"i have been on this pill for about 5 months now. i still have a period even though you aren&#039;t supposed to get one with this pill. my periods used to be 3-4 days but now they&#039;re a long 7-8 days. my periods were regular but now they are irregular. but as for birth control, this works pretty well. i take it every day at the same time and have never missed a pill. i do feel nauseated when i take it without a meal. i&#039;ve always had hormonal acne but it has not made it any worse. the only con to this pill is that you feel bloated all the time. i&#039;ve had unprotected sex and protected sex with this pill and have had no babies."
