"i have been on this pill twice now. the first time i was in it i used it for 6 months and my doctor decided to take me off of it for some time because i began having breakthrough bleeding and periods as long as if not longer than before i was on the pill and just as painful. after some time on anther pill my doctor reccomended that i go back on it and see how things went the second time around. i have been on it for 6 more months and nothing has changed since the last time. the first few periods were fine and like normal without the pill but again i began to bleed randomly and the pain became worse as well as my normal periods lengthening and becoming heavier."
