I have been taking this pill for about 2 years now and have had many of the symptoms you are all describing. If you miss it for one day, you start to bleed. If you are on any other meds (I am on thyroid medication), you may have adverse side effects. After reading all of these posts and experiencing these issues for so long (My doctor told me that it was because I wasn't taking the pill at the same time every day), I am finally going to try something else. I think it's b.s. that you start bleeding after missing one pill or are off an hour in taking it. Any suggestions for other birth control that others are happy with?
