"i have been taking this for 3 months. my doctor said i could take it and skip the last row of pills in the 1st 2 packs so that i will only have a period every 3 months. i can tell you that has not been the case. i have been spotting irregularly ever since i started taking it. sometimes it&#039;s for 3-4 day sometimes it seems like it is for 2-3 weeks on and off. sometimes it&#039;s heavier than normal. i am asking to be changed to something else."
