"first off, let me disclaim that while i rated this a ten in effectiveness, that doesn&#039;t mean it was all great. it obliterated my sex drive. a few months into using it, i was completely uninterested in being with my partner. sex was actually painful. i&#039;ve been off it for about three weeks now and i&#039;m back in full swing. 

i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant while using this without a condom, etc. so while it was effective, it was  kind of useless for preventing pregnancy since i never wanted sex while on it anyway.

i went on it initially for period cramps. my periods would last 2-4 weeks at a time and were awful. so painful. this brought them down to 1-1.5 weeks with what i am assuming to be normal cramping. i could function during my cycles on this."
