"i love this birth control. i switched from lo loestrin fe because i would get two periods on that (one in week 2 of active pills and one during the placebos) and my doctor said i needed to up my estrogen dose. i was so nervous to start this because of various negative reviews, but i&#039;m almost finished with my first pack and i&#039;ve had no horrible side effects at all. the first week there was mild bloating and i&#039;ve had breast tenderness (more than usual) but other than that it&#039;s regulated my bleeding and i&#039;ve gotten no other side effects! give this pill a chance!"
