What Causes Early Menstruation After Taking 2 Sprintec Pills?
Question: I take sprintec not so much for birth control but to address high testosterone. I forgot to take my pills Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so I took two on Thursday. Before I took my pills today, December 25, I realized my period started early. I was not supposed to start my placebo/ blank week of pills until January 10th. Should I continue my pill pack or start a new one when my period is done?
Brief Answer:
start the new pack now
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
It's best that you start the new pack now since you have got your period. Take this as your new cycle and start the new pack today omitting the placebo/blank week.
This will prevent ovulation and help with reducing testosterone and provide contraception.
Hope this helps.
Do get back to me if any further queries.
Regards.
