"i&#039;ve been on this pill for about 2 and a half years now. i started taking it when i was 16 and i&#039;m now 19. it&#039;s been my first and only birth control and i was put on it because i had insanely irregular periods. my periods were always super heavy and lasted around 7 days. this made me completely regular, gave me way lighter periods that last at most 5 days, lowered my mood swings and reduced my cramps. i&#039;ve never once experienced any nausea or negative side effects from taking the pill. everyone&#039;s gotta find the right pill for them and this is definitely mine."
