I missed a period. i took tri-sprintec for 8 days and suddenly stopped to take it. can it be that i missed a period because i stopped it suddenly?

Possible: You should always finish your pack at the end not the beginning or middle unless there is a good medical reason to do so (ie you find out your pregnant) this will create less bleedign issues and abnormal cycles.
