"after using various generic lo ovral like birth control pills my dr advised that i  try this and reportedly has a lower dose of hormones than others. i agreed. in the 10 years i&#039;ve used birth control pills these have been the worst i&#039;ve had. stomach pain. water retention. breakthrough bleeding (after 10 years, seriously?), brown discharge and crying spells. i have to change these out asap. don&#039;t get."
