Why would you have your period in the middle of your pill pack?
I can't explain why, but it is normal. Your body is getting used to the hormone so it can take a while before they happen at the end of the pill pack.
Why do you have to take the sugar pill?
assuming you are referring to the inert pills in a pack of 28 day birth control pills, you take the pill to keep you used to taking the pill so you wont forget when its time to take the pill pill again
What if you started a pill pack three days late?
Then do not have unprotected sex until you start your next pill pack...ON TIME.
You just finish your first pack of Tri Sprintec and I am on the non active white pill in the pack but have not gotten your period yet is this normal?
yes this is normal if you used it correctly since its your first pack it takes some time for your body to get used to it
What is the gray Tri-Sprintec pill used for?
All of the colored pills in the Tri-Sprintec pack contain hormones to prevent pregnancy. They are used for contraception.
What happens if you lose one birth control pill?
If you lose a birth control pill, take the next day's pill, and so on, until you finish the pack. You'll start your next pack a day early, as it's important not to go more than seven days without taking an active pill. In other words, if you started this last pack with the lost pill on Sunday, you'll start the next pack on Saturday, and that will be your new start day.
Can one take rest of active pills in pack and not placebos because of bleeding due to one missed pill that was taken when realized because 2 and a half weeks of bleeding is miserable?
Yes, absolutely! If you missed a pill, there's no need to throw away the pack. Just as you did, you take the missed pill as soon as remembered, then continue with the pack. You can skip the placebos at the end of the pack as well and go right to the first active pill in the next pack.
Can you switch from Yaz to microgynon?
Yes, you can switch. Just start the new pack of the new pill no later than you were scheduled to start the next pack of the old pill.
What is the color of the active pill in a pack?
The color of the active pills in a birth control pack varies by brand. Contact your pharmacist for information specific to your birth control pill.
When do you start your new pack of birth control pills?
You start your new pack of pills when you finish your old pack. Lets say you had you last pill on a Wednesday, you then start your new pill on Thursday. If its your first pack you have ever taken then you either start your first pill on the day you start your period or on the Sunday during your period. At first you period will not go with the pill correctly; it my take a month or two for your period to adjust.
What happens if your period is late and you are on the pill?
you probably missed a couple, go back and check your pill pack.
Which pill is the reminder?
It should be the last pill in the pack that is different colored from the active pills. Different pill brands different color pills.
