"i&#039;m five and a half months in and i wish i could say my period stopped like everyone else&#039;s seems to have. i&#039;ll go a month without a period and then the next month i have about 3 periods. one week on, one week off. other than that, the only side of effects i can report are the mood swings. it makes me actually insane sometimes. i go through huge hormone shifts and i feel like i bloat more. the convenience of the drug makes it absolutely worth it though. i&#039;m just hoping my body just needs more time to adjust."
