"i&#039;ve had an up and down experience with jolivette. the first week was a bit rough with some dizziness, increase in appetite, and slightly more emotional. however, those initial symptoms disappeared within the first month. what&#039;s been driving me crazy is my period. it came a week after i began the pill (i also was incredibly emotional the day my period came). then i had two weeks off before it came again. and again. and again. three months on jolivette and my periods are becoming longer (7+ days from 4 days) and with only 4 or 5 days in between. and recently my hair has started growing in straight after being solidly curly. i recently went off it and still got my period right on schedule as if i was still on it!"
