"overall i feel that this birth control does a great job. i&#039;ve been taking it for 3 years to regulate my period and prevent pregnancy with out any problems. i&#039;ve never experienced any of the sides effects, or at most they were on such a small scale that i didn&#039;t notice them. the only thing i dislike is that i don&#039;t usually start my period until 3-4 sugar pills in. i don&#039;t know how common this is with other women, but that has been the case for me since i began taking it."
