"i started generess fe october 30th, 2012. for the first 4-5 months i had irregular spotting, sometimes that went on for 6-7 days! i gained 14 pounds in 5 months with no diet change. the good thing about it is that since april i have not bled..at all. not one drop. i no longer experience pms or periods so that is really nice. i am thinking about coming off to see if i lose the weight i gained and if i do i want a different pill. i use this pill to prevent pregnancy, no other conditions."
