"i have been on birth control for over 3 years.  i too was on sprintec until they changed it to tri-previfem - didn&#039;t notice any changes with my body between the two.  the first month i started taking the pill was crazy, my emotions were uncontrollable (it was scary) and my skin was breaking out.  i don&#039;t like tri-previfem but it does keep me from getting pregnant.  skin still breaks out but i don&#039;t know if that&#039;s just me or the pill doing it.  i never really got period cramps/symptoms before the pill, now i do.  periods are much lighter and shorter though.  my boobs grew about half a size.  no weight gain.  no libido either - my boyfriend hates it but the pill is the best way to avoid pregnancy.  wouldn&#039;t recommend unless necessary."
