A member asked:

Can changing birth control from tri-sprintec to tri-linyah throw my period off a few days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Changing periods: Birth control pills although on paper may be very similar because of production differences can in fact have different biological responses. Anytime you change somebody's pill funny things can happen. Obviously have to keep your eyes open for possible pregnancy and other metabolic problems. When in doubt see the doc.
