menstrual disorders
"Been on it for two years. I was first put on it for both birth control reasons and to lessen heavy, long (5-7 day), painful periods. First couple months were hard - mood swings (crying, unreasonable anger) and my libido was no where to be found. Stayed on it and it got a lot better. No weight gain, and it is absolutely possible to lose weight on it (doesn't cause you to plateau). I have unprotected sex on this pill with my long-term partner, no pregnancies or complications, period always comes at the same time every month with a light steady flow (2-5 days). Less cramps, bloating, and blood. Sex drive is fine now. As long as I take it at the exact same time each day, it works without issue."
