"i have been taking this for over 3 months. i have very light periods that only last a few days (which i love). i started taking this because i got back onto the nuva ring after 3 years of using no method besides condoms. although taken the ring in the past and loved it, it didn&#039;t work for my body this time and i ended up having an increased amount of breakthrough bleeding. so i asked my doctor for a low hormone bcp. i was skeptical at first because of my past experiences with the pill but i love it. my breasts and stomach feel sore and tender for most of the month, and sometimes i feel more tired than usual, but i love this pill and hope it works for you too!"
