"i went onto sprintec after my 2nd child as they no longer made my original birth control.  i was on it for over a year.  no terrible side effects, a little weight gain.  near the middle of that year periods started getting heavy and would just start flowing suddenly even though they were still on schedule.  i spoke with my doctor and she recommended trying something different.  i was happy on sprintec for a while but do not want to continue having heavy flows so will be trying something different."
