"i am back on this birth control after not being on anything for a few years but my periods were becoming such a nuisance with my busy schedule (9 days of heavy bleeding and clots). due to my migraines with aura i can&#039;t take anything with estrogen in it. i&#039;m not sure if i&#039;m an anomaly or why there are such terrible reviews as i no longer have periods at all. it completely stopped my cycle but i have to make sure to take it at exactly the same time each day. i still feel like myself - without the mood swings or crying. i am slightly more fatigued at night and fall asleep earlier which might be a good thing. my vaginal discharge is thicker. i&#039;ve actually noticed my acne improving and haven&#039;t noticed any weight changes."
