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 n tn (they thought it was endometriosis). The doctor put me on birth control (Sprintec), where I skip the placebo week so that I don't have a period. I missed 1 pill in late April and bled for 2 weeks. That is the only pill that I missed. The past 2 months I've been getting the same symptoms that I had before they found my cyst, except this time I don't have a period.
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 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 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 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 m tn m on the pill (tri-sprintec) and this is much more likely to happen as I get in the later weeks of the pack. I rarely have a problem at the beginning of the month. - This only happens during rear-entry sex or if he hits my cervix vigorously. I'm adequately aroused before we start. - I have a history of HPV from several years ago, but my pap smears have been normal for at least 5 years now. - I was tested for STDs during my last two gyno appts, and those came back entirely clean as well.
Avatar n tn 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?
633143 tn?1262133535 Hi. I'm writing for my younger sister. She's 19 years old and was put on Sprintec about 2 months ago. She doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, is in good physical health, and has no known medical conditions. This is the the third or fourth pill her doctor has had her on since December. She's been having an awful time with all of them, but the side effects were all just things like being overly emotional, being nauseous, or having cramps.
Avatar f tn 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.
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.
Avatar f tn 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?
1430817 tn?1283289443 I have been takin my birth control (tri-sprintec) since march but i dont take it the same time everyday! should i be worry bout getting pregnant???
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 am concerned about my late period. I have been on Tri-Sprintec for quite a few months now. I'm currently on my last week taking the inactive white pills. So far I took about 4 of these pills and haven't gotten my period yet. Last month, I was under a lot of stress and I got it twice in that month. Other than that month, my period seemed to come on time with the pills. I am concerned about this. When would I need to take a pregnancy test and how long should I wait to see a gyny?
Avatar f tn Im now on day four of placebo pills and i still havent gotten my.period and im freaking out. I was a virgin when i had intercourse, and its my first time.taking birth control..any advice..? Anyone please?
5787844 tn?1376078984 Lol I was given sprintec pills but I was thinking of trying natural or non hormonal methods birth control. Tracking, condoms, etc. I have been on hormonal birth control pretty much since I was 17. I can't loose weight very easily. The last year has left me with greasy, and yet somehow brittle hair. Horrid acne. Heavy periods, and extra weight. My doctor shrugged me off when I mentioned being concerned with weight gain. Saying it's not that common.

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 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?
