Going off birth control was a totally overrated idea. Tmi.

My husband got snipped in '03, so I decided to let my body experience the processes it was naturally inclined to (for five years). What a frickin' dumb idea.
Psychotic PMS. Two-week-long periods. Non-stop cramps.
I went to the Dr. last month and got one of the pills that allows every-three-month periods. It rocks. I have no side effects, except that (BONUS!!!) my boobs appear to be perpetually swollen up. No, I'm not posting pics.
I realize the pill isn't for everyone, but I am LOVING it!
Just a PSA from a very happy woman.

1. I love being on it

Monophasic so no mood swings, no period (it has tapered off to about 2 days every 3 months, yippee!!), and very few, if any, noticable side effects.

2. Good to hear!

I don't know anyone else who's been on it, so I'm glad to know it's worked well for you.

I got a generic version and my insurance pays for the whole prescription, so I'm very happy!
