"i am on my first pack, one and a half weeks before my placebo week. i had dark brown spotting for three weeks, starting the second month. it has progressed into a period. i&#039;m going to do one more pack to see if anything changes, but this is a horrible side effect. i chose jolessa because i&#039;m a newly wed and i didn&#039;t want as many periods. in addition to the spotting, my sex desire doesn&#039;t exist. this is very challenging, as my breasts have grown significantly and my husband like breasts. on a positive note, i didn&#039;t get pregnant while i was able to have sex. that&#039;s wonderful. now, i can&#039;t get pregnant because i&#039;m not having sex. thanks jolessa."
