"i started taking this pill over a year and a half ago for birth control. i&#039;ve always had somewhat irregular periods. the first couple of months were awful. i had my period every two weeks. i called my ob to get a prescription of provera to stop the bleeding . after a few months the bleeding stopped and i stopped getting my period! i&#039;ve only had it twice in the last year and a half, and only when  i messed up taking my pills on time. they were very light and short, compared to long and heavy before i started taking the pills. its been great not having a period!  i haven&#039;t had any other side effects, except recently my blood pressures been a bit on the high side, but i am also under a lot of stress, so i don&#039;t know if its from the pills."
