TriNessa (ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate) for Birth Control: I absolutely love this birth control. All of my friends are on different birth controls and are always moody and more than half of them have gotten pregnant. I have been on Trinessa for 9 months now and believe me it works! Plus I used to have extremely difficult periods. I would get 2 a month and they would last 9 days and now I have a normal period that comes once a month and only lasts about 5 days and no more getting sick and crampy either. Needless to say I thank my doctor every time I see her for introducing me to Trinessa. I now recommend it to all of my friends.

TriNessa (ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate) for Birth Control: I was on Tri-Nessa for 5 years never using any other form of birth control..no condoms or anything. I decided to switch birth control pills, 3 months later I got pregnant. Needless to say, I had the Doctor put me back on Tri-Nessa.

TriNessa (ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate) for Birth Control: I liked Ortho-tri-cyclen better, but Tri-Sprintec way worse! I experienced heavier and longer periods while on it and mood swings sometimes (could just be the norm for a 25 year old female though!). I switched to Tri-Sprintec and experienced extreme nausea, although the pharmacist insisted it was the exact same medications, just different manufacturers. I will be going back on Trinessa next month.

TriNessa (ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Has never worked properly for my daughter. She had 2 blood transfusions last year due to abnormal bleeding. After 1st transfusion, the doctor put her on Trinessa. Less than 2 months later she was in the hospital having the second transfusion. She has been on another brand (Chryselle) ever since, which has been working. Well her prescription just ran out last month. So, I called the office to get another prescription and did not notice until I had picked up the 3 month supply that it was Trinessa again. I felt uneasy but decided to let her proceed with that medication, here we are again with the bleeding issues.

TriNessa (ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate) for Birth Control: No real problems here. A in pregnancy prevention in my book. I admit to not being as regular about it as I should, and sometimes miss pills. The worst that has happened as a result is irregular periods. They've come almost always after I've messed up taking my doses, so I accredit it to that.
My only complaint is that it's always a bit hard to remember to take them. Not much anybody can do about that except me, I suppose.
