"i freaking love minastrin 24 fe!  i was on loestrin before, and when the generic came out, was happy to save money, but even better than that, now it&#039;s free with my insurance!  plus, i&#039;ve been on this for, i don&#039;t know, 8-10 years, and don&#039;t have periods.  at all.  it&#039;s awesome!  no periods, no cramping, no hormonal issues.  yes, i have women ask how can i tell if i&#039;m pregnant, but i just don&#039;t worry about it.  i use the pill and my husband uses a condom, and honestly, i had more worries about pregnancy before, because if you were a day or two late, it was total meltdown time.  now, it&#039;s just a non-issue in my mind.  there are no negatives to this pill for me."
