"i have been taking this pill for almost a year, probably by far the worst birth control i&#039;ve ever taken (side effects wise).  this pill makes you bleed and spot all the time. i take it at the exact time every single day and yet somehow my period will start like 2 weeks before i&#039;m supposed to get it and it will last for like a week of just pure spotting. this is verrrrrry annoying and inconvenient for a woman with a boyfriend. you  never know if one day you&#039;re just going to start bleeding or not. periods are just as bad as before i was on the pill, cramps, bloating, and heaviness of bleeding varies. i also have almost a non existent sex drive which sucks. also i have been having stomach issues on and off since i&#039;ve been taking this."
