I just got off of my period & I'm ready to start a new pack. My pharmacy switched me to Tri-Previfem and I don't know which pill to take or which week to start with without starting my period again. Can someone please explain how I start this new pack and which week is which?

Hello, Farrah! How are you? I'm sorry about the confusion and am happy to clear this up for you.

According to the manufacturers website, you should start with the first pill of week one and then continue as your normally would.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?
