"this pill is making me miserable. since starting the pill three months ago, i have had mood swings, cramping and periods that last between 10-14 days. i have never had a problem with my menstrual cycle until starting this pill. the real reason you won&#039;t get pregnant on this pill is because you are always on your period! my pre-menstrual symptoms are also worse than ever. i am bloated three weeks out of every month, have terrible cramps and almost no sex drive. i would not recommend this pill to anyone."
