"i have taken this birth control for several years now and i&#039;ve never been happier. i do not get my period while i am on this pill, like at all. not even a spot. i thought that was something to be worried about so i spoke to my gyno, and he assured me that it&#039;s normal for some women to not get their period at all while on lo lo. i didn&#039;t gain weight, i didn&#039;t get acne, and i didn&#039;t have emotional issues. the only side effect i&#039;ve experienced is once a month my libido increases like anything for 2 days!!  that&#039;s it."
