sprintec and weight loss

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. These side effects are fortunately rather benign. However, they may become bothersome if they last for more than three days. In this scenario, phone your physicialo perhaps the mix is why your cramping.

However, in June I missed my period, and my hair loss returned. I got bloodwork done, and my endocrinologist diagnosed me with having high testosterone levels. Everything else appeared regular. She prescribed me sprintec 28 day tablets. I am writing this post because I am a bit spooked by everything I have read on the internet about this birth control. I am terrified of gaining weight, especially because I believe my higher levels of T have caused me to recently.

Furthermore I been having symptoms of fatigue, nausea every now and then, loss of appetite, and weight gain, but I notice this when I started to take the birth control and I thought they were just the side effects of taking it. But now I have missed two periods and I'm starting to worry. So do I need to take a pregnancy test ASAP? HELP ME PLEASE!

Sounds like the hormone level in the pill is too low to be effective. Talk to your doctor about getting on a different pill, and also, use condoms. Breakthrough bleeding indicates the pill is not being effective.

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.

If you have PCOS-related IR, you can workout like an Olympian and eat next to nothing, and not lose weight. Add some cinnamon, and weight loss can occur. I only tried it after learning about cinnamon from other PCOS women. I exercise strenuously 6 days/week, for an hour/day, and eat 1,000-1,200 cal/day. That alone still leads to incremental weight gain. But with cinnamon, it doesn't.

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.

Just recently I switched to Sprintec because I had lost my insurance coverage and it was cheaper. It has been about two months since I switched and recently I have been having anxiety like symptoms such as, lightheadedness, falling feeling, dizziness, loss of appetite, emotional among other things. I didn't know if switching between these two could cause these symptoms or if it might be something else like Thyroid or Progesterone, or if it is just general anxiety? Any help would be great.

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.

the doctor also said that most kinds of birth control mess with your hormones so that is the reason for the unexpected weight gain and inability to lose any of the weight.

Not only the size but the weight and feel changed completely. Took it out and they haven’t grown back.

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.

ultrasound report showed solid mass on ovary no free fluid sovary was enlarged and something about smooth margins. please help? that was two years ago when i was 27 years old and i never followed up because of loss of health insurance. i have lots of abnormal bleeding all the time. i was on depo shot for years then last year switched to sprintec, but still haveing abnormal bleeding, Also frequently bleeding after sex.

Ive been off of sprintec (and all BC) for 6 weeks now. had a VERY heavy period and vulva pain directly after.

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?

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?

Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight. My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me? If it is not the same can I stop them now or do I have to wait until I finish this one pack?

I was not gaining weight on the scale and had recently lost weight before this. I have been watching it and noticed that it is getting worse. I also bloat even more after eating. My fingers swell and fluctuate in size. For a few months, I have also had lower back pain that feels musculature but I can't figure out the cause other than changing hormones. It sometimes radiates down one leg or the other. This seems to be improving though.

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?

and I truely hope it does, I do recommend taking calcium suppliments, being so young I was very naive thinking something like bone loss wont happen to me. I also say exercise if possible. A couple of side effects include weight gain and moodiness. I also still experienced slight menstrual cramping, breast tenderness, mood swings etc each month when I should have been due when I did have that one period free year.

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?
