While on the pill, Tri-Sprintec was amazing. I experienced zero side effects, prevented pregnancy, and had completely predictable periods.

Coming off contraception
I stopped taking Tri-Sprintec in April 2023. It took 3 months for my period to return, but ever since my cycle has been WAY out of whack. Some cycles are 15 days, some are 50 days. I am only ovulating every other or third cycle. I have been spotting throughout my cycle because of hormone imbalance. Currently not trying to conceive, but wanting to in the next few months. I am frustrated it has taken this long for my normal cycle to return and hormones to balance.

My moods increased, I lost 50 lbs, and my acne got better. I was using Aviane before this and I was ovulating on it. Since switching to Vienva I have not had any issues.
Very positive mood

Had nausea the first week of both months 1 and 2. Only side effect was significant breast and butt enlargement, which led me to stop taking it.

I actually didn't really have any "normal" side effects with this pill, I felt like I was mostly normal. But I did notice that my hair was gradually thinning, and it felt like it triggered some form of chronic hair loss for me. Interestingly enough, while it wasn't a huge issue, I noticed that I had "stinky" periods? I stopped having them after I stopped the pill.

Being on this actually helps me to get fewer menstrual migraines. I don’t seem to have had any truly bad side effects over the years I’ve been taking it.

I got major mood swings when skipping the placebo week, which is why I stopped.
