"I had high hopes for this pill... I had tried Alesse and it had made no difference to my very heavy periods, so I changed to Portia. The good side was that I didn't have any mood issues (which I seemed to have with Alesse) but the down side was it didn't help at all with my problem. My periods got heavier, lasting 10 days, with 3-4 days each time when I'd have to get up every 2hrs through the night. I also got really bad cramps and pain, and huge clots. Not pleasant. 

I did take it for 3 months straight when I had some events on, and had no problems, no spotting or anything. Shame it didn't do anything else to help! Have now switched to Minestrin, we'll see how that goes..."
