What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Fatigue While On Birth Control Pills?
I m almost 40, 129lbs, on Tri Linyah. I shortened the last placebo week by 2 days, started the pill on a Tuesday instead of a Thursday. I was sexually active during the placebo week and am wondering if starting the next pill pack 2 days early has any effect on the protection. I ve had some slight cramping and have been tired. Not sure if that is usual either for an early start? Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you should take the pill at its time because the hormonal contraceptives need to mimic the natural cycle. It may not affect protection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
