Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for coming to us with your concern.
The generic form of ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation, which is the release of an egg from an ovary. Tri-Linyah is a brand name of this drug.
This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Even though the pill was prescribed to treat your acne, it is a contraceptive. It is recommended that you use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using the pill for its contraceptive benefit.
spookyblack, you may have been protected since he did not ejaculate inside of you and you had been taking the pill for eight days. Wait and see if you have your period.
