Supposed to start week of inactive sugar pills but accidentally started a new pack of Trivora. Concerned about preventing pregnancy ?
Patient: I am on Trivora birth control . Yesterday I was supposed to start my week of inactive sugar pills but i accdientally started a new pack. I am sexually active and am more concerned about preventing pregnancy than period irregularity. Should I just continue with the new pack or should I take the sugar pills as I was supposed to? Doctor: HiThere is no reason to be worried. Continue taking the new pack.Since you started the new pack without taking the inactive pills you will not get your period this week. Now you will get your periods after completing the active pills of the new pack.Taking the new pack directly  is definitely going to protect against pregnancy. The only change will be that you will not get mensus this week.I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
