Sprintec 28 Birth Control Start Date (Top voted first)

Updated

We've started my daughter on sprintec 28 birth control pills 21 days ago to regulate her menstrual cycle. She started her period 13 days after she starrted taking the pill - this is the 11th day and she is still bleeding. Very heavy at times. I did not know she had to be on her period when she was to take her first pill. She was not. My question - should she stop taking them? Or what should we do??

I'm about to start taking Sprintec 28. I haven't taken my first one yet, and I just started my period (On a Sunday) so should I take my first pill tonight? Or wait until next Sunday?

I have not had a normal menstrual cycle in years and I was told that birth control could regulate my cycle. I am now on Tri-sprintec, this is my first time taking birth control pills and I just wanted to know if the birth control will help my cycle to come on its own or will I have to take birth control forever to actually get a cycle?

You do not have to be on your period to start Sprintec. You can however start it on your first day of your period or the first Sunday after your menstrual cycle.

Im scared, i got off the deppo shot 3 months ago, and now they want me to do the pill. im scared becsuse the deppo shot made me emotional, hair loss, and my period completely stopped, nd im sexually active. that scared me a bunch. my sister took sprintec and it gave her a respiratory infection. i dont know if i should take them...

The chance is slight, but it is there. You run the risk of pregnancy anytime you miss a pill.

You need to find some way to make sure you remember to take them in the future.

I would talk to your doctor about it. She might need a different amount of mg for her, that or a different type of birth control.

Yes! Normal minstration should only last a week at most.
Bright red signifies fresh bleeding. This is not normal and can led to anemia. Let the doctor decide what is the best birth control for you.

My daughter just started taking sprintec. She wants to quit taking them because she is getting very emotional and crying a lot. She is also very upset about the possibilities of gaining weight. I know that some medications cause side effects that go away after your body gets used to them. I don't want her to quit taking them if these side effects will go away, but right now she says they make her hate herself. Does anyone have any input on this?

I been on Tri Sprintec since October 2012 & I just decided to stop taking them. I missed the last inactive(white) pill and my cycle was still on. I haven't had a pill in 3 days now. My cycle came on Wednesday & still hasn't stopped. It normally stays on for 5 days. Today i shouldn't have seen as much as I seen. Should I be worried ? Or what to do ?
