"i told my physician that i had an issue with heavy bleeding and very long periods and this is what she prescribed me. i haven&#039;t been having sex so i honestly don&#039;t know if it prevents it but i can say this is the first bc that hasn&#039;t gave me super bad side affects. i get zero headaches and slight naseous and when i say slight it comes and goes on some days but never stays and nothing i can&#039;t deal with. i can say though i eat a lot. i&#039;m 124 and before started this bc i ate a lot anyways because hey i&#039;m a woman that loves food! it just makes me crave foods more. i also have sore boobs but it&#039;s soreness that isn&#039;t bearable. also, i&#039;m very very emotional. i cry over shows on tv."
