Period During Week 3 Of Sprintec 28 Day

Updated

I have been taking Sprintec for 3 months now (just started the 4th week of my 3rd pack). I started my first pack on the first day of my period and during the first month I got my period during the 4th week. When I took the second pack, I got my period half way through week 3, and now in my third pack I got my period 2 days before week 4. Could this be my body still adjusting to the hormones and is it effective even though I get my period before week 4?

Yes, the effectiveness doesn't change, unless you actually miss taking any of the active tablets.

And it can take 3 months for your body to get used to the hormones, however, you should check things out with your doctor to be sure. There's a chance that it just might not be the right OC for you to take.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. I was wondering if you had any other issue with the sprintec. I am having almost the exact same issue as you just have not started mobth 3 yet. But everything you have described is pretty much the same with me. I just started my period halfway through week 3 on my 2nd pack/month.
