"The only reason I am prescribed them is to stop my period for several months (I skip the inactive pills and start a new pack). The first month was okay but into week 3 of my second month I started having heavy  &quot;spotting&quot;, enough to need a tampon. Two weeks later I called my Dr to inform them that I had been bleeding for two weeks straight and ask what was going on. They insist that my body is just getting used to the hormones and to keep taking them. It has now been over a month, I&#039;m almost done with my third pack and the bleeding/spotting every day is STILL an issue.  On the rare moments when it&#039;s light enough for sex, forget about it. I have no desire and dry as the desert. I&#039;m also extremely tired and have had random breakouts."
