Avatar f tn It seems as though the Sprintec contains the same level of hormones as are in the third week the Tri Sprintec - is this correct? Also, I keep reading that it's the norgestimate that helps with acne due to it's low androgenic activity. Do the hormones in the pill "replace" my body's natural hormones, or how do they affect me? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
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 n tn Is tri-sprintec a bc pill? If so, you likely confused your body by going on and then off, I wouldn't worry too much. If you still dont get your period in a week test again. BTW- just because he didn't come in you doesn't mean you cant be pregnant, there is pre-*** and it can get you pregnant. If you dont want to be pregnant get on some bc and stay on it.
1430817 tn?1283289443 Hi! My name is Makayla. I have been taking the Spintec for a year or less and I'm 16. 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 n tn Very unlikely if this is not the first week of the first pack you've ever taken and/or you did not miss any pills this pack. Do you set a cell phone alarm to help remember when it's 9 p.m.?
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 n tn I have also recently started Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo, and when I had my first withdrawal bleed about a week ago, that is when the symptoms arose. Any ideas what may be wrong?
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 n tn 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 If you had unprotected sex between the day you stopped and a month after you started taking it again there is like a 90% chance you are pregnant.
Avatar f tn which was about 3 months ago I started taking Tri-Sprintec birth-control and I had an AWFUL reaction to it and turns out I was allergic to the high dosage of the acne-clearer in it. Last month I switched to YAZ. But, when I first started with the Tri- Sprintec I noticed these bumps which looked a bit like herpes but I don't know for sure in my mouth near my uvula and they are spreading in the back of my mouth. My stomach and abdomen have been acting up and I dont know what is wrong.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn I'm 33 and had around 10 strokes during my month long use of Sprintec.

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 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. Can someone please help me and tell me what's going on?
Avatar m tn My period ended this past Sunday and on the same day I was supposed to pick up my new pack and start it that Sunday. I forgot and didn't end up getting it until Tuesday. so Tuesday I took two pills (for Sunday and Monday) and Wednesday I took two pills ( for Tuesday and Wednesday). By Thursday I was back on track and Took one pill. Friday I took one pill and Saturday I took one pill. Saturday night I had unprotected sex. Sunday which is today, I took one pill.
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 f tn I had sex several times in the last two weeks. I am on the pill Tri-sprintec, but I did miss a few pills at the beginning of this month. I haven't tested yet because I think it is still too early. What do you think?
Avatar f tn I am currently taking Tri-Sprintec, and a week before and after my period I do not have discharge. However, the other two weeks, I have excessive discharge daily. I've talked to my MD about it and she thinks that since I don't have any other crazy side effects or issues besides the discharge, then I should basically deal with it. Because If I go onto another birth control I might have worse side effects etc.
Avatar n tn I have been on tri-sprintec for 2 months. This sunday i will be starting my third pack of pills. So right now I'm on the sugar pills and this will be my third day taking them. I haven't started my period yet. My boyfriend and I just had sex last week and we used a condom a couple times but we also didn't use one. He pulled out every time even when we used a condom. Could i be pregnant or do you think i'll start my period soon?
Avatar f tn t know looked like skin like chicken skin and was a big size i have been having horrible pain in my abdomen and cramps and bloating feels like are the worst ever so any ideas what that was or what i should do yes i do plan on going to the doctor but just moved to a new aera and money is tight...
Avatar m tn I seemed to get a zit here and there on the side of my chin around my period, but for the past 6-8 months I seem to have constant breakouts mainly on the sides of my chin. It is all the time, not just around my period. The right side is worse than the left. The rest of my skin is clear. I have tried antibiotics, Retin-A, changing all my face products, serums, facials and even a juice cleanse.
Avatar f tn When I was 15 the docs decided to put me on a progesterone based birth control (Tri-Sprintec) to start my periods and I’ve been on and off that same birth control since then. Tri sprintec has always worked for me, regular periods, no complications.
Avatar f tn Then came Sunday the day I start a fresh pack and still no period, here I am one week into the new pack and no period. I'm not sure if the bleeding from February would have anything to do with me not having a period now. Just not sure if I should wait until next month and see if I get my period or just take a test.
