Question
hello ive been on tri-sprintec for about a month now (first time) im suppose to get my period every 28-30 days i just go my period today which is a couple days early then im suppose to, also its comming out really really light is this normal??
Have you ever used any contraceptive pill before? Most likely this is normal as pills may regulate your cycle to a bit shorter than 30 days. You should always check with the doctor who prescribed the pill to you with questions of this nature. The doctor has your complete history and is much better able to answer such questions.
