"this is the very first birth control i ever used. the first few days i was overcome anxiety but that subsided. the first month i did have nausea and heartburn but that also subsided.  two weeks after i began the pill i started my period which lasted off and on for about 3 weeks (which is normal, just annoying).  i switched birth controls with my dr. because this was not stopping my period at all (i wouldn&#039;t take the break pills either).  i continued to get my period at random times which is not my goal with birth control.  it was not a horrible experience however, everyone&#039;s body responds differently."
