"first of all girls, don&#039;t worry about not getting a period while on birth control pills. it&#039;s only breakthrough bleeding, not an actual real period at all. i may spot for a day every couple of months on this pill, so my boyfriend definitely likes this.  i&#039;ve taken it for about a year and a half. only complaint i have is that it costs more than generic, but otherwise i am very happy with it.  on the 4 days a month i don&#039;t take it, i may have some mild constipation and moodiness but that&#039;s it (and that&#039;s from not taking the pill those days)."
