"I have used this birth control for over 4 years. This birth control is AMAZING. 4 periods a year maximum. Sometimes I would only have 3 or 2. Recently though I found out that any birth control with estrogen is a health concern for women who get migraines that have vision issues, it can lead to stroke. My new insurance provider refuses to provide me any birth control with estrogen it. I started to cry when the doctor sprung this on me. I am so sad about not being on this birth control now. The only side effects that I have had is 1. I don&#039;t lubricate well when trying to have sex, so lubricant is a must. 2. Loss of sex drive."
