Tri-Sprintec and boobs

I posted about a couple of weeks ago. I am over the fears the people here have put in my head and I am doing fine with tri sprintec. nothing bad. i think my boobs might be a little bigger... not sure. I haven't gained any extra weight and might be loosing some with it but I also had started taking vitamin B complex at the same time. No acne. I feel good :)

tri-sprintec was awesome for me. I took it for 2 months and my boobs went from a 36b to a 36c. I stopped taking Sprintec because I didn't have the money at the time to get a refill and my parents would kill me if they knew I was sexually active *17 years old* and I am currently scheduling an appointment to start taking it again! (: My face also cleared up.

I used Tri-Sprintec for three years for my skin. In those three years I didn't *notice* a change in my body or personality other than the fact that my boobs went up 2 sizes and I gained some weight. However, after I QUIT using this medication, I realized that my mind had not been my own for the three years I took it.

I quit in November 2008, and instantly lost 15 pounds and 2 boob sizes. I also came to the realization that in the three years I was on this medication, I was an emotional wall with no ambition and no sex drive (which sucks when you are (19-21 years old).

Now that I have been off it for almost 6 months, I haven't had a period in nearly 4 (going to the doctor next week) and I cannot focus at all. I literally cannot sit down and focus on a school assignment.

I used to write every day before I started Tri-Sprintec, and while I was on it I sort of lost that ability to express anything through words, so I started doing film in school to show what I couldn't tell. Now that I am no longer on the medicine I realize that it is the medicine that made me unable to write. It really screwed with my mind. I can write again! But I am so upset that I missed out on three years of it, because those were very crucial years.

I feel like I was on pause for three years. Does that make sense? Anyone have anything similar?

I just started taking it a little over a week ago. My doctor seemed really half assed in prescribing it. She prescribed it to me stating that it would regulate my periods, which I haven't had in almost 3 months. I've taking blood tests, urine tests and am not pregnant, so she felt that birth control was the best option to make my period come back. I now know that there were many other options for "making my period come back". I have had a bit of a increased appetite with Tri Sprintec. The first day I took it, I felt like my head was going to explode. I was moody, on the verge of tears and had the biggest head ache ever. That was a little over a week ago. This is my 3rd day with the 2nd set of pills in the pack and I'm feeling really nauseous. My boobs are killing me. I can't afford to gain any weight and honestly, all these bad reviews are scaring the crap out of me.

I am on my second month of the tri-sprintec and I have been freaking out like some of the girls above about thinking i'm pregnant. My boobs are killing me, i'm eating like crazy, my face is dry,I feel so bloated, and just had a little blood in my urine. I stopped taking BC for about 6 mos. before being prescribed to the Tri-sprintec. Before taking the break from BC I was on trinessa for years which was great and also cheap. No side effects there. I never have bad PMS and this is the worst!

I have been on Tri-Sprintec for 7 years. Over this last year I have noticed my body either skips a month for my period, or I have two periods in 1 month. This month I happened to have two periods in one month and a period starting at different times. Spotting has accrued the last week, and last night at 2 am I woke up crying in pain. I am feeling really depressed, and seem to want to be alone as well. I feel cranky, overwhelmed, my head hurts and my overies. My sister was diagnosed with cysts, and I am wondering if I shouldn't be taking this anymore. A couple of times also in the morning I've headed toward the shower and about blacked out, running back to bed. Is this normal? These side effects have started this year and I have been on it for 7 years? My skin seems normal knowing I also have hypothyroidism. Should I take something else, I have been missing a lot of work, and my doctor doesn't really think nothing is wrong other than taking it some nights at different times. My boobs always feel like they are going to fall off, but better yet I also feel I have gained a lot of weight with it. Going from 110 pound to 140 pounds. Should I be taking something different? If I am off the pill, which I have been my cramps are so horrible, like knives jabbing my insides. I have been crying a lot out of no where, when nothing is that bad, other than whooping doctor bills. Stressed out, and probably on the verge of losing my job over not getting the right help from the right doctor. What do I do? lost of appetite, or some months large appetites, weight gain, weight loss, depressed, angry, mood swings, more than one period in 1 month.

I just got off of Ortho Tri-cyclen lo, and it worked really well for me, but we didn't have insurance so we couldn't afford to get it after the 2 sample pacs. I am now on Tri-Sprintec, for 6 days now, and my boobs already feel like they are about to fall off. I mean, they've hurt before, but really. This is ridiculous. I guess it's worth it, but I don't know. I feel really nauseated lately. I guess it's because this is a new form of Birth Control, but yeah. It really sucks. I am also depressed and not caring now. Besides my boobs wanting to fall off and being tired and depressed, the pill is great. I guess it's something I have to deal with. All birth controls have side effects.

I have not gotten acne, I have gained a little weight, and I haven't gone out in the sun yet to see what it does to my face. But if it gives me sunspots, I quit.

i have been taking Tri-Sprintec for about 3 months now and instantly i felt like i had gained weight however i thought it was my diet since for the last 2 years i had been drinking frappuccinos at starbucks about 3 days a week. I just thought hmm I guess it took 2 years to catch up to me. But now im not so sure, and in fact here is why since I have been gained so much I have been trying to see what I can change and Starbucks was the easiest thing since I really am not eating anything else bad. Since completely removing starbucks AT ALL from my diet I have MIRACULOUSLY not stopped gaining but CONTINUED to gain weight as i take the pill. That is JUST CRAZY, how is that possible!! I am now up to 122lbs. Aside from my pregnancy I have never weighed this much in my life. I should have gained weight 2 years ago when i started going to starbucks but actually i was a size 0-1 at any given time and continued to go to starbucks and never weighed more than 105. The only thing that has changed in the past 3 months is starting on Tri-Sprintec, and removing starbucks from my diet. Just to give you an idea of how much I have gained, I was a size 0, weighed 103 and now I can barely squeeze into my size 4 and weigh 120lbs on my BEST day. I DO NOT recommend this pill.

I posted a question to anyone who used Tri-Sprintec before, but now it's been several months & I'd like to let everyone else know how it's worked for me! Tri-Sprintec has been the best birth control I've ever taken. I have been on other birth controls over the years, and up to this point Yasmin was good but I still had some side effects. I've just started my fourth month on Tri-Sprintec, and I feel more like myself again. I don't have any crazy mood swings, my skin has cleared up, my periods are regular again & my appetite has gone back to normal. I recommend Tri-Sprintec to anyone who is looking for an affordable & reliable birth control (it's offered at the Wal-Mart pharmacy for $9 a month if you don't have insurance.)
