Do I Have To Have My Period?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi all - I just started taking Sprintec, I had previously been on YAZ but when the generic brand came out Kaiser made me switch to that, had tons of weight gain and moodiness so I switched to Sprintec. When I was on YAZ I was able to skip my period...basically I would just not take the "sugar" pills and go straight to the next pack of birth control. I was wondering if anyone else has done this with Sprintec and if their doctors recommended it or not. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

im taking sprintec as well and i just got off the phone with my doc, she said its perfectly fine for you to skip the placebos to avoid your period, but that it make take a few months for your body to adjust. especially if your switching bcp it may take longer , it may work out just fine. i myself am trying to skip my period bc im going on vacation soon so ill will have to let you know how that works out. good luck!

Have you consulted your doctor?

You should check with them, in most cases, unless there are certain medical reasons, it isn't necessary to have your period more than a few times a year.

I am not, however, familiar with this pill, so I am not sure what tablets you'd skip to enable you to avoid having a menstrual cycle.
