Combination birth control pill  
•  Stopped using

It’s been years since I used birth control because I’m in my 70 s. At the time I was satisfied because I didn’t want to get pregnant again except that the one time I did get pregnant I had an abortion and I regret that very much

Terrible, severe depression within a few days of use. Have not experienced mood swings that bad before or since. At least the packaging is cute?
