"well the 1st time i had it it was great! 3 years without a period!! this time.. well i&#039;ve been on a constant period which is heavy causing me to feel faint and dizzy and gained weight (in which i am loosing finally) i think it&#039;s just shear luck as to whether it actually suits you. i&#039;m having mine out soon and going on the patch. great birth control as you can&#039;t do anything anyway!
