"i love taking this pill. set an alarm (or two) on my phone and i almost always can remember to take it. i&#039;ve tried the nuva ring and the shot and both did not work well. nuva ring gave my panic attacks and the shot gave me a nonstop period for three months. this pill was perfect, lighten and shorten my period each month. i&#039;ve been taking it for a year with no side effects. it&#039;s a little costly but it&#039;s worth it for me."
