"the very next morning after i started taking this birth control i started very heavy bleeding which was accompanied by big thick clots.  i started it at my 6 week post partum appaointment after seeing dr and every thing was clear and looked good. i had not been bleeding at all. i am exclusively breastfeeding so only reason i decided to take this one.  i have no doubts of its effectiveness of preventing pregnancy, but i have only ever had a baby when trying. i think personally for me the side effects were too much. i was effected by so many of them in such a short time. increased hunger,  non stop bleeding,  sore breasts, breaking out on face,  and i&#039;m 30yo, don&#039;t need that. seen dr again and no problems still, just pill.  i stopped and very next day bleeding stopped"
