"i have been on apri since december 2008 when my daughter was 6 weeks old.  at 1st i loved this pill.  my periods came on time, weren&#039;t painful at all, really light and lasted 2-3 days.  in the last year or so, my period has become very heavy, lasting 4-5 days with cramping for at least 4 days. i am miserable! after i had my daughter i had lost 50 lbs, but i have gained that and probably plus some back. i have no sex drive what so ever, which is affecting my relationship with my almost husband (in 5 weeks!) i go to my doctor next week to see about switching to a non hormonal iud.  i have seen successful stories with apri, but i don&#039;t think this pill is for everyone."
