How does TriNessa work?

I am on my third week of using trinessa. I had unprotected sex and he may have let some sperm get into me. What is the percentage that I can get pregnant? Also, when does trinessa start to protect against pregnancy?



Like most birth control pills do.



I would like to start off by telling you...You really should have paid attention in High School health class or should be if you are in High School. They really do tell you like everything you need to know. Secondly. YOU CAN GET PREGNANT WHILE ON ANY BIRTH CONTROL! Also pulling out does NOT work I repeat NOT work. The only sure fire way of not getting pregnant is to NOT have sex.Birth Control and Condoms and anything else is only 99.whatever percent positive. My grandmother conceived her first child while on birth control and using a condom. You need to take the pill religiously. That means every day around or at the same time. USE a condom. Always. Unless you trust your partner 100% and you know. Because where as the pill is suppose to stop pregnancy it does not stop STD's. Men have something called pre-cum which many don't know even happens and guess what...You can also get pregnant off of that. Most birth control pills start to really work after like the third or fourth month of taking them. Your doctor should have told you these things when he/she prescribed the pill to you. Also everytime you get a refill or just pick up your prescription there are papers that come with it. Read them. They tell you everything about the medication you are taking.

Question was not answered



You didn't answer her question. You just lectured her.

Hey Girl! I'm sure you paid attention in Health Class. It is Health Class after all not Chemistry nor Pharmaceuticals. 

 This is how TriNessa <u>should</u> work:  

TriNessa helps prevent pregnancy in three ways. The primary method is to inhibit ovulation.

• By delivering a low dose of progestin and estrogen, TriNessa prevents your body from releasing an egg.

• If the egg is not released, it can’t be fertilized, and conception can’t occur.

• TriNessa should be taken every day, at the same time of day, to maximize its effectiveness.

The hormones in TriNessa also cause changes in the body that help prevent pregnancy.

• Taking the Pill causes the lining of the uterus to change, which makes it hard for an egg to be implanted.

• It also thickens mucus around the cervix—making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.

Why 4 Colors?

TriNessa is a triphasic birth control pill, which means that it delivers a different level of hormones for 3 weeks (white, light blue and dark blue pills) and no hormones for 1 week (green pills). During each of the first 3 weeks, the level of progestin increases.
