"i went on this medication when i was 19 and i am 24 now. when i was 19 i was diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis. i now take continuous birth control pills (never going off the active ones). my insurance covers me to get 2 packets a month. being on only active pills, i usually have spotting once or twice a year due to missing a pill or taking it more than 12 hours late. 

side effects: big breasts and weight gain. i used to be a size b, now i&#039;m a d/dd awesome! i have put on 20 pounds over the years but that could be caused by my diet/age."
