birth control
"I have taken the pill for four months. The first month was almost continuous light bleeding, which wasn't too awful because I was prepared for the first month to be rough. After that everything went pretty well. I did experience a couple of side effects though. I would have two light periods each month. The first one (what my normal period would be) was very light and lasted about three days. The second one would be a little heavier and last about five days. Cramping was very minimal, so that part was good. Aside from this, I did have some minor breakouts, at least compared to how my skin usually is, which may or may not have been a side effect. It wasn't for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't for everyone. Hope this helps."
