Re: Switching from Ortho-Cyclen to Sprintec

After reading the comment from the woman who mentioned that after
switching from Ortho-Cyclen to Sprintec, she now had cramps and
breakthrough bleeding, I am also starting to wonder if Sprintec is not
as good as Ortho-Cyclen because I am having this exact same problem. I
am wondering how common this is. I am going to the doctor this week but
perhaps I have already found my answer. Is anyone else having this
problem as well?
