"i am 24 years old and have been on this pill for about a year and a half. i rarely have periods, my last one was about 6 months ago, and when i do have a period it is super light and only lasts about 3 days. i haven&#039;t experienced any cramping, mood swings, intermittent bleeding, etc. while on the pill. the biggest downside is definitely the effect on my sex drive--it is nonexistent since switching to this pill."
