Sprintec Spotting Between Periods

Updated September 24, 2016

I started Sprintec a week and a half ago, first time ever on birth control, on the Sunday of my period, for the purpose of skipping my period two cycles from now. I noticed nausea almost immediately and pretty much everyday. I'm okay with that because I've been eating less. I started spotting three days ago, very light, but still need to wear a panty liner. I know it says that spotting is normal, but I just don't want it to last for weeks, all to skip my period for 5 days in two months. Could this be my period? Or how long does this last? Also, I was taking vitamins, which I will now stop taking, as I read that increases side effects. I just want to see if this will be worth skipping a period in two months, and it will actually skip. Thank you!

Hello, Rita! How are you?

Actually, the spotting may continue for the first 3 months, or so, according to the FDA. YOu may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptoms.

There are never any guarantees that it will work to skip your period, that is iffy.

Is there anything else I can help with?
