"i&#039;m not sure why this is rated so badly! i love this birth control. i&#039;ve had no problems with my mood and i have been on it for about a year. 2 months after taking it i stopped getting my period. i looked it up and it says that this pill does tend to make your period much lighter and shorter. i had a pretty light period to begin with so this could be the cause. anyway, no problems with this pill at all!"
