Started Period 1 Day B4 Start New Pill Pack (Top voted first)

Updated

Hello, I have been on Tri-sprintec for almost 2 years, and this past month my Rx service changed to Tri-Previfem. My concern is that i just started my period today (saturday) and i am supposed to start my new pill pack tomorrow (sunday) i just feel like i did not really have a period yet. Now i am wondering if i should not start the new pill pack and just let my period finish??? please help!

Your period will finish its natural course even if you take the pills and for proper protection against pregnancy, you should start them on the normal day you are supposed to.

Tri-Previfem and Tri-Sprintec both contain the same ingredients, your pharmacy service was probably just able to obtain the new one cheaper than the previous.

Some common side effects you may experience can include: nausea, headache, breakthrough bleeding and weight gain.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

My diet has not changed and I still am working out 4 days a week could it have to do with. The switch of brands? I am thinking of stopping my pills I can't stand how bloated I feel! Help

You are not alone. Same thing happenend to me and 3 of my friends who were all on tri-sprintec. I loved it. was able to lose weight and had a great mood, energy and libido. I was on tri-prifvem and gained 8 lbs in a month. Awful mood swings too. Called my doctor and she put me on the brand name ortho tri cyclen. CANNOT drop the weight I gained and still feel blah on it after 3 months. I am considering having her write me an Rx for just Sprintec since that is still around. Not a triphasic though but it may work better. Good luck. You are soo not alone on this.
