"i took zarah for 3 years, never missed a pill and always took it right at 3pm every day. so it worked great. no weight gain. no painful cramps. a light flow during period week. but i rated this 5/10 because i did end up getting pregnant 3 1/2 years after i started taking zarah. i didn&rsquo;t take any medications around the time i conceived besides my bc zarah. my doctor was shocked when my blood test came back positive. so beware, even the best birth control pills can fail and result in pregnancy. i will say though, it was the best thing that&rsquo;s ever happened to me. i have a beautiful 1 year old to prove it."
