"most of these reviews are terrifying so i wanted to share my experience...

1) one of the biggest differences with tricyclic bc (3 months) from the once a month kind is the likelihood of spotting is much greater. on the first pack i spotted months 2-3. (yep..2 months pretty much). that being said it was so light i could&#039;ve probably used the same panty liner all day &amp; been fine. also, my bf isn&#039;t a child &amp; wasn&#039;t bothered by it. i found it mostly annoying. the second pack i&#039;m still spotting but only for 1 month, also very light. i suspect it will not happen on the next pack. minor nausea was my only other side effect. no libido change, no weight gain, mood change, etc. not perfect, but i love it. it&#039;s going to be different for each person."
