"i love it! i&#039;m too forgetful for the pill. i actually all together stopped getting my period. i had a regular period prior to getting it, but due to my daily medication, the side effect was no period. i do still get the mild cramps, aches and pains....but i really can&#039;t complain. downside....i&#039;ve gained 35 pounds. i&#039;ve had it for 3 years in dec. other than that it is wonderful!!!!!!!"
