"i was on a hormonal birth control pill for many years.  i could set a clock by my periods... start on a tuesday, off by saturday.  it was great.  i turned 35 and my doc would no longer prescribe the hormonal pill.  so, enter jolivette.  the first two weeks, my nipples were so sore and i was so bloated that i thought i might be pregnant.  then, my period started 1 week early and lasted for 9 days!  a very heavy 9 days as well.  1 week later, heavy bleeding again.  i don&#039;t think jolivette and i are going to be friends."
