"i was prescribed sprintec because of longer than usual periods- i had three that lasted up to 11 days each. i started sprintec 24 days ago, on the day my period started, and it hasn&#039;t ended yet. i&#039;ve never missed a pill. i didn&#039;t get acne or nausea or mood swings or weight gain, but a 24 day long period (and counting) is definitely not what i signed up for. i&#039;m going back to my doctor to switch off it immediately."
