Menstrual Disorders
"Age 15 before pill, now 21. Pill was originally called Gianvi. Before starting, periods were painful and heavy. I was unable to wear tampons, and had to change pads almost every hour. I had moderate acne, the type that never &quot;turned white&quot;. Large cyst-like zits on my forehead. Back was broken out.
This pill completely cleared my skin, and made periods manageable. Instead of bleeding for an entire week, I would bleed for a few days, and not as heavily. I got my period at the same time every month. Unfortunately, I did loose 2 cup sizes.
I began a relationship with my boyfriend shortly after starting the pill and have never gotten pregnant.
Recently stopped the pill to try the patch, because I am forgetful. Big mistake."
