birth control
"I used to have INTENSE menstrual pains. I started taking sprintec in 2012 so I've been on it for almost 5 years. I did not have an adverse reaction to it. The menstrual pains are almost completely gone. I notice when I do not get much exercise that month I have minor cramps. My periods (usually spotting or light period) start on Wednesday and usually is gone by Saturday. I've downgraded to panty-liners. I always try to take my pills at 10:30 every night. Occasionally, I would be an hour or two late and after I got into the habit of taking the pill everyday I stopped taking the white sugar pills. Acne actually cleared up, no weight gain, or depression."
