Comment:
I recently switched off of this birth control because I was getting my period twice a month for 6 straight months. I've always had very regular periods, so this was pretty unusual for me. I've recently started taking a new birth control and my period is back to normal

Comment:
This is a good birth control option. No bad side effects for me. It has also cleared my skin up and caused my periods to be much less painful. I just wish you didn't have to take it at the same time every day.

Please stay away from this pill, this pill caused me Pulmonary Embolism (blood clots in my lungs) thank god I was diagnosed on time, if not I could have died. And my doctor's told me this was caused by this birth control pill. Please don't use it.
