Avatar f tn 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. I went off the pill completely 4 months ago and about 2 months after started experiencing extremely oily skin and massive hair shedding, among other things.
Avatar f tn I am going to be going on vacation in October and of course my period is expected to start right in the middle of the trip. I am on tri sprintec, which I realize is a triphasic pill so there are different hormones every week. I know if I skip the sugar pills then start a new pack that I will most likely have break through bleeding.
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.
Avatar f tn 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. The day after that my bf and I had unprotected sex and I told him I didn't take my pill yesterday and he said it would be ok cuz he'd pull out. He did pull out cuz...not to be gross but I'm desperate for an answer...but I saw it go on the floor.

Avatar n tn 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 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 Good evening! I have been taking Sprintec for the past two months but I'm concern cause in those last two month's I haven't had a period. I have been taking it everyday and and I can say I at least !missed one day each month but other than that I been doing fine.
Avatar f tn You'll have to go back to him and tell him the side effects are too much. There are a lot of other options out there if you want to do the every 3 months thing. He needs to be willing to work with you to find a pill that won't cause these type of side effects.
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 ok i have a question. I take sprintec birth control.On saturday, I had a doctors appt and somehow forgot to take my birth control pill... and had sex that night.. but we used a condom. The next day when I took my birth control pill, I didn't realize that I was taking a white pill(instead of the blue pill which corresponded with Sunday). I didn't realize this until Monday at work, when I was going to take my pill for Monday and realized that Sunday's pill was there as well.
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 Anyways, i started tuesday, i made up the sunday pill on tuesday and took another pill later that night, then a make up pill for monday, and another later on wednesday that night. Then on thursday i just took the pill once a day, on the same time everyday. I never missed the pill at all, nor was i late for the pill at all. I am very strict with timing. Anyways, i had partial intercourse on may 26. He didnt ejaculate inside me at all. I continued taking the pills regularly Ok.
Avatar f tn Sprintec? If you're on a birth control pill, you shouldn't be ovulating.
Avatar m tn 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. Would I have been back on track before having sex on that Saturday and could i have had an increased chance of getting pregnant?
Avatar m tn Saturday night, I had sex without a condom. Sunday, I took my pill as normal, but threw up about half an hour later, and am pretty convinced I threw up the pill. Am I still protected? Or should I be very concerned? I'm waiting until my period comes to take a pregnancy test (I'm expecting it in about 4 days). I'm freaking out and this waiting game is killing me.
Avatar f tn m pregnant but could it be my hormones changing and i need to switch to a different pill for being on this one for a while? The blood is dark brown sometimes vibrant or dark red and requires at least 3 pantyliners a day. I don't think it's implantation bleeding because i started bleeding the day after ovulation (if i even did ovulate??) I'm also super itchy down there and it seems red and irritated.
Avatar f tn So in February I was bleeding for 2-3 weeks, went to my doctor had an ultrasound and she told me that my lining was thin and that was the cause. I asked if I needed to stop taking it or switch she said no that it was fine. I was mid pack when I went. I'm on the pill(tri-sprintec). I finished that pack and went onto my sugar pills I was still bleeding so didn't pay any mind. The bleeding stopped and was already on a new pack, finished that pack was on my sugar pills and no period.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I've been on birth control for a couple of years now and 7 days into my cycle I notice some egg white discharge very similar to ovulation. I take my birth control everyday roughly at the same time and didnt miss one this month. WAS IT OVULATION OR THE CERVICAL MUCUS WHEN YOU'RE ON BIRTH CONTROL CAN BE DIFFERENT? CAN BIRTH CONTROL PILLS CAUSE THOSE EGG WHITE DISCHARGE? Oh and Im on sprintec.
Avatar f tn The day after i stopped the pill i started seeing a brownish/redish discharge. The next day i started bleeding like my period had started. This lasted for 5-6 days. Was this my normal period or withdrawl bleeding? I mainly stopped taking the pill because my husband and i noticed signs of possibly being pregnant an also we want to have another child.....help.
Avatar f tn re pregnant, your body could very well start showing symptoms even though its a false pregnancy....just a psychological standpoint. You can take a home test, but ultimately you should contact your gyno, or if you're embarresed or in a bind, go to Planned parenthood for a test, but there are lots of factors that can sway your period.
