birth control
"This was my favorite pill for almost 20 years. Little to no side effects (with the exception of a little nausea for the first pack or two).  My skin always looked radiant, my periods were super-duper light every month, no cramping, and I never once had a pregnancy scare. Only reason I am switching is because I am now in my 40's and am starting on a 20mcg dose pill.  Would love to stay on it, but lower estrogen doses are considered safer for those over 40.  For younger women who have issues with painful or heavy periods, acne, or who just need highly effective birth control, I highly recommend this pill.  It is available as a generic as well (Necon 777) which seems to work just the same."
