Birth control

[Catherine.ann11]

I recently switched over from trisprintec? (Not sure of the spelling) to loestrin. I had been on my loestrin pills for about a week when I went camping with my boyfriend during this time I had random spotting and some cramping. He came inside of me and I'm currently on the brown pills now and haven't had cramps or started my period. Is this normal on this kind of birth control or during a switch. Should I be concerned?

Switching pills can definitely throw your body out of whack for a while, but you can always double check with a healthcare provider if you're concerned. As long as you started the pack of Loestrin when you would have started your next pack of Trisprintec, though, and took all your pills properly, your protection shouldn't have been compromised.
