"before sprintec, i would have my period every 6 months. two times a year. it scared me so i went to my gyno doctor and she told me i wasn&#039;t ovulating so i was put on medication. my first month was horrible. i started my period on the very last day of my 4th week. the cramps were unbearable. i didn&#039;t sleep for that whole week. i&#039;ve been gaining weight and its so hard to lose weight. i get bad chest pains and feel faint sometimes. its only been a month and a half though. no acne though."
