Comment:
I was terrified after reading all of the negative reviews!!!!! But I just finished month 3 and I have experienced absolutely no negative side effects. I even made sure to ask my boyfriend to help me watch out for any moodiness or mood swings and he hasn’t noticed a difference either. I guess the only negative thing I have to say (and it’s really not much of a negative) is that my OBGYN swore my ac

I'm very diligent about taking it every day and at the same time everyday, but I have spotting several days before I start the inactive pills, then once my period actually starts, it lasts for two weeks.
