"i&#039;ve taken this pill for about 2 years. my doctor first tried to start me on a pill that was weaker, but it just didn&#039;t work. since i&#039;ve been on this pill, my period comes very regularly, (i start the 7 green pills on friday, it comes on monday morning) my acne is good except on the period week. i haven&#039;t let my boyfriend &quot;let go&quot; in me yet, so i don&#039;t know if it keeps the babies away."
