Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Fatigue While On Birth Control Pills?
I m almost 40, 129lbs, on Tri Linyah. I shortened the last placebo week by 2 days, started the pill on a Tuesday instead of a Thursday. I was sexually active during the placebo week and am wondering if starting the next pill pack 2 days early has any effect on the protection. I ve had some slight cramping and have been tired. Not sure if that is usual either for an early start? Thanks!

What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Fatigue While On Birth Control Pills?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I think you should take the pill at its time because the hormonal contraceptives need to mimic the natural cycle. It may not affect protection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
