Mine are Sprintec, which has norgestimate. And before that I was on Tri-Sprintec so...(generic versions of OrthoCyclen and Orthotricyclen). I've really enjoyed them. No weight gain, no side effects. A little bit clearer skin but not much, and lighter periods. But unfortunately with the Sprintec...my level is still 42-49. (And I tried Yaz with HORRIBLE side effects so that's out).
I just really want to give spiro a try. I have an appointment with my endo to talk about "Alternatives" I'm not sure what that means. I think she wants to switch my BC which I would be soooo pissed at. She doesn't understand that after being on BCP for 3 years...I am NOW sprouting hairs out of my chin, neck and chest...and that's just on top of my moustache, back, cheeks which started at puberty.
If she says no to spiro I think I might cry. I just want to feel like a female for once...I've always felt like this weird In-Between Creature... |
