Birth Control
"This is my first time on birth control so I&#039;m not comparing it to another brand. I started taking this to help with my extremely heavy and painful periods.



Pros: periods are 3 or less days + are extremely light, I no longer experience horrible cramps, just very minor aches. I haven&#039;t gotten pregnant. only 4 placebo pills compared to 7, my skin cleared up.



Cons: My transition period was rough - I spotted 20/30 days the first two months. I had extreme nausea the first month that killed my appetite. I still have occasional nausea, particularly at night, but I no longer spot. Only side effects I&#039;ve noticed. 



It took care of my main problem though - heavy painful periods, so it&#039;s been worth it I will stick to it."
