"this birth control worked really well for the first few months. i had very light periods, no cramps, no acne, no weight gain, and i didn&#039;t get pregnant. this birth control was a miracle for me because i used to have horrible period cramps, and it made them go away completely. but then, about 6 months after taking it, my periods started getting weird. i started getting my period on the active pills instead of the placebo pills. then, i started getting two periods a month. i would bleed a little bit while having sex. it was so strange. i told my doctor and now i&#039;m switching to another pill. this one was good while it lasted."
