Sprintec Menstrual Changes - Pregnancy Risk?

Updated

I've been taking Sprintec for about a year now and everything has been fine but this month I got my period during the third week while still on the blue pills. I continued taking my pack so I'm on day 3 of the white pills but I'm now worried since they're sugar pills that I'm at risk. Suggestions?

Hello, Sara! How are you?

No, you are not at risk. Hormonal based contraceptives work by preventing ovulation, so as long as you didn't miss any of the active tablets, you are still fine and have the same pregnancy risk as you do at any other time.

Is there anything else I can help with?

This exact situation is one I am dealing with. So I can have intercourse while taking the white pills and not get pregnant? Because I'm almost done with blue ones and I'm finishing up my early period while taking blue pills, staying in order with the pills that come in the packet
