"this was the first birth control i have ever tried. i was told the first couple of months would be irregular periods. well...my period didn&#039;t stop. so my doctor gave me the low hormone pill as a solution to regulate it and it worked. after that my period was regulated and i have had no pregnancy scares. 2 years later i got a different doctor and he wouldn&#039;t prescribe me the pill as an add on to regulate my period anymore. great when i took the pill as an add on but horrible without it."
