Bleeding usually begins 2-3 days after the last pellet and can not end before receiving a new package.

  • The transition to the other combined oral contraceptives. Preferably begin receiving Triquilar the next day after the last active pellets from the previous package, but in any case no later than the next day after the usual 7 day interval (for formulations comprising 21 pills) or after the last inactive pills (for preparations containing 28 pills in the package)
  • The transition from contraceptives containing only progestogen (mini-pill, injectable form, implant) or from a progestogen-releasing intrauterine device (Mirena). A woman can go to the mini-pill Triquilar on any day (without a break), with the implant or intrauterine device with progestin - the date of its removal from the injection mold - the day when the next injection should have to be made. In all cases, you must use an additional barrier method of contraception during the first 7 days of tablet
  • After the abortion I trimester of pregnancy. The woman may start taking immediately. Subject to this condition the woman does not need extra contraceptive protection
  • After delivery or abortion in the II trimester of pregnancy. It is recommended to start taking the drug on day 21-28 after delivery or abortion in the II trimester of pregnancy. If the reception is started later, you must use an additional barrier method of contraception during the first 7 days of tablet-taking. However, if a woman has been sexually active, before you start taking Triquilar pregnancy should be excluded or must wait for the first menstrual period.

Admission missed pills

If the delay in taking pills is less than 12 hours, contraceptive protection is not reduced. The woman should take pills as soon as possible, should be taken at the usual time. If the delay in taking pills made more than 12 hours, contraceptive protection may be reduced. It is possible to be guided by the following two basic rules:

  • Receiving the drug should never be interrupted for more than 7 days
  • Required 7 days of continuous tablet-taking in order to achieve adequate suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian regulation.

Accordingly, these tips may be given if the delay in reception of pills was more than 12 hours (the interval since last receiving pellets over 36 hours):

The first week of taking the drug

The woman should take the last missed pills as soon as possible (even if this means taking two pills at once). Next take the pills at the usual time. In addition to be used a barrier method of contraception (eg a condom) for the next 7 days. If intercourse took place during the week before skipping pills, you need to take into account the chance of pregnancy.

The more pills missed and the closer they are to a break in the reception of active substances, the greater the likelihood of pregnancy.

The second week of taking the drug

The woman should take the last missed pills as soon as possible (even if this means taking two pills at once). Next take the pills at the usual time.

Provided that the woman has taken pills correctly in the 7 days preceding the first missed pills, there is no need to use additional contraceptive measures. Otherwise, as well as skipping of two or more must be added dragees barrier methods of contraception (e.g. condom) for 7 days.

The third week of taking the drug

The risk of reduced reliability is imminent because of the forthcoming break in taking pills. A woman should strictly adhere to one of the two following options. While in the 7 days preceding the first missed pills, all the pills are taken correctly, there is no need to use additional contraceptive methods.

1. As soon as the end pellets in the current package should start taking pills from the next package, ie between packages should not make the break. Withdrawal bleeding is unlikely until the end of the second pack, but may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding during the tablet-taking.

2. The woman may also interrupt the reception of pills from the current package. Then she should take a break for 7 days, including the day of skipping pills, and then start taking a new package.

If a woman misses pills, and then during a break in taking pills she had no withdrawal bleeding, pregnancy must be excluded.

Changing the date of the beginning of the menstrual cycle

In order to delay the onset of menstruation, the woman should continue taking the drug, using the latest 10 pills from a new package Triquilar, without making a break in the reception. Thus, the cycle may be extended for up to 10 days until the end of the second pack. Against the background of the drug from the second package, women may experience spotting or breakthrough uterine bleeding. Regular intake Triquilar then resumed after the usual 7-day break in taking pills.

In order to move the first day of menstruation to another day of the week, the woman should be reduced following a break in the reception of pills at the desired number of days. The shorter the interval, the higher the risk that she will not have withdrawal bleeding and, in the future, will be spotting and breakthrough bleeding while taking second pack (just as when she wanted to delay the onset of menses).
