"i took this pill for 8 months and had zero side effects except no period. i stopped taking birth control for 4 months then started again with same pill. have been taking for 4 months now. first two months i broke out a little and didn&#039;t get my period. third month had very little spotting for 4 days, and i&#039;m about to end the fourth pack. i&#039;ve had very minor side effects. i personally enjoy not having a period to worry about every month, instead just light spotting every 2-3 months. i haven&#039;t broken out since the 2nd month, i guess my body was getting used to the birth control."
