"been on this pill for over two years now. i originally went on to control heavy periods, acne and immobilizing cramps. the first three months i didn&#039;t get a period at all, even with taking the sugar pills. this scared me, but my doctor told me it&#039;s perfectly healthy and i have since stopped taking the sugar pills all together. i&#039;ve always struggled with my weight, but i didn&#039;t have more than maybe a few pounds weight gain when i started taking it. i&#039;ve recently become sexually active and think that the pill might be slightly interfering with my sex drive (seeing as it&#039;s not very high), but don&#039;t know that as a fact. overall i&#039;m very happy with all this pill and plan to continue taking it."
