"the first 4 or so months on this pill were atrocious. like everyone says...bleeding/cramping/spotting that did not stop for longer than a few days here and there...but i didn&#039;t get any other side effects which is the only reason i stuck with it. things finally evened out about 5 or 6 months and i&#039;ll either get a normal period or nothing at all. the only possible side effect now is it seems i get night sweats around the time i would be pmsing but i got those before this pill. so that could just be me. i also have fibroids and had zero hope for this working for heavy bleeding since mirena and lysteda both failed me. i&#039;m happy for now, hopefully it doesn&#039;t turn against me!"
