"I've always had irregular periods, ever since I started. I was sent to the ER twice for severe anemia and heavy bleeding. That led me to have a total of 10 blood transfusions. It was a complete nightmare, and I couldn't allow that to happen anymore. So the doctors put me on Necon 1/50. This is my first time ever being on birth control, I was scared... reading about terrible stories and all the side effects. I was very hesitant, but I did it, and I'm so glad I did!! I'm currently on week 3 and have no side effects!! Well, the classic PMS, but nothing severe. Waiting on period week to make a full assessment, but so far so good. Will continue this pack and plan on lowering the dose next month."

"I was bleeding heavily for 3 months straight. I would be off my period a week, then 3 more months of bleeding. This went on for over a year while I tried just about every other type of BC pill. Also, extreme nausea causing bad weight loss and severe abdominal pain. On this pill, my period lasts 5 days once a month and is much lighter. Cramps are much better. Nausea was worse at first but went away after about a week. No crazy mood swings. I'm back up to a healthy weight. The only bad thing is it made me exhausted, especially when I first started taking it. I would literally sleep 15 hours a day if off work. Wouldn't even get up to eat. It has eased up a lot but still not back to normal energy."
