Missed 3 Active Pills Of Trisprintec Week 2 (Top voted first)

I forgot to take Thursday thru Saturday of week 2 trisprintec pills. I went ahead and took the three that I missed and now I'm cramping. Should I continue my pack since I have one week left or just start a new pack after my period?

REPORT

I've been on Sprintec 28 for abt 3yrs or more..was taking the 3rd row blue pills and on Monday, i realized i had misplaced them!..thinkin I would find them & double-up on Tuesday! Not so, so now we're using condoms for protection!.. (in hindsight i should've called dr or pharmacy for advice!)..on Thursday started bleeding heavily but no cramping... so convinced myself I probably needed to wait until after my approaching cycle to restart active pills as usual. i was to start my menstrual cycle (white pills) on Sunday ...bleeding stopped on Monday....now today is Thursday, no cycle yet!!... should I be alarmed??

Hello, Chloe! How are you?

At the point where you miss that many, the FDA instructions usually tell you to start a new pack. However, unless your doctor says otherwise, you can start your new pack the first day of your period. That will ensure that you're immediately protected from pregnancy.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?
