"i have spent nearly 5 years on this birth control, taking it continuously, to help keep my endometriosis under control.  i have been on many different pills over the years, including very high doses of estrogen.  they would work for the first year, then i would get constant breakthrough bleeding.  i&#039;ve always had issues with acne, but this pill didn&#039;t make it any better or worse.  i have occasionally suffered from random cramps, usually due to shifting the time i took my pills during the time changes of the year.  i am vigilant about taking it the same time every day, have never had a pregnancy scare, and was hoping to continue with it indefinitely, however, my insurance provider had other plans.  i am hoping to go back on it again asap."
