"i was on apri and they said the name changed to mirvala and there was no changes to the medicine. however, it seems to have completely changed now! i get my period about a week before my pills have run out, even if i take them at the same time every day. i get cramps through-out the month and a lot of spotting. when i do have my period it is extremely heavy and painful. it&#039;s stopping pregnancy, but that&#039;s about all that it&#039;s doing for me now."
