"i got this back in june of 2016, so i&#039;ve had it for about 10 months now, and love it. it&#039;s different for everyone, but i&#039;ve had a great experience. i do have spotting on it, but nothing that the pill doesn&#039;t fix. i couldn&#039;t just be on the pill (i&#039;m extremely forgetful), so having this as birth control and the pill to control the symptoms works for me. no bc is perfect, so i just chose one that was effective, easy, and that i could control the symptoms for! also, it was completely covered by my insurance!"
