"i&#039;m 18 and i&#039;ve been on this pill for 1 year now and at first it was for my irregular periods. it was the first birth control my doctor put me on. in the first week i noticed my breasts were sore but it lasted 1 day and i havent had it since. my periods were 12 days long and heavy. now my periods are 5 days and i hardly notice my cramps. i&#039;m not moody unless i&#039;m pmsing..i&#039;ve never had any negative side affects.. i would reccomend this pill to young people who dont have insurance or their first time on a birth control...and! i have not gotten pregnant."
