"so far i really like this pill. i just started my second pack and i haven&#039;t had any side effects besides some breast tenderness, and when i first started taking it (i started the first day of my period) i had some light spotting for about 4 days after my period ended. the only problem i&#039;m having with it right now is that i got my period, but it isn&#039;t any shorter or lighter than usual and i&#039;m getting mild cramps. it&#039;s kind of a bummer. i know my body is still getting used to the pill since it&#039;s only my second month, but i was hoping that it would kick in right away. but overall, it&#039;s a great pill and i feel completely normal on it."
