Question
Hi-

I currently take Tri-Sprintec and this is my first cycle with it.  I finished my last active pill on Friday and now it is Tuesday morning--and no period.  I did not miss any pills or do anything that would cause pregnancy.  Should i be concerned or do I need to give it more time?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for your question. First off, I want to tell you that I'm not a medical doctor so please check in with your physician about this or any other health matters. You could be a little concerned but it's probably the hormones and the change in your body because of hormones that is throwing the cycle off. I would wait a few more days and see what happens. If you want to get a free pregnancy test, go to this website http://www.optioline.org and see what they say. Is it necessary that you take birth control pills or that you need to be on any method? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more about other methods.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
