"this was the first birth control i have ever taken but i was on it for about 5 years. i had no complaints the entire time, normal period, my weight remained the same, no drastic or bad side effects. all of a sudden i got a random period 2 weeks after i had just had one. this period lasted about 2 weeks and was extremely heavy where i was bleeding through anything within 2 hours or less! i thought maybe it was because i missed a dosage but i had tests done for other things and i was completely fine but the bleeding would not stop until finally i discontinued using the pill and the bleeding stopped.  it was really weird but for the 5 years i was on this pill i really had no complaints whatsoever."
