"been on this pill for about 6 months.  went on it for two reasons:
1) irregular/missed periods
2) contraception purposes

it has been very effective in regulating my periods.  i get them on the third placebo pill, every month, like clockwork.  they use to be horribly painful, and i now only get occasional moderate or light cramping, with much lighter and shorter periods (3-4 days).

so far so good as a contraceptive.  i am in a monogamous relationship, and therefore this is my only means of protection.  the only issue i&#039;ve had is that it caused some nausea, particularly when i haven&#039;t been right on time with it (few hours late or something).  overall, a very good pill."
