"i&#039;ve been on this for a little over a year (it just came on the market in the summer of 2007), and i have had no problems with it whatsoever.  no breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no periods (unless i missed more than a pill, then i had some light spotting).  i&#039;ve had so many problems with other birth controls, ranging from depo, to the patch, to the ring, to 13 different types of pills, and i finally found one that worked for me!"
