"i took sprintec for 3 years, it was my first birth control. when i first got on it i had cramping for about a week and then it was fine. my periods came like clock work every month! i gained no weight and it helped stop my breakouts. overall i have no complaints about this pill, until recently... randomly i started bleeding. i had a period for about a month, give or take a few days when it would stop. because of that i have now switched pills because i just need higher estrogen. this pill is great &amp; i would recommend it to anyone!"
