"i have been taking these pills for 6 months now and am completely at my wits end; i don&#039;t notice any weight gain, though my boobs have grown slightly. however.. the abnormal bleeding is driving me crazy! i am grateful that is the only main side effect but it&#039;s a total curse. i am bleeding at least 15-20 days during the month and it&#039;s just enough so that i&#039;m always wearing a panty liner. goes without saying, my boyfriend and i are pretty unhappy with our sex life. i obsessively take the pill every single day at the same time and have never skipped a pill- i still find myself bleeding every other week. i am stopping these pills and plan on talking to my doc about my other options; if there are no other options we might stick to condoms only."
