"i would definitely recommend this pill to anyone! i used to have terrible cramps &amp; heavy period, but since i&#039;ve been on minastrin i spot for 2 days at the most &amp; really don&#039;t even need more than a panty liner, also barely any cramping. take the pill as the directions say &amp; if it makes you sick, take with food!!! in the beginning i was literally throwing up every night i was so sick but then i discovered that if i take the pill with dinner i have no side effects. other types of birth control used to make me super moody &amp; lose my hair but i&#039;ve had no issues with this one! although it is expensive because it is brand name, to me it&#039;s worth it. you can find discounts online that help if your insurance doesn&#039;t cover it"
