"i was another mini pill and bled daily so went to the family planning clinic and they put me on this. initially i went through the range of side effects including nausea, pmt etc but that was just for a couple of weeks. i have been on it for 5 months and it&#039;s fine. i still get a period but it&#039;s a lot lighter than it was before as i have a fibroid. i have unprotected sex and no issues so far."
