"i&#039;ve been on this for almost a year and i really like it.  my old pills (tried ortho tri, nuvaring, etc. for around 5-10 yrs) lowered my sex drive and gave me other weird side effects.  for the first few months i had some of the basic side effects, but now they&#039;re mostly gone except i never get periods anymore.  i asked my doctor if that&#039;s normal, and she said it was fine."
