Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been taking it on and off (mostly on) for 4 years. It&#039;s worked like a charm. Even without the pill I&#039;ve always had a fairly regular cycle and my cramps have been manageable with Aleve. With Levora, my period is the same length but it&#039;s lighter, and the cramps are lighter. I almost always start the same evening and the period lasts 3 days, with 1-2 more days spotting. My only complaint- each time I&#039;ve gone on and off the pill, I&#039;ve gained a couple pounds. I haven&#039;t had issues with mood swings or anything. But, I know it isn&#039;t 100% effective especially if you vomit/have bad diarrhea within some time of taking the pill, which worried me when I lived in the developing world and got food poisoning a lot."
