Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I have been on Tri-Sprintec for 8 years now (I'm 24 years old) to help regulate my irregular hormone levels due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  I have not had any side effects of the pill...well, maybe some mood swings, but nothing that wouldn't be caused by that time of the month already!  I have gained a considerable amount of weight since I have been on this particular birth control (approximately 50 pounds), but that is the only real issue.  I have been regular for the past 8 years, down to the exact day and almost time of the day so there are no surprises.  Everyone's body reacts differently to medications, I'm pleased that this birth control did the job for me!"
