"life changing in a good way. i&#039;m sorry to all of you who had terrible side effects. this is the third pill brand i&#039;ve been on and by far the best. i&#039;m not taking it to prevent pregnancy though. i suffer from terrible pcos that left me sick for over a year. we are talking extreme anemia, constant nonstop heavy bleeding for months on end, fatigue, crippling cramps, weight gain and no sex drive. taking it 4 months now (note i take nothing but continuous active pills to level out my hormone imbalance) and i have experienced zero bad side effects. i&#039;m healthier than i&#039;ve been in years, weight loss, glowing skin, thriving sex drive, no cramps or endless painful periods. it&#039;s been a real lifesaver."
