"6 years i&#039;ve been on this pill.
it&#039;s a great pill if you hate having a period every month. but being 22 is a lot different than being 16, and my body just isn&#039;t liking the pill anymore. 
main con&#039;s - heavy bleeding, zero sex drive. 
con&#039;s of taking the pill in the 1st to 3 years - painful sex due to vaginal dryness, slight nausea if took in the morning
con&#039;s at the end &amp; why i&#039;m stopping (4-6 years) - hair loss (just more hairs come out when i would brush it)  more pee breaks, breakthrough bleeding, cramps &amp; spotting when climaxing, &amp; spotting during vigorous workouts. 
pro&#039;s - never got pregnant, stable mood, no breakouts, hair thinner on arms&amp;legs
i never had spotting in between packs( until now) or gained any weight, &amp; i&#039;m pretty sedentary."
