I am 28 and have tried many types of BC. Ortho tri (lost weight but made me break out like crazy) Nova777 (made me feel wierd and moody) Ortho Evra Patch (loved it but after being on it awhile I started to have skin problems and was very moody) and now the quasense.

I also have had a lot of spotting since I have been on Quasense. I had my period the week before I started the drug, then two and half weeks into it, I got my period again and have had my period for 9 days straight. I experienced spotting when I first started Seasonale, but never like this. I am switching back.

The first month on this medicine I was fine, but since then I have had my period for two months. I have switched pills but have experienced mood changes, acne, 2 month period, and would NOT recommend this product.

The pill is the only form of birth control I use with my monogamous partner. It works great for preventing pregnancy. However, I have few of the side effects. ie. stomach cramping, some bloating, and mood changes.
