"i have been on this birth control for maybe going on my third month. so far i have more positives than negatives. i have barely had any acne at all, maybe one here and there. i&#039;m not very emotional either. before i began taking sprintec i always had horrifying cramps at the beginning of my period each month, now i barely have any at all. the worst part about this birth control for me is that i&#039;ve gained 20 pounds and it is noticeable."
