Not getting Period while taking TriNessa

I am on the seven green pills at the end of your 28 day cycle. I am on the 3rd green pill and have not had any bleeding. Am I pregnant or is this common? I usually get my period the day before I start the green pills or the day I start them.



thank you, colleen




Same problem with TriNessa



I'm having the same problem. I'm on the green ones, and I usually get my period that Tuesday (which is today). I haven't yet gotten it, and I usually get it in the morning. I missed 2 pills this month, but took them the next morning when I remembered. Could this have effected it or is this common?

TriNessa (Oral Contraceptive)



I've got the same issue as you guys too. The last pill I took was the Monday night pill on the green. I've had a few problems with these pills, exactly like this. I get so worried because I think I'm pregnant, than I get my period. This might be the latest I have gone without getting my period though, and it seems to get later and later each month. I'm not sure if its always a defect in the pill or if I'm pregnant, so I sit and worry. I haven't missed a pill this month, but I don't always take them on the exact time spot either.

It seems to me that I shouldn't worry, because it's not the first time I've had a late period, and now theres other people with the same problem, but it's really annoying to worry about something so simple like this. Maybe I should call a doctor who specializes in TriNessa.

Anyways, I hope you guys take some sort of comfort in this issue, since we're all dealing with the same issue. I've dealt with this for about 3 consecuitive months now, and I always end up getting my period. Hope everything works out for the best for all of you!

Light to almost no period, off schedule



I also have this problem; it's a good way to freak me out. (I'm really careful, just excessively paranoid). It doesn't seem right to be so off the mark; I just take all the pills in succession, is this ok? I haven't noticed any other side effects other than sore breasts. Is there a medical explanation for this? I've been on birth control for about 2 years now, and I was on Ortho for awhile before I swtiched to Trinessa in the last 5 months or so (so it seems like it should have straightened out by now!).

same problem!



This does make me feel better. I am having the same problem and just started TriNiessa. I am on my first set of green pills and have not started my period. I had very, very minimal spotting the first day of the green pills. Also, I have had all of the pre-mentrual symptoms. I get paranoid and extremely nervous when my period doesn't come. If it doesn't come by tomorrow I will be getting a test to see. I hope this problem doesn't continue. I haven't heard of any medical explanation, but it would make me feel a lot more comfortable. Not getting your period on time can be such a stressful thing.

No Signs of a Period on 4th Green Pill (Trinessa)



This is my first month taking Trinessa and I was beginning to worry about being pregnant because I am on my 4th green pill today with no signs of a period. So I took a pregnancy test to ease my mind and thankfully it was negative! I also feel better knowing that this is a common thing for people taking this specific birth control pill. So obviously, the change in hormones has caused my cycle to be way off! I'll continue to take my pills and try to take them at the same time each day, which I haven't been doing.

First Montj using Trinessa and really anxious for my period to come



I've just started using Trinessa this month and I'm starting on the green pills its my second one but I don't see any signs of my period coming a little cramping and I'm trying to be patient but km just so nervous. Because I'm used to My period being on time without birth control. I just wish someone could give me reassurance.
