For Birth Control "I have been on jolivette for almost a year now and love it. I may go 6-8 weeks between bleeding so i take home tests just to rule out pregnancy. So far, so good!"

For Birth Control "I started this while breastfeeding and I continued taking it even after breastfeeding. I was on it for a total of 14 years!! I never got pregnant on it, I had really light periods and I had no bad side effects. I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, it was discontinued around 2021. Now I'm on another one called Errin that is progesterone only and I'm not liking it as much. I'm having a lot more breakthrough bleeding on it even a year later not to mention light headaches here and there. I may end up switching and finding another alternative. I wish they would bring this back!!"
