Avatar n tn im taking sprintec bith control pills. and ive missed like 4 days. i had sex the night before i started spotting. is there any chances that im pregnant?
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 f tn I've been on Sprintec for over 6 months now and have had issues with random heavy spotting for about 3.5 months now. The spotting seems to just start out of nowhere at times, although I have noticed that the spotting will occur when I am more stressed (other times it will just happen when I'm not stressed at all). I've tried to be really consistent about taking my pill at the same time every single night, so I'm unsure what would cause me to spot so frequently and heavily.
Avatar f tn Or could this be from that I ended an old pack and then automatically started the new pack of 28 day sprintec birth control without takeing the week off with the placebo pills??? Help please!
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 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 I am currently taking Tri-all-Sprintec pills. I’ve been on them for about 5 months or so. My boyfriend and I haven’t been using other protection besides my pills. I went on vacation recently and on July 4 I completely missed my pill. I didn’t take that pill until today (July 16). On July 5 we had unprotected sex. I was half a day late taking it on July 8 and we had unprotected sex twice the following day. Starting July 14 I started getting brown discharge. No odor at all.

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 September 3 - I started feeling like I was going to get my period. I had the normal cramping I get. I even started spotting in my underwear and when I wipe (sorry if TMI)! I have been spotting since then. Nothing more. I keep think I am going to start but every time I go to the bathroom NOTHING MORE!! I am on Sprintec (birth control). I just wonder if anyone else is having these issues like me. I did take a HPT on Sept. 4. It came back negative. My partner is dead set that I am Pregnant.
Avatar f tn I’m currently on sprintec for birth control and i like to skip the last week in the pack to prevent bleeding. When i do this i do not have enough pills to keep taking the next pack. My pharmacy will not refill until it’s time. What can i do?
Avatar m tn Last night, after using the restroom, I saw a spotting on the tissue and today it appears that I started my cycle but Im also feeling nauseated. ANY Help On What Could Be Going On? Is This Sort Of Thing Possibly Normal?? And my cycle was irregular before I started taking birth control.
Avatar f tn No bleeding that day and then on sunday he fingered me and it kind of hurt. On sunday night i wiped and there was bright red blood and then it's been dark brown/dark red blood since then. It's been about 6 days now. I'm having not too bad cramping and the flow can fill maybe 2 pantyliners a day. Is this breakthrough bleeding? I started bleeding exactly 2 weeks before my period. Or is something ruptured from poor lubrication? Or maybe a bacterial infection from soap or something?
Avatar f tn I have been on Tri Sprintec birth control for over two years and never had any problems. I take the pill every day between the time of 7-8. I have been with the same guy for over four years, and am sexually active but we always use another form of protection. (Condoms, pulling out, etc.) I am scheduled to start my period in 8 days (Sept 15) but two days ago I noticed this brown discharge when I wiped, it had a tint of red in it for a few hours then went back to a brown color.
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 s days pill I took at night to get me back on schedule) a 8 days later of taking the pill consistently my bf and I had unprotected sex. 5 days later I had forgotten to take my pill. The day after that my bf and I had unprotected sex and I told him I didn't take my pill yesterday and he said it would be ok cuz he'd pull out. He did pull out cuz...not to be gross but I'm desperate for an answer...but I saw it go on the floor.
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 I am expected to get my period tomorrow because I am on Sprintec birth control pill. I have been taking it for 9 months and I have never missed a pill, and the latest I have been was by an hour and a half six months ago. I take it within five minutes every day and am very good about my pill. I have unprotected sex with my SO, but we are curious if this is implantation bleeding or just a very strange period. My placebo week started yesterday if that helps. Thank you!
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?
948110 tn?1245870602 I am on the birth control pill called Sprintec! I have three weeks of blue pills and one week of white pills. Earlier I was in my third week of blue pills when I accidentally didn't see that I had one blue pill left so I took a white pill and then the next day I spotted the blue pill and took it!
Avatar f tn When I start in the 2nd week of pills, it feels like a normal cycle, with heavy bleeding and cramps and then dies down until I start the sugar pills and then it feels like I started my period again- with the heavy bleeding and the cramps again. How do I get my periods to be regular again?
Avatar f tn ok...i'm 23 years old and not looking to have a child. i have been on tri sprintec birth control pill for about 4 months...current pack i'm on is my 4th pill pack. so far it has been great...no bad side effects...but now i'm freaking out a little. i'm on my week 2 pills and just experienced probably less than a teaspoon amount of blood when i wiped after going to the bathroom.
Avatar f tn I will try it but I am so sensitive to all medication side effects. I had issues on Sprintec. The dr said if Provera doesnt work its either Lupron or Hysterectomy. I dont want a hyster so I may have to try Lupron. Thanks for your input.
Avatar f tn I am 21 years old and on oral contraception (Tri Lo Sprintec) and have been on the same one for the last 9 months with next to no irregular bleeding, in fact it had made my period shorter. 2 weeks ago I started bleeding before I even started the inactive pills and it is still continuing. Relatively no cramps or any other side effects aside from the heavy bleeding. I took several pregnancy tests to see if maybe I was unknowingly pregnant and miscarrying, but they were all negative.
