6 Topics Found

My boyfriend is coming back from college and he is only going to be in town for the weekend. I started my white pills this past Sunday but want to be done with my period by Friday night or early Saturday. This is my first month taking it so I'm not sure how my body gonna work with it yet. My periods are usually a full 7 days. Do periods tend to be shorter when on sprintec? If not can I start my blue pills on Thursday or Friday to make my period end sooner? ## For the first few months on birth control, your menstrual cycle is actually usually longer than your normal cycle, because your body has to adjust to the hormones. Sometimes, it is even skipped altogether, which may happen if you are lucky. However, once you have started the inactive tablets and not taken the active ones for a ...

I am currently taking Tri-Sprintec and my boyfriend is coming home on leave for a week. I am going to be on my period that week. I was wondering if I could just skip the white pills and just start a new pack and if that would make me skip a period? How safe or effective could that work? ## Yes, you can do this, it is something women have been doing for years. It is perfectly safe and allows to skip your period when needed, one of the advantages of being on birth control. Is there anything else I can help you with? ## hello there! the link didnt work but thank you for your help. but i have another question. even though the 3 weeks of active pills are different colors which means they contain a different amount of hormones.. would the whole skipping the sugar pills still work? and your pr...

My dr gave me thes sprintec bc stop my period I took them for a week and a half I started them to regulate my cycle to get pregnant do one if the pills make you fertile if I take just the blue or white 1s ## No, these pills will not improve your fertility and help you to get pregnant, while you are taking them they actually prevent pregnancy. From what you're describing, it seems he's given them to you so they could help rebalance the hormones in your body, to improve your chances of getting pregnant later, when you stop taking them. However, you won't get pregnant while you are taking them. Learn more oral contraceptive details here.

Ive been on sprintec for many months now and when it comes time to take the white pills, I dont usually get my period until the 4th, 5th, or 6th day. Not sure why this happens. I have to pretend to have my period so my mom doesn't think I'm pregnant. I have been engaging in intercourse, but we use a backup method of protection every time. I also rarely miss any pills, and if I do, I make sure to take them right away, or to take two at a time, etc etc. I follow the directions. I just don't know why my period is always so late. I'm a sunday starter, and today is thursday and still no bleeding. The last time I had intercourse was 12/20, and today is 1/2. This happened with last month's period as well. It came pretty late. Thanks in advance for any tips. ## Hello, Lola! ...

i've never been on birth control before, so i know nothing about how it works! i started lo loestrin on 7/6, the first day of my last cycle. just took my first white pill about an hour ago. when will my period come? during the 2 white pills? during the 2 brown pills? or when i start next month's blue pills? anyone else as confused as i am? to make matters worse, i'll be starting tri-sprintec next month. those pills are FOUR different colors!!! ## Hi Jan, I wouldn't worry. I imagine that your period will start the following month. However, if it doesn't come, don't be alarmed. Your body will need time to acclimate to the birth control and that might set things off course for a little while. Just keep taking your pills and be sure to ask your gynecologist what to e...

So I have been taking sprintec for about six months and always started my period about two to three days after starting the week of my white pills. Well, I am on my second week of the blue pills and my period started. Should I be worried? ## Hi Mac, Based on my research, changes in your menstrual cycle can occur while taking Sprintec. If this side effect worsens or makes life more difficult for you, I would contact your healthcare provider and speak with him/her about taking a different form of this medication.
