"i was on marvelon for 10 years until my benefits plan changed and it only covered generic brands of the birth control pill. when my pharmacist informed me i questioned him profusely asking if it was the same marvelon. while i was on marvelon for 10
years i had no side effects/felt great on it. as soon as i started taking apris i became  moody, irritable and very very gassy. it almost felt like i was pregnant.  as soon as i started researching apris vs marvelon i discovered all the poor reviews. i then decided to pay out of pocket to go back on marvelon the next month because i hated feeling horrible. i went back on marvelon but what happened next was a blessing in disguise. i became pregnant with my 2nd.  apris messed up my system."
