"i&#039;ve been on this pill for about 5 years now and i have to say it is amazing.  one thing i will note is that before i first started using birth control i had very regular periods, i strictly went on the pill for extra protection when i went into college.  after starting the pill my periods became less heavy, and they became some what irregular as the years went on.  the first year on the pill i would have a very very light period each month but as the years went on i would get my period every 2-3 months.  as of now this is the 5th month that i have not got my period, i am not pregnant but it is very odd to go this long without a period.  most woman would like that but i like knowing that i would get my period every month or so."
