Nice to stop menstruation but in no way worth it for the awful psychological impacts. Mental breakdowns were indeed had.

Absolutely legendary pill, I’ve been on a few others this one by far is the best. Haven’t had any changes in my emotions and most importantly not pregnant! And I really do push that to the test weekly. I was A cup before taking and now I’m pushing B cup so for me that’s great
