OMG! Thank you for this posting website!!! I just stopped taking this crazy pill yesterday. I have had a normal period cycle since I can remember...I'm 26 years old and thought it would be a good idea to get on birth control, and the thought of having less periods was a good idea. I have always had terrible cramps, sometimes I would be in bed a whole day.
Well....ever since I started taking these damn pills I have been cramping for 3 WEEKS! And I've been bleeding (not spotting) but bleeding for 15 days! I dunno about you ladies but tampons are not cheap! I cry in the shower, I flip out on the slightest thing and I will be a raging beeyotch one minute then I will want a hug the next! I have never felt like such a crazy in my life!
I have also developed acne on my arms, my back and forehead! Ladies stop taking this pill. I haven't experienced the hairloss as mentioned in previous posts, I am sorry to the women who have had that experience. I just thought it was a good idea to post something on this topic, I am scared to try any birth control pills now. I will say this....mother nature wanted us to have normal periods and maybe this is what I get for trying to mess with that!
