What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Trinessa Pills?
I am currently on birth control, Trinessa, and I was told by my doctor that if I don t take the last 7 pills (the fake ones) I wouldn t get my period. I tried that and it worked last month. Toward the end of my next birth control pack i got my period and it has lasted almost 2 weeks. I am not sure what to do! This has happened before and I switched birth control but I am not sure if that is what I ll need to do now.
