I'm currently on tri-sprintec, and have been noticing that, every month, my skin is clear during the second half of Week 3 and during sugar/placebo pill week.Does this mean that the BC isn't really doing much for my skin? Or is Week 3 the strongest dose and BC is working?
My skin on the end of Week 1 and during Week 2 is pretty bad.
Please please help! I don't want to take BC if it's not helping my skin.
Please try switching to Ortho Cyclen, which keeps the hormones stable throughout the month, unlike the Tri version.
So many acne sufferers on here have problems with the Tri that clear up when they switch to the "mono" version, which is just Ortho Cyclen.
Well, my main concern isn't whether THIS birth control is the right/wrong one and whether another might be better. Ideally, I'd like to get off birth control. if anyone can help me speculate as to whether my birth control is not helping me at all and whether it'd be better for me to just get off it. That'd be awesome
Eh, well I really can't help you then. Birth control effectiveness is a gradient. Some are better, some are worse, but it's not really black and white.
Since a lot of people have problems with the Tri version, if you're not willing to try any other brand, then may as well just get off it completely.
