okay, not quite a month ago i started taking the pill (trinessa....a generic for ortho tricyclene (sp) i think)...it makes me break out horribly, i've gained weight, and i'm almost constantly excessively...wet...not to mention it makes me horny as a 15 year old boy all the time (before i started it i had a very low sex drive). i left for the weekend last week and forgot to take it with me, and i think i'm starting my period early or spotting or something now (i guess that'd happen with everyone/all pills/etc. though)... should i call my gyno and ask her to switch it to another one, or what? (and for refills, do i have to call every month and ask her to call it in?) haha sorry, dumb newbie questions. but yeah...has anybody else had these problems with trinessa??
according to my birth control pack if you miss 3 ormore pills in a row, discared the pack and start a new one that same day, use a backup method of birth control for at least a week, and be aware that you may not mensturate next time around As for your side-affects well... I'm personally not a fan of the triphasic pills (ones where each week has a different dose of hormones)... they seem to have more problems than the monophasic ones (for three weeks, same dose of hormones, then one week without). I used to be on tri-cyclen, got a ton of yeast infections on it, whereas Alesse (monophasic) just gives me mild pms 2/3 months Have you talked to your doctor about finding another pill? I mentioned the yeast infection thing to my doc and she suggested that I try Alesse, that triphasic pills are bad for stuff like that but monophasic ones are usually less problematic
no i haven't, i'm going to soon though...and i only missed 2 pills but i totally didn't know about that.... and yeah, it is the kind with the different dosage for each week...do you think i have to actually go into the drs or just call?
