Avatar f tn Hi! Could you help me with a question on birth control pills? I was on a triphasic pill for years (Tri Sprintec). It was good for keeping acne under control (which is why I originally went on it at age 20). But in the last few years I began suffering from extreme fatigue, lots of water retention, vaginal dryness, etc, and as all my tests were normal my PCP suggested the pill was causing it.
Avatar f tn I'm 22 years old and I've been on birth control since I was 16. I've been on a few different kinds of pills since then and am currently on the patch. I've found that in the last few years I've become more and more depressed and I have pretty bad anxiety. I'm not sure if it's 100% because of the pill but I'm pretty sure that the extra hormones in my body aren't helping me.
Avatar n tn If you are on birth control then you typically should expect your period during the placebo week. Take a test then.
Avatar m tn I just started using the birth control Sprintec a week ago. I had a stroke on Monday. I cannot walk well, but other than that I have recovered quickly. I will be 20 on Saturday. I am only 19. 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 f tn I hust started a new pack of birth control pills this month. I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore. 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?
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 m tn I've been taking tri-sprintec birth control for almost a year now. The last time I was sexually active was on july 16 and my last period came two days after that and a condom was used. I decided to stop taking the birth control for good once I finished that last pack that I was on and I can't remember the exact day of my last pill when I got off, but I haven't had a period since. Lately, I've been having temporary pain (sting) in the vagina and my abdomen has been hurting.
Avatar f tn I tried the depo Provera shot but it was making the bleeding worse so recently instead of taking a second shot my gyno put me on the Taytulla birth control pill. I took it for a week but was still bleeding in between and because I started losing my hair I decided to trade it for Tri-Sprintec pill. 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).

Avatar n tn Hello, if a person takes their birth control (Tri Sprintec) every night at 9pm, but forgets to take it at 9pm one night and has sex from 930pm to 1030pm, and then remembers to take it again at 12 midnight (3 hours late), is there a chance for pregnancy?
Avatar m tn Hi, my wife has been taking Medroxyprogesterone(10mg 3xday) for the past 7days, and has(in the past four days)switched to Sprintec birth control pills as ordered by her Doctor. Is it safe for us to have sex now(as far as pregnancy goes)?

Avatar n tn I'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 I was a virgin when i had intercourse, and its my first time.taking birth control..any advice..? Anyone please?
Avatar m tn I'm a 17 year old girl and I have problems with birth control. I started taking birth control pills last year to regulate periods but I stopped because I would miss pills and get sick. I just started taking them again this week and I'm on the second pill. But I'm already getting the same stomaches as I did the last time I took them. I read up on my pills and they do have side effects but I feel I shouldn't be having these. My pills are called Tri- Sprintec.
Avatar f tn It's been a year now since I stopped taking birth control and I haven't stopped bleeding since. These past 2 months I've actually had a normal 4-7 day period. A month before that I would bleed for 5 days then be off for 2 weeks then back to bleeding again. I had a normal period beginning of this month so I thought my body was finally starting to regulate itself but 1 week later I'm bleeding again. It's been 3 days in and my flow has been heavier than usual.
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 forgot to mention it is white discharge that ranges from thin to thick, no smell, no itch.
Avatar f tn In April I went to my family doctor and asked about birth control. My doctor and I decided on a continuous method. Below is a detailed account of the medication and symptoms. *Something also important to mention, is that I had an ultrasound this week. and the report stated, " Small exophytic cyst or paraovarian cyst left ovary. Otherwise, unremarkable ultrasound. When I first started Lessina, I saw immediate results (taken about a week before I was supposed to start my period).
Avatar f tn It takes 7 days for birth control to be active. Ok so i was supposed to start birth control on sunday may 11, after my period finished.

Avatar f tn I'm taking Sprintec birth control. Ive been on it for about 7 months now. On this pill pack, I missed the very first active pill on week 1, and took it the next morning. I usually start on a sunday, but I took the pill on that Monday. That Thursday, I was with my long distance boyfriend for the weekend and we had sex 4 times. He wore a condom every time, but I'm still scared. Could I be pregnant?

525976 tn?1212467993 Hi, I just went on the birth control pill (Sprintec) a little over a month ago and recently I have been having severe anxiety. I have always had problems with anxiety and have had panic attacks 1-2 time per year or less for a long time. However, it never affected me to the point of dysfunction until now. In the past 3-4 days I have felt dizzy, anxious, and unfocused constantly and have had one or more panic attacks every day.
