I have missed my period the last 3 months, I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative, can I start taking sprintec or do I need to go see a doctor?

Hello, Megan! How are you?

If you've not consulted your doctor about the issue, then it would be best to do so, before starting the Sprintec, to be safe. You may be experiencing a hormonal imbalance and might need a different hormonal dosage to correct the issue.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, PMS-like symptoms and breakthrough bleeding.

Are you on any other medications? Have you ever experienced irregularities like this, before?
