"i&#039;ve had this product in my arm for about 5 months now got it just after my son was born. because of some issues with preeclampsia during the pregnancy, my doctor suggested i get on a birth control asap. since i&#039;m not good with remembering pills we decided to try this product and work on some weight loss over 2 year time span so i can be at a healthy weight for my next pregnancy. so it does work and have not had any bleeding which is great that&#039;s why i give it a 2. the other reason i give it a 2 is because i&#039;ve gained 60 pounds in these five months and now working extra hard to lose the weight which was the whole reason why i got on the birth control in the first place."
