"i&#039;ve been taking this birth control pill since june, it is now january. i had pretty bad migraines the first month but decided to stick with it. the migraines went away after the first month. my periods before taking this pill lasted 9 days! it was hell. this pill has now reduced my period to only 4-5 days, which is awesome! i&#039;m so happy about that. however, i have a lot of spotting with this pill and it drives me insane."
