Sprintec Problems
I was on Ortho Tri for nine years, no problems. After switching to sprintec, the pills no longer worked. I was having periods while on the active pills and my vulva became dry and irritated (like a knife stabbing it). I can't get the pain to go away. Anyone else with this problem?
You'll have to go back to him and tell him the side effects are too much. There are a lot of other options out there if you want to do the every 3 months thing. He needs to be willing to work with you to find a pill that won't cause these type of side effects.
He just told me to stop using it. And he switched it so that I could go three months instead of monthly with my cycles. I have had a cycle every month now for four months with chronic vulvar pain.
Since you're having repeated problems with this pill, you need to call your doctor and let them know it's not working for you. Did you get switched because of insurance? Because if you were on OTC for such a long time with no side effects than it doesn't make sense why your doc would switch you to something else.
