"i&#039;ve been taking this medication for about a year and a half now. i began taking it because other birth controls made me moody and the obvious fact that i&#039;m not ready to be pregnant yet. this medication definitely makes you nauseous. i feel nauseous nearly every day. i haven&#039;t had a period since the first two months that i started the pill. normally i wouldn&#039;t complain about a lack of periods, but other side effects i&#039;ve had include frequent (i&#039;m talking back to back to back) yeast infections and (tmi) vaginal dryness. intercourse can be very painful. i&#039;m switching off of this medication as i have tried everything to no avail. being on birth control seems pointless if i can&#039;t even have sex."
