Noticing Delay In Periods
I have been on Tri Sprintec for 6 months now and my last period was kind of a spottingish period and lasted for about 4 days and this month I am on the white pill week and still no period. I have taken a pregnancy test that was negative. What does this mean?

Hi.Pregnancy test negative means your pill is working and showing its effect.
White tablets are inert tablets which do not contain any active ingredient that is hormones. You may get periods within a week's time and then you can start the new pack after withdrawl.The only precaution is you are not to forget any tablet and take it regularly. Previous light bleeding may be nothing scary. But if you don't get periods after this pack get an ultrasound done before starting a new pack.Thanks.
