"i&#039;ve been on jolivette for almost 2 months. my doctor prescribed it because my blood is thin and i have uterine fibroids so he wanted a progesterone only birth control to stop my period. so far i&#039;ve have had 2 periods that came at the time they were supposed to. i haven&#039;t experienced spotting. my period is a lot heavier but i&#039;m on iron supplements as well. the goal was for me to take a birth control that would stop me from having a period, but that has not been successful. other than me still having a period i feel fine. i will say every other birth control that i&#039;ve ever tried made me nauseous. this one does not. my face has been breaking out a little more than usual but i&#039;m still trying to figure out whether or not the birth control is the culprit."
