"i was never able to take &quot;the pill&quot; due to side effects of nausea, headaches and other issues.  i am 41 years old and my gynecologist said to try this one and see and i knew right when i started it that i was not having any issues at all. i do not feel sick or have any headaches. i do not have problem with my a sex drive and my weight is the same.  i have been on it for about 2 years now. i am very happy that this one came out and for me it has been great. i know everyone reacts differently."
