Just be sure you know what alternatives you have. I was given two options. Do your research and trust your doctor, they say the results outweigh the risks so think about that too.

I was on it 3 years and had NO PERIODS... GREAT!! The only thing was that I gained a little weight. Just watch out when starting the pill because you don't know when your period is so skip the sugar wseek to make sure you are coveredm until you get your period back.
