"i&#039;m 21, i&#039;ve been on this pill for about 5 months now and it&#039;s been terrible. i got on this pill because i wouldn&#039;t get a period for about 4 or 5 months and when i finally got my period it was super heavy and cramps were unbearable. i now get a period every month and they are light, last 4-5 days, but i still get intense cramping. i also have dark brown spotting every month probably a week after my period and that lasts another week. but this month i have been spotting none stop and waking up with cramps everyday. ever since i started it i have also had the worst mood swings, crying at everything, been pushing my boyfriend away and it&#039;s been effecting our relationship badly, 0 sex drive and severe depression and making my anxiety worse."
