abnormal uterine bleeding
"I've been on Necon 1/35 since 2006 without a break. Prior to this, I was on a different pill, preceded by the patch. It was a savior for me. My periods had been still so bad, that my doctor was on her last straw. If this pill didn't work, I was getting the shot. I would bleed through EVERYTHING despite having been on BC for a few years to treat my menstrual issues. With Necon, I've never had a single bad side effect in the 9+ years I've been on it, and my periods to this day really only last 24-36 hours, and then it's basically just spotting for 12-24 hours thereafter. The only reason I'm switching to another form of BC is because I'm tired of having to think about taking it every day."
