"this birth control is has been officially retired by me  after a little over a month of use. the side effects have been horrendous and the reason i began taking this was a mess up that my physician made because originally i was taking lo loestrin fe (which is a definitely the best for me). so my experience is i that i got a bacterial vaginosis twice because the pill messed with my ph and i had my period almost consistently for the month of taking this pill. i&#039;d get 1-3 day breaks and then be back on a heavy painful period that lasts for a week... i have an appointment with my physicial next week to address what is going on and change to maybe an iud because the pill is such a hit or miss with side effects plus the remembering to take it every day."
