I love being able to control when I can start my period but my low to no sex drive isn’t for me. My cramping is just as bad (if not worse) than before going on it (the whole reason my gyn prescribed it) but I also now have more clots and dark blood on my period. I can tell my hormones are more regulated though and that’s been good for me mental health most days.

I was on this birth control for 10 years until I got a blood clot and had to be on blood thinners for a month. Not fun.

Very easy to use. Periods were heavy at first but very light on last days. Main problem was discharge. Caused a increase in my migraines
