"i have been on this for about 6 months now and started on it to help with my irregular and heavy periods as well as a contraceptive. let me just say all women&#039;s hormones are different but for me this works. don&#039;t have acne (never really had a problem with it before). i start my pills on a friday and when i finish my active pills have my period on a tuesday/wednesday. it&#039;s prevented pregnancy (i&#039;m only 21 don&#039;t want a baby) and keeps my periods in check i love it!"
