This pill helps with keeping my period light and regulated, and it brought back my sex drive that I lost with byaz. The only cons are that I get really bad acne for 4 days around my period, and it made me weirdly gain 5 lbs in barely two months even though I eat like a bird. Other than that, it is what it is,

DO NOT USE. This medicine is aweful. I have only taken this for a month but i cannot take it anymore. I have been bleeding off and on for the past week when im not even supposed to be on my period. I usualy have very clear skin and have been breaking out, had dark patches along with acne, and very dry patches on my skin. I will be switching.

I was to take the monophasic for three months, then have a period. I had break-through bleeding all throughout the entire cycle of active pills. After I'd been on this b/c pill for several years, I began having migraines every day/every other day and had to switch to a higher dose of norethindrone.

This pill is easy to take as it's chewable..if someone can't chew a little dinky pill. Don't think you can miss this and not get break thru bleeding because forget it in fact don't be hours late or break thu can happen..for days. Also I'm not sure how many generics there are but I double my packs to skip a period and it's odd on the exact day I finished the first pack I started to bleed ..weird . And on vacation which really stinks. I think its a super light dose

My period was very abnormal with this pill. One month I would have light flow the next month I didn't get my period at all. I also experience migraines while on this pill.

Although it has done it's job in keeping me not pregnant the pharmacy gave this to me as a Femcon Fe Subsistute and it has made me very ill at the start of each pack. Also after being on it for more than 6 months I am still having trouble with inconsistent periods; specifically period starting at the start of the third week and continuing for 2 weeks. Since I got on this to regulate my period it is very frustrating.
