"I have been taking Sprintec for about 2 years now and its been working pretty well for me. My period has been coming on time on the same day every month. It's like clock work! My only concern is that I've gained about 5 to 10lbs since I've been taking them. However, I'm not sure if it is a direct effect from Sprintec. I eat fairly well, but I don't work out as much. Before I got on the pill, I didn't work out and I used to eat fatty foods late at night and still maintain my abs and great figure. Now, I have to incorporate exercise and healthy eating habits to stay in shape. Other than the mysterious weight gain, Sprintec has done well for me."
