Why did I still get my period???

I have been on birth control (sprintec) since January 2010…I have not missed one pill whatsoever and I was told by my doctor and a friend that if I wanted to “skip a period” I just needed to throw out my white pills and continue with the blue active pills. well I did that this month and I still got my period..it was not heavy at all but has lasted for the regular seven days…I am confused because I thought I would “skip” my period…can anybody please help me…any real answers would be greatly appreciated.. thank you very much

Answer #1

Well you just have too wight though,becauses periods take time.

Answer #2

My pharmacist told me that sometimes it can actually mess up the hormones and you could end up not skipping your period. She recommended not to do it (even though you could).

So that could be what has happened in your case. I don’t know the exact workings of the pill, so maybe you can phone your doctor or ask any pharmacist if they can give you a more detailed explanation?
