"i have 2 uterine fibroids and my periods are really heavy. i was put on this to manage the heavy bleeding. i have been using this for a year. the spotting has been horrible!  over a month straight of spotting. i always spot one to two months before i am supposes to have a cycle. my dr. says to stay with it and it will stop...and a year later..... still spotting. not to mention the weight gain! i have gained 15 pounds within the last year!! i hate it. i will be switching to try a different one."
