"this is the best oral contraceptive i&#039;ve been on thus far. in the past 7 years i have been on: tri-cyclen lo, alesse for 4 years and diane. this is the first contraceptive where i have felt like myself. no side effects, no breakthrough bleeding as long as i take it the same time everyday and only two day periods. this is such a miracle to the oc industry. i recommend it to every female i know. you can&#039;t go wrong with the lowest side effects on the market. although alesse is a house hold name- it has some of the highest side effects on the market and i never quite felt like myself on it."
