"before i got on this pill i was experiencing extreme extreme cramps to the point where i could not sleep through the night without waking up two times each hour from the pain. i started this pill and have been on it for about a month now and have not got cramps at all! all of my cramps have disappeared! i&#039;m so happy for that. however, spotting did happen all through the first month until i got my normal period. although my period has been way lighter! so far so good, we&#039;ll see how it plays out though."
