"i love this pill.  i have been on many many different pills.. all which never controlled my period. i would get it every two weeks or 3 weeks and for 7 days at a time.  my doctor started me on over 2 years ago.  no side effects at all.  at first i was a little freaked out because i didn&#039;t getting my period every month. i talked to my doctor and she told me that it was fine as long as i spotted every 3 months and that is what ended up happening.  no cramps nothing it was wonderful. also my boyfriend and i are very sexually active and this is the only form of birth control we use. sadly my insurance changed and it was costing me 100 bucks a month to fill this so i just changed to a different pill."
