"i started taking this pill in january for my heavy menstrual flow and blood clots, the dr prescribed ortho tri-cyclen which were the first pills i started taking back in 2006 when the dr first put me on them ok so fast forward i go to take prescription to pharmacy and they tell me its not covered under my insurance, so here comes junel fe 1/20 i got pills and dr told me to start taking them the first day i get my period in which i did like a week later. i read the side effects and got kinda worried wasn&#039;t sure if i wanted to take them but did. here i am a month later and now on my second pack. my period this month february was not heavy nor did it last more than 5 days. so far no side effects what so ever thank god!!"
