"first off i&#039;ll start by saying that not everyone is the same so this bc will obviously react differently to different people, buying birth control is simply a game where you have to try them all to find one that truly works how you want. so i&#039;m on my 2nd week of this and so far so good! i&#039;ve had no bleeding, very mild cramps nothing that i can&#039;t handle. my main reason for being on bc is obviously not to get pregnant but i have always had ridiculous periods. most of the time i pass out at least 1 time during my cycle, due to cramps so the cramps i&#039;ve experienced while taking this haven&#039;t been nearly as bad as the ones i&#039;ve experienced so over all super excited about that. packaging is kinda bulky but i have a big purse so no worries!"
