Avatar n tn In April I took the morning after pill and my period came about 4 days early. My next cycle was regular 28days. One day 1 of my period I started tri-sprintec, but discontinued it after 3 pills. This month my period is now going on 5 days late and 2 pregnancy tests have been negative. Is this normal? I did have unprotected sex during this month, but my husband did not ejaculate inside of me. Please help...
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 t keep my skin under control without being on the pill, so I saw my gyn and she suggested I might feel better if I have a steady dose of hormones instead of the varying levels Tri Sprintec provided. She prescribed Sprintec, which I will be starting next week. Could you help me understand the difference of how these two similar pills work? I know they are the same hormones, but how much do the levels differ?
Avatar f tn I have been cramping for a week now after taking yeast infection medicine. i am on tri- sprintec birth control. it is not time for my period. what could be causing these cramps?
Avatar f tn I read that you could use some birth control as a sub for the morning after pill. I had 7 sprinter left so I took them all at 1 time. That was 2 months ago. Last month my period was late 5 days and when I did get it, it was abnormal and only a little spotting. Now it's time for my period again yet I am 4 days late again. Should I be worried? I am scared I messed myself up. What should I do or should I just relax and wait for my period to get back to normal?
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'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?
Avatar f tn I just started bleeding this morning... My period wasn't due until next week. My boyfriend and I always use condoms and I am on the pill... Am I pregnant? 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 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 have been taking Sprintec for almost a month now and its caused my breasts to swell and nausea so far, but those side effects have gone away. 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 f tn I was on Ortho Tri for nine years, no problems. 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?
Avatar f tn Hi everyone....I'm honestly petrified. I've been taking birth control (Sprintec) for about a year now. I started it a long time ago when I was a kid so that my periods would be lighter. Anyways, I usually use a condom, but today my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside of me. This is fine when on birth control, but I looked it up just to be safe and I'm reading that it's perfectly fine UNLESS you aren't taking it correctly.
Avatar f tn For about three months I've had these red rings on my upper thigh. They are just an outline of a perfect circle and aren't raised, indented, or itch. I've been taking Celexa and sprintec for 7 months, but the rings started months after I began taking the medicine. They sometimes form on top of each other, or don't form complete circles too.
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 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 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 take my birth control regularly (tri-sprintec). My last period was February 25. A little later than usual because of a last minute business trip to Vegas and I was extremely stressed out. I took a pill late (was suppose to take it at night but took it in the morning and then that'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.
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'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 m tn Yesterday my dermatologist prescribed me 25mg Spironolactone 2xD and Tri-Sprintec BCP to help clear my skin up. I trust her judgement with placing me on both of those medications, but what worries me is that it may be too much of a hormone change for my body. I know that birth control pills increase estrogen levels in the body and that spironolactone is an antiandrogen drug, and naturally the body will replace androgens with estrogen.
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 have started the ovranette pill and I am not even finished my first week and woke up this morning with rashes on both my legs I am definitely not carrying on with this pill.
Avatar m tn I have been on tri sprintec for a few months now, always taking it at the same time everyday forgotten a day here or there but have always doubled up next day, taken the forgotten pill that morning. How I've been taking my bc is I've taken the 3 weeks of blue pills, then when I've gotten to the white pills I wait until my period is over to start my next pack. Does that effect the effectiveness of the pill if I wait until after my period to start the next pack?
