"i got this birth control almost a year ago. in the beginning my periods remained the same. for about 2 months i bled every other week. it was hardly bleeding. more like spotting. now for the past couple moths i&#039;ve been skipping periods. overall the bleeding is irregular. but it&#039;s a small price to pay for the luxury of this birth control. i don&#039;t have to remember to take pills. i have not had any weight gain. no hair loss. i have not gotten pregnant. my sex drive is the same. my moods are the same. i have not had any negative side effects besides irregular bleeding. this is the first and only birth control i have ever taken and so far it&#039;s been working just fine."
