"I have been on birth control for a year and a half now. The pharmacy switched what brand they gave me, and even though it had the 'same ingredients,' it’s like you’re starting a whole new pill, so your body has to adjust all over again. I'm on month 6 of taking this one, and I'm consistently having breakthrough bleeding the week before my placebo pill week, so I'm bleeding for two weeks every month. I'm about to go off of it the beginning of September anyway, so I'm just pushing through, but if I have to take one in the future, I will 100% be asking for a different pill. I've had no other side effects except that which is great, but the extra bleeding and the dull cramps that stick around those two weeks are annoying."
