Comparing Sprintec vs Tri-Sprintec

For Birth Control Pros: get rid of heavy cramps , lightens your flow , and make your breast a little bigger Cons: Every months it seems like I have new symptoms the first month nausea and a loss of appetite , the second I had really bad acne and a huge black spot on my face ( I’m assuming this is from the pill I always had great skin ) , and this month I’m extremely sensitive I cried for awhile this month without any real reason for me being sad.

For Birth Control I haven’t been on this medication for a long time but so far it’s been fairly ok! I made a pro and con list of symptoms. Pros: •no babies •larger but not painful breasts •improved overall mood. (I was always very irritable and snappy but this mellowed me out) •lost a little weight. (Could be from lack of appetite) Cons: •dull headache for a few days in a row after 2nd pill •acne slightly became worse (should clear up) •Decreasing appetite extremely (not exactly a con for me but for some maybe) •I got a mild yeast infection that was mixed with a small small amount of breakthrough bleeding. I’ll come back once I’ve been on it longer but overall I like it.

For Birth Control I had a baby girl 6 months ago and I started this about 2 months ago and at first was doing great with it, but then after about 2 weeks of taking it have really noticed some not so great changes in me. My chin is constantly breaking out, so it did not help clear up the acne. I have really had some bad mood swings of just feeling really sad and my anxiety has been pretty bad. It has really messed with my sleeping patterns. I also gained about 16 lbs from the time I started taking this pill until now. I wear contacts and it really seems to dry my eyes out and make my vision a little blurry, which I haven't really had much trouble with before. I am seeing my doctor soon and we are planning on switching me to another birth control pill.

For Birth Control I've been on it for three years and no pregnancy scares. No weight gain, nothing. My only complaint is my sex drive is nonexistant .
