Norethinderone And Sprintec To Delay Period

Can i take norethinderone and sprintec to delay my period. I have taken norethinderone alone to delay my period . But I have recently been prescribed sprintec as a BC. I haven't started it yet and am on my period now - 3rd day. I am traveling next month and do not want to have my period when I'm away. Is there any reason I shouldn't take both meds or would it be to much. I'm just afraid continuing the blue sprintec pills, wont be enough to stop the cycle . Any suggestions? Thank you.

Have you consulted your doctor to see what would be best, and safest for you?

Usually, women can just skip their period by continuing the active tablets, rather than taking the inactive ones for that week, however, this may not work for you, since you are new to taking the birth control, which means you are likely to experience more side effects that may include irregular bleeding.

Ref: Sprintec Information

The FDA lists its other possible side effects as including: nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, weight changes, and mood changes.

Why haven't you started it, yet? Usually, oral contraceptives are started the first day of your period.
