"i just started taking sprintec because i had a large cyst (14x8) on one of my ovaries, which caused me to lose that ovary so my doctor but me on this to help prevent any future cysts. i&#039;m only 16. plus my periods were really irregular, it could be 28 days or 36 days before i would get my period and they always lasted 7 days. i only have minor cramps which is normal and so far the only side effect is i feel hungry after taking the pill at night. before i had really bad acne so i used proactive (which worked good for me) and so far the pill has not made me break out. so far i&#039;m loving it and hope it stays this way! definitely recommend but everyones body is different."
