"i was on this birth control for over 4 years. i had to stop in october because i changed health insurance so i decided to let my body have a little rest before going on a new one. it has been 6 months and i have not gotten a period since stopping the birth control. before i went on it i had regular monthly cycles, but this birth control messed everything up. also, about 3 years into taking the pills i started to develop scarring cystic acne that hasn&#039;t gone away even after stopping. this birth control clearly did something to my hormones that i am hoping could be reversed. the only reason why i am giving it any stars is because while i was on it i didn&#039;t have any side effects and periods were super light (when i got them)"
