Comment:
My first pill pack (3 months) was perfect - no negative side effects. My breasts actually grew a cup size, my skin is clear, and I lost weight. Now in pack 2, month 5 and I have been bleeding for about a month straight. Some days very light, some days requiring a tampon or two throughout the day.

Comment:
First 3 months of taking the pill were fine. This last month has been 3 weeks of bleeding already - not just spotting. I'm on my 2nd day without the pill and the bleeding is almost gone.

Comment:
I started Lybrel as the first kind of pill I had ever used about 2 years ago. I have always had irregular periods, so no periods was very appealing to me. Unfortunately I never really stopped bleeding all together, and now, I sort of bleed a tiny bit most of the time. I was moody and would cry for no reason for about the first two months, but ever since then I have had no bad side effects at all.

Comment:
I LOVE this pill. I was on Yasime prior and would "back-up" my pill for months. During the first 6 months I would get random spotting, nothing to heavy, but for the past year I have not had a period at all and it is wonderful. I have not experience mood swings, cramping, bleeding. I did experience some weight gain (about 10 lbs) and I find my breasts are a bit "lumpier" at
