I recently switched from Sprintec to Previfem because of the recall and I cannot express how much I dislike Previfem. Not only did it make it bloated, it caused major weight gain. It increased my appetite and decreased my sex drive. I am switching to a new birth control as soon as I can.

Everything has been great, especially no headaches! The only complaint i have is that my boobs have grown even more and they are super tender most of the time. im hoping this goes away soon.

I have had no problems whatsoever. I've never been one to have problems with BC pills anyway. All this talk about mood swings and decreased sex drive...blah blah blah I don't believe BC has anything to do with that. The only problem (and not even a problem) I've missed my period or it is very light to non existant! And that to me is a blessing. I've always taken BC's that have stopped or lightened ...

I've always taken BC's that have stopped or lightened my period anyway. For the further talk of weight gain/weight loss I believe you control all those things. If you feel you gaining weight back away from the table or learn to eat better and excersize. And that's my two cents!

I was switched to Previfem from Sprintec and I noticed that my breasts are more tender and I have a lot more spotting between periods. Sex also seems to be more painful. I didn't experience any of this with Sprintec. I'm glad to be going off BC all together soon.

I am very dry during sex- but the only thing I have to compare it to is not being on any bc- so it might be the same with other brands- its not worth it to mess with a good thing so lots of lube it is!
