"i&#039;ve been on this same pill for about 5 years now and i would recommend it to every girl i knew if i could. at first i thought it was a little strange that i didn&#039;t get my period but i talked to my doctor and she assured me that not getting a period was normal as long as i took my pills correctly. not having a period is fantastic and one less thing to worry about every month in my opinion. every once in a while i&#039;ll experience some light cramps right before i finish a pack (around the time i should have my period), but other than that i love this pill! i also have not experienced any weight gain or headaches! :-)"
