Comment:
After taking Previfem for only one month, I spotted the entire week before I was supposed to get my period, and actually started bleeding heavily several days early, now I am currently on day 9 of my period and it is still heavy with no sign of stopping, and I'm not due to stop the placebos for another 2 days. I don't think I will be starting another month, though.

Just finished my 1st month of Previfem. This is my first time taking birth control and after reading reviews about pretty much every brand I decided to trust my dr's opinion on Previfem (Ortho Cyclen 28 generic) and glad I did. Before I took birth control I would get hormonal occular migranes (migranes with auras/vision fades). The first week of taking this pill I had 4 of these occular migran

Comment:
I have currently been on previfem for over a year and it has worked wonderfully! I have had no problems at all and have not gained any weight. After around 3 months I noticed a drastic improvement in acne and even stopped using my prescription topical cream because the previfem has cleared my acne so wonderfully! My period has been very predictable while cramps are always at a minimum if I even ge
