"i started sprintec in february of 2016. it  was the first time i had taken any birth control. let me tell you, those first 2 months were absolutely hell. i had the worst migraines, mood swings and depression. i was a hot mess. my period went from 3 days to 4 and i was miserable, after my 2nd pill pack and i started on my 3rd it got a lot better. i no longer had the mood swings, or the depression, nor did i bloat as bad as i did prior to bc. i continued to take it and it did clear up my acne. i only gained 4 pounds which went to my boobs and butt. a year later and now i barely have cramps and my period is super light, even with being a day longer. definitely stick with it and try it out. i have no regrets!"
