"I have been on this birth control for about 6 months. I switched from Lo Loestrin because that birth control gave me my period continuously. Since being on this birth control I have had absolutely no side effects. I get my period for about 5-7 days, moderately heavy then progressively gets lighter. I had moderate cramps for 2-3 days during my period, but I would get cramps without birth control too. I take it at exactly the same time (9pm) everyday and get my period every month at the same time (during my inactive pills). No weight gain, headaches, moodiness or anything. This birth control has worked well for me, although everyone is different."
