"i have been on this birth control for one cycle. after reading some of the reviews on this type and similar birth controls i was a bit apprehensive to start. im giving this birth control a 9 out of 10 as i have not been on it long enough for a 10. so far i love this birth control! my side effects have been so minimal its like im not even on birth control! i have experienced mild headaches here and there and some nausea but other than that ive been feeling great! i got my period on cue on the third day of the inactive pills and i had no idea it was coming because i had zero pms! my period was very light and i barely had any cramping! i had unprotected sex the first month and obviously didn&#039;t get pregnant so i&#039;m very pleased! highly recommend"
