"this was the second bc i have ever taken. it was absolutely terrible. i have always had light periods (panty liner light) and no cramps. when i took this birth control i had such horrible cramps that i kept throwing up. i continued to take it, but after bleeding like a water fall for a week and a half i called my doctor. she told me that i had to finish taking it for a month or else i had the possibility of bleeding to death. so i bled the entire month. i didn&#039;t receive another period until 3 months later. don&#039;t take this birth control"
