Experience
I have had no contraception for years and my body obviously didn’t agree with this pill. Only took it for a month and had to stop because changed my thoughts, moods and emotions too much. Also messed up my periods. I used to have a period that lasted 3 days. When I took these pills the period lasted 8 whole days, heavy too. Breasts were tender.
