"i was on sprintec for over 2 years with no complications then all of a sudden i started to get horrible abdominal pain and nausea ( i seriously thought i was dying) and no one could figure out why!!!! at least 2 trips to the er, ct scans, blood work, urine tests nothing showed up, multiple trips to my gyno, prompt cares, hours on the phone. i noticed my pain would always go away for a week later figuring out that was when i was on my sugar pill week!! 4 months of pain $3,000 in debt later and no doctor ever questioning my birth control ( i thought nothing of it because i was on it for 2 years with no problems) i quit taking my birth control and all of my pain went away!! this stuff is horrible and i will never take birth control again"
