birth control
"First, let me preface this by saying that EVERY woman's body is DIFFERENT. Don't let these comments highly influence if you decide to take or not to take Sprintec.  You yourself have to try it and see if it works for you.  
With that being said, I have been on Sprintec for a little over 5 months.  It works for me.  I really haven't had any side effects.....no weight gain, no acne, no crazy moods. 
I am a Sunday starter and my period usually comes on late Tuesday or early Wednesday during the week of the placebo pill.  The only thing I will say against it is that I haven't experienced the shorter periods.  My period still stays on for about 5 days. Most importantly of all, I haven't gotten pregnant!"
