"i got off the 1.5/30 because i was getting very irregular periods. i&#039;d skip a month, but on that month that i skipped i would have period symptoms so i thought i was pregnant. i would experience little cramps and acne for about 2 weeks. then the next month i would get an actual period for about 3 days. however it was very light. i thought this is very weird and thought my body was out of wack so i went back to the less hormonal birth control. i talked to my doctor and she told me that 1.5/30 is for people who are usually athletes and want no periods, or very little periods and that is why i had basically no periods. i eventually went back to the 1.5/30 because i do very enjoy not buying pads and tampons every month at a ridiculous cost."
