"was on this pill for three years for my polycystic ovarian syndrome. i loved it. no cramps, no weight gain, no acne, no spotting (unless of course i didn&#039;t take it at the same time every day). only thing i noticed was i lost my sex drive. i am somewhat worried too; i wanted to give my body a break so i was off the pill for three months and almost went bald. i&#039;m not sure if my pcos caused it or my body became dependent on the pill and the lack of hormones caused it. so now i&#039;m currently seeing my doctor to resolve this problem and more than likely he will refer me out to a endocrinologist to help regulate my hormones. but remember each person is different and what worked for someone may not work for you and vice versa."
