"started this years ago due to a cyst that formed on my ovary. stopped taking it after the cyst got smaller and eventually dissolved. a few yrs later i spoke with my doctor about starting back on birth control.  he put me on another pill for 3 months but i hated it. had mood swings, irregular periods etc. told him about what i was experiencing and he said my  body had to adjust. tried it for 2 more months and still had bad symptoms so i requested to be put back on reclipsen. it has worked really well. my periods are regular and no adverse effects.  i have now been on this consistently for several years."
