Birth Control/Delaying your period.

Question
I'm on Tri-Sprintec, and I was wondering if I delay my period for a week, will I have spotting during the week that I'm "supposed" to be on it?

Answer
Dear Bianca,

Thanks for your question. I don't usually recommend delaying your period. The hormones could affect your natural cycle afterwards. Is there a special reason you would want to do this? Let me know so I can further advise you. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
