"i absolutely hate this birth control. i have only been taking it for one week and already i&#039;m experiencing bleeding. i have taken the pill at the same time every day (i have my alarm set) so i&#039;m not sure of why i&#039;m already bleeding. i&#039;m not cramping so i suspect that this is what is referrred to as breakthrough bleeding. i don&#039;t know for how long i will bleed as i&#039;ve already had my monthly cycle for this month prior to starting the pill. i have yet to experience any other symptoms related to the pill that i know of but i will definitely switch to another pill as soon as possible. some may be totally unphased with irregular bleeding but i&#039;m not."
