Ive been on tri sprintec for exactly two weeks now and im braking out... A lot. All over my cheast and my face. Ive tryed to clear it up but i cant and its getting worse. Will this change???? ## Did you contact your doctor? Has it cleared up, any? Since these are hormonal based contraceptives, they will sometimes cause breakouts, in some people, when your body is still getting used to them. It usually clears up, after about 3 months, once your body has adjusted to the medication.

I have been taking Sprintec for a while now, take my pills consistently and have never missed a day ever. I had sex on a Sunday, the first day of week 3 of the blue pills. That Tuesday I started bleeding (even though I was still on the blue pills). I bled for about 5 days straight. It was a light period -but was it a period at all (or breakthrough bleeding)? I am now on day 4 of the white pills, and even though I have cramps and feel like I'm going to start my period, I haven't yet. Should I expect a period this week? Why would I have a period while on the blue pills? A friend says I shouldn't bleed on the blue pills and that I should get a higher strength pill. Is this true? ## Since they are hormonal based contraceptives, it can be normal to experience these episodes of br...

I have been on Lo loestrin Fe for 3 months now and I only got my period the first month. I have been skipping the while and brown pills because my doctor says they were just reminder pills so I don't necessarily have to take them but I want to start taking them so I might get my period. I was wondering if its bad that I don't get my period? Could not getting it affect my reproductive system and not let me have a baby or a period later on? ## Your doctor told you there are white pills that you don't have to take, either? That is incorrect, only the brown pills in this pack are inactive, there are hormones in the other 28 tablets and you should be taking all of them. Only the 2 brown tablets are inactive placebo, reminder tablets. That means that there is a chance you may be p...

ive Been on tri-sprintec for about two weeks i take it everyday.just not at the same time am i ready to have unprotected sex ? ## How far apart do you take them? For ideal protection, they should be taken at 24 hour intervals and the variations should be no more than a few hours. To have unprotected sex, they must be taken continuously for a period of 7 days. It's also important to note that they do not protect against STDS.

my yorkie just ate my hormone replacement pill will this harm him, should i go to the vet? ## Wow, that's quite the story you have there. I actually found a similar story (posted below) after searching around that might help you feel a little more comfortable about what happened: "I am NOT a vet, nor do I have medical training, so my advice is in my experience ONLY. I still recommend calling your vet. When my GSD was young he ate an entire pack of my birth control pills. I contacted the emergency vet and they told me to monitor him for any symptoms of illness. He never got sick, and was fine. It did seem to make him more thirsty for a while, but he never got sick." Granted every dog is different, but I agree with my reference above, that you should contact your vet immediate...

Where is B Gap Tablet available in Aurangabad(Maharashtra) ## I'm sorry, but since we are based in the U.S., I do not have any information on where something is available in another country. Have you tried asking a pharmacist/chemist if they can help you locate this product? B-Gap is advertised as being a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy, however, since it is just an herbal supplement, it is not actually proven to work. ## iam going to take this b gap medidcine it there any disadvantages and it is for what purpose

I'm looking for doctors in the Tampa Bay area that will order and bill for the Mirena IUD. Any reccommendations will be greatly appreciated. ## Did you ever find someone? Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what IUD, if any, that any doctor will prefer, nor how they handle insurance coverage.

I started taking Tri-Sprintec in October for the first time. I took it on the second day my period started which was a Tuesday, my period stopped on Friday. I started having unprotected sex from Friday to the following Tuesday where I was still taking the blue pills, if I would miss one I would double up the following day. I stop taking the pack before the second set of pills even finished. I got my period again the last week of the month for my full five days. Now It's November and my period still hasn't come. I've been nauseous, throwing up, sore boobs, and head aches. I'm wondering if I could be pregnant? Are there any side effects from not completing a full 28 days of taking them. IDK please someone get back to me. Thank you ## my period started slowly on 3.11.11 and...

I've been on loestrin 24 fe for three months now and I haven't seen period yet. I've been freaking out because I'm concern of what's going on. I've taking pregnancy test through blood work and urine and both has came back negative. Any suggestions??? ## Since it does affect the hormones in your body, to prevent ovulation, this can be a completely normal thing to go through. There is, however, no harm in skipping your menstrual cycle and you are still protected against pregnancy, as long as you are taking the tablets daily, without missing any. Many women use contraceptive tablets to control when they are going to have their time of the month, to avoid it during special occasions, when it may be inconvenient to have one. Have you discussed your concerns with your ...

On wednesday I realized I was a day behind on my pills. I believe I missed my pill on monday. I doubled my dose on Wednesday. Then on Saturday realized my dose for Sunday is missing. Not sure if I missed my pill last Monday or doubled on Wednesday for no reason. What should i do to stay protected ## With the chance that you missed a pill, you should use extra protection, until are you certain that you have taken one every day, for 7 days in a row, without missing any. In the future, I'd suggest using some type of reminder system to make sure that you take them daily, as required to protect yourself from pregnancy. There are many computer reminder programs, or phone applications that you can use for this. Is there anything else I can help with?

My Dr. prescribed Sprintec for me to regulate my increasingly late periods. I am just starting it now for the first time. The Dr. messed up and didn't call it in to my pharmacy so I missed the day 1 and Sunday start options. Now it's monday and I don't know how to start taking these pills. I am just now stopping my period cycle for this month although I still have spotting. I'm concerned about how to start taking this first dose. I do not want to get pregnant right now so I don't know if I should just take the one dose, or if I should take a double dose as if I missed the Sunday dose of the medicine. Could someone please respond to me today so I know what to do. I can't call my Dr. after hours and I don't trust pharmacists at chain stores. Thank you. ## The d...

I switched from ortho cyclen to Lo Loestrin Fe because of the low dosage of estrogen, but I have not stopped spotting since I started it 2 months ago. I am now cramping as if my cycle is about to start, but I am in the middle of the pill pack! I do not know what is going on, but I will be calling my GYN next week. Does anyone know when the spotting will stop? ## Went to potty and now I am seeing blood clots! This is aweful. ## Have you contacted your doctor, yet? The spotting like this can be normal for the first 3 months that you are taking a new contraceptive pill. However, if you are finding it to be severe and it's making you miserable, you should definitely discuss it with your doctor, as it may not be the right medication for you to use.

i was on tri sprintec and june 27 i went to the drug store and she gave me these tri previfm pills but i started bleeding friday nite june 24 i had missed 2 pills now im still bleeding i just staretd taking the tri previfm pill june 27 cause it was a monday. my period was june 1. ## You are more than likely bleeding because you missed taking some of the pills. When you take them all, as you should, there is usually a week where you don't take any, or take a placebo pill with no active ingredients, that triggers your body to start your menstrual cycle. Therefore, by missing 2 tablets, you have done the same thing. You should, however, still continue to take them daily, as prescribed and make sure you don't miss any more of them, because that puts you at risk of pregnancy. Are the...

I just started taking Sprintec. I missed one week of pills. So I started taking the Sprintec pills the first week of the pack. Now I think Im gonna be behind on my period since I skipped a week of not taking any pills but didnt skip the first week of pills. How do I get back on track? ## You really don't need to worry about it, you can go back to your natural cycle, or allow the pills to adjust your cycle, there is no harm in it, either way. You can just continue taking the pills each day and go with that new cycle. Are there any other questions or comments?

I had my implanon removed 3 weeks ago on Wednesday. During the year my implanon was in I didn't get my period at all. I was experiencing a lot of emotional problems while on the implanon. Doctor said it was putting too many hormones in my body. So the day I got it removed I started taking birthcontrol. (Keeping in mind haven't had my period in over a year) my doctor said I could take it the same day but to stay protected for 2 weeks. Later that night my bf actually came inside of me just as a habbit of the implanon. I continued to take the pills everyday kind of around the same time but am experiencing a lot of tenderness in my breast I have 1 week of my pack left. Just wondering if I am even protected at all. Please help me. ## Have you talked to your doctor and/or done a pregn...

found out a couple of years ago my hormones were out of whack - testosterone running high, estrogen low. doc put me on yaz, which has been a godsend (other bcps made me retain water, made my blood pressure shoot up to almost 170, and gave me horrendous mood swings) - my pmdd has cleared up (no more having to take zoloft), my skin and hair are so much more healthy and feminine, and i'm finally able to gain weight where i need it (boobs and butt); before yaz, i had no problem losing weight, but was skinny like a boy. on yaz, i went from a size 5 to a size 11 being a little too snug. due to excessive walking and dieting, i am now down to a size 4/6 as far as my waist is concerned; however, my boobs have NOT decreased from a D cup (meaning medium tops balloon at my waist, small tops are...

If I start my cycle on Monday and want to start taking the pill on that day, I can't figure out which pill to take? ## You should start at the beginning of the pill pack, just like you would if you started on any other day. If you start taking them on the first day of your menstrual cycle, you should be protected from pregnancy immediately, however, starting at any other point requires using additional protection for the first 7 days. Is there anything else I can help with?

So I just stated Sprintec this month. I had previously been on Ortho-cyc for bout a year and switched due to Sprintec being cheaper and wanted to try something else for my horrible cramps! My doctor recommended this also because I can have a period only once every 3 months!! I started the pack right on schedule and as soon as my last pill came for that pack, (got my period) iI figuref it was just my body being used to bleeding ike clockwork... I figured I would just continue to the next pack as instructed to skip my period, and it would just go away after a few days die to taking my next pack of pills. Sigh... Didn't work continued to take the pills and still continued to ride my menstrual wave out. Now today is Sunday, my period should have been done Friday. I'm still sort of b...

I've been using Loestrin 24 Fe since middle July, & yesterday my boyfriend and I had sex and when he pulled out the condom was completely broken. We're not sure if he ejaculated in me but I'm kind of sure he did, because I felt some come out of me. I'm only a 17 yr old senior, so I need to be sure. HELP! ## If you've been taking the contraceptives tablets as prescribed, without missing any tablets, then you should be fine. Preventing pregnancy is what they are for and, when taking properly, they have a failure rate of less than 1%. When in doubt, emergency contraception is also freely available from most U.S. pharmacies and in many states it doesn't require a prescription. Is there anything else I can help with?
