"i just started taking this bc 3 weeks ago. (first time being on birth control) my period came a week ago and i&#039;m still spotting. my cycle usually lasts for 5-6 days and it has always been irregular. but i&#039;m not liking that my cycle length has increased. other than that i&#039;ve only had minor headaches compared to my usually intense headaches so that&#039;s a plus. and i get nausea once in a while, no vomiting though. i&#039;ve decided to wait 2 more months to see if my symptoms or side effects change for the better.."
