"this pill has been great! my husband and i married 9 yrs ago and i started taking it just before our wedding. when i&#039;ve wanted to get pregnant i&#039;ve stopped it.....pretty well immediately gotten pregnant and then when the baby is about 6 months old (i breastfeed and it&#039;s not recommended while breastfeeding) i get back on it. had 3 kiddos so all in all i&#039;ve been on this pill for at least 5 years. only cons i&#039;ve experienced are a bit of weight gain/harder to lose weight on it. i&#039;m not talking a huge amount but 5-15 lbs. and it&#039;s really expensive for me to buy the brand name local so i just get my ob to give me a written prescription and i fax it to an online pharmacy and get it there. aside from that it&#039;s great"
