"my gyn prescribed this pill to help with my heavy periods. i hate it! i&#039;ve been on it for almost 2 months, i take it at the exact same time everyday, and have never missed a dose. i have had the worse mood swings and have been bleeding for a whole month. i experienced what i would call a very heavy period (changing my pad every 45 min or wearing adult diapers) 2 times in one month and the cramps are horrible. i went in to to see my dr the second time i experienced the heavy bleeding and she said that this is normal for the first 3-4 months of taking this med. i wish that i had never started this medication. my periods were heavy before the pill and now they are worse than before. at least before the pill i only bled 8 days out of the month."
