"this is my third type of birth control pill over the last 4 years. i&#039;ve gone on and off birth control, mostly because i&#039;m not sexually active very much unless i have a boyfriend. currently i&#039;m on my 5th packet.
pros:
cheap! $9 at wal-mart
no taste
easy to swallow. 
periods reduced to 4-5 days when they were lasting 7-8 days before.
cons:
bad nausea and headaches on the first 3 packets.
slight breast tenderness upon resuming a new packet. usually only lasts for a couple days.
delayed periods. on my old birth control i would get them the next day after stopping a packet but now it takes 3-4 days for it to start.
painful cramps for the first day of period.

overall, i&#039;d recommend it. all types of birth control will give you some of these side effects."
