"i&#039;m 20 and i&#039;m on my second pack with sprintec. i recently had a baby in january so i needed birth control considering i was still going to be sexually active. doctor told me to try this because i suffered with terrible acne. my face is the clearest it&#039;s ever been! pores are smaller, acne scars are fading and everything. but i&#039;ve recently been feeling nauseous on and off during the day along with diarrhea. i&#039;m going to continue taking it in hopes that these side effects will chill out. along with that, my period came as expected once it was time to take the &quot;reminder pills&quot;. i did have a heavier period that only lasted 5-4 days though. inexpensive and does its job."
