"everyone&#039;s experience with this seems to be different. my friend had terrible cramps after taking it for about 5-8 months and switched. i&#039;ve been on it for nearly 4 months and my period is pretty much nonexistent as of 2 months ago. i barely have cramps or bleeding. it&#039;s not even really spotting, there&#039;s basically nothing. i have been experiencing a few side effects... i went up two cup sizes, and i&#039;m experiencing more anxiety, but possibly due to the fact that i started it a few months after starting college. it&#039;s great for me so far but it just seems weird that i don&#039;t have a period? i guess it&#039;s okay though. i&#039;d recommend it but then again, everyone is different."
