negative side affects?

has anyone ever gotten on bcp and started losing feeling in their arms?

through out the day and more often when i wake up from sleeping (i sleep on my tummy arms are normally straight never had a problem) i lose blood flow and its quite painful

when i started my bcp Tri Sprintec 28 its like my arm started losing circulation

i googled it and some women have had similar problems but i wanted a person to talk too with this

I'm on vacation and i wont be home for another week

any opinions and advice? concerns? thank you.

My bc pill pamphlet says if you have any numbness or tingling, I would assume loss of feeling you are experiencing is numbness, to go to the doctor immediately. Make an appt when you get back. If it were me personally I would stop taking them immediately. You could be getting a blood clot

I would definitely be freaking out if that was me! hope it helped. I would definitely talk to a doctor as soon as you can. this will also help you find a different method.

do you have your pamphlet with you? it's up to you. mine says numbness and tingling is a rare side effect but serious. I'm not sure if it does have to do with blood clot but body parts fall asleep or become numb when there is little to no circulation
