very easily. The last year has left me with greasy, and yet somehow brittle hair. Horrid acne. Heavy periods, and extra weight. My doctor shrugged me off when I mentioned being concerned with weight gain. Saying it's not that common.
