"I have been on this birth control for 3 months. I started using it because I had horrible PMS and menstrual cycles. The first 2 months were difficult to get through. I had a period every 2 weeks along with all the PMS/menstrual symptoms I was trying to get away from. After finishing up my 3rd month I have not had any bleeding at all.  During the 3rd month I have had mild side effects such as bloating, headache, nausea and increased appetite. I am hoping these side effects will go away the longer I am on the pill. I would much rather deal with the symptoms caused by the pill then deal with the issues I had when I was not on it. Warning, it is very expensive."
