"I have been on this birth control for a month today. I was already having heavy bleeding prior to my Dr prescribing this birth control. The next day I started the pill I stopped bleeding for a whole wk then the second week I began to spot. Followed my the third week my period started to be heavy all over again with quarter size blood clots. I contacted my Dr he said that my body is still trying to get used to the pill give it some time. This week again I called the Dr back because the bleeding seems to be getting worst and the cramps are on a level of 20 he said again just keep taking them and as the new month is approaching a change can occur if not contact him again. I sure hope this pill works fast & stop the bleeding."

"Was on it for 3 years. Mostly used to help treat PMS, cramps and headache. While those never really went away just delayed 3 months were less severe, until recently. Lately been having horrible cramps about a week before, and some mild spotting. Did not have my hormone headache and cramps were tolerable with one month bc. Recently talked to OBGYN , she thinks this is my bodies way of telling me should have my period once a month, so back to the one month packs."

"I was on this for the whole 3 months and let me tell you I was an emotional mess. SO NASTY to all my loved ones for no good reason. I'd get mad and cry over the absolute dumbest things. but, this is my body and that is how I reacted to this birth control. I'm moving on to The Patch now, it has some good reviews and we will see how it works out. I gave this atleast 5 stars because I didn't get pregnant lol"

"This medicine was got a 4 because it did protect me from pregnancy and I had little acne while on it. But since I got on it, my sex drive has gone down and then I started having very painful sex! If you are having painful sex and your doctor just keeps saying use more lube then listen to the podcast Bodies about sex hurting what she described matched what I have experienced and it ended up being the birth control that caused her to have painful sex. This BC also caused chronic fatigue for me and I gained 20 lbs. I was on it for 1 1/2 years and sex kept getting more painful for me to the point I had to stop in the middle of it and it would burn when I used the bathroom afterward. This was not caused by STDs or any other infection my gynecologists just kept saying use more lube but that never worked. If you are looking for a BC to stop acne and periods then this is for you, but I wouldn’t recommend it for ppl who want to enjoy sex."

"This has been the worst birth control pill I've ever been on. I've gained around 10lbs just in 3 weeks of taking this medication. I've had a period for 7 days when I should of been off at least 2 days ago. I've been having mood swings and depression!!! Do not take this pill"

"Pros: LOVE not having a period but every 3 months. Have tried several other birth control pills and all of them I had spotting at one point or another. Never had that with this pill, I always take it at around the same time every night and haven't missed a dose in I can't remember when, that might be part of it. Also my period only lasts 4-5 days vs the 10-16 (yes 16 days) I have experienced on other birth controls and before I was on birth control. Does it's job, no pregnancy scares. Cons: I notice my skin is a tad oiler than usual. My back is particularly prone to breakouts. Periods aren't really less painful, I seem to actually cramp worse but then again that might be because I'm so used to not having a period anymore so maybe when I do get them I'm just not "used to" the pain I used to experience on a regular and constant basis. Does seem a bit harder to lose weight, but I think that comes with just about any birth control on the market."

"Only reason I changed pill brands was due to the fact that I moved and my new pharmacy didn't carry it. I will say I had emotional problems and weight gain but I attribute that to other life events and not the pill. I requested extended cycle birth control because after extensive research I found there is no use for a period on birth control every month. It did it's job. I didn't get pregnant and that was even with me taking a medication that can interfere with birth control. (Not advising that, I had no idea it would interfere until a month later). I did spot for awhile but nothing terrible. The worst side effect I will say was when I did have a period I had some of the worst cramps I have ever had in my life. Then again, I am on other medications (some new at the time) that could have made it worse. But, never the less my cramps were the worst they had ever been, but the bleeding wasn't bad at all. I would recommend this to anybody who hates bleeding EVERY SINGLE MONTH."

"I have been on this for 6 months. The first 3 months I was bleeding heavily and had very painful cramps (also, I had a cyst on my ovary that had ruptured). I absolutely hated it but my Dr. "assured" me that it will take 3-4 months for my body to get used to the birth control and I took her word for it. My next set was amazing! I didn't bleed until my sugar pills but that leads me off to today. I was supposed to be off Thursday and it's Sunday. I am still bleeding heavy and I definitely do not want to bleed again for 3 months. Terrible experience, read reviews before getting on any birth control!"

"I was originally in love with this prescription birth control. I had terrible periods and ovarian cysts. My doctor suggested I have a pill that allows my period to only occur every 3 months, which I loved. It was until recently that I noticed that over the last 6 months, I've gained 20 lbs!!! Going into spring 20 lbs heavier is crazy. I also experienced abdominal pain and menstration pain. I love the space between periods and but I don't love the weight. I will be switching back."

"I used this birth control for 2 years and it was awesome. I had a little break through bleeding a couple of times but other than that I loved it."

"I have been on this pill for about a year now and I love it! Although I notice I gained a little weight, I still enjoy 8 months out of the year with no period and I love it!"

"If I missed my dosing time by an hour I spotted. Miss a day? Full blown period. It prevents pregnancy because you are always bleeding. No thank you"
