"i had a terrible experience with this bc. once i started taking it, i was very nauseous daily for a week. once i got my period, it was so painful and so heavy, i couldn&#039;t even do anything. i would also get a full blown period twice in one month. my period was never like that before. i stayed on it for 3 months or so trying to let my body get used to it but it was not working out. i started taking this birth control to shrink ovarian cysts. i had two small ones that did go away but i had another bigger one pop up. but everybody is different. i just felt like sharing my experience. i am now taking minastrin 24 fe. so we will see how this works for me...."
