Jolivette side effects

Update to my previous blog...I stopped taking Jolivette on Sunday, September 7th after having begun bleeding (again). I had enough of this and was wondering if Jolivette was the cause. By Tuesday evening my bleeding had stopped. I was sick and tired of spending more time "having a period" than not having one. I thought it was supposed to help make my periods lighter, and perhaps it did (but only slightly), except when you bleed constantly for many consecutive days, who can tell? I did exactly as instructed and took my pill regularly, at the same time each day. I even set the alarm clock on my cell phone as a reminder. Jolivette didn't work for me so I will be looking into other options.

Irregular periods; bleeding that lasts more than 8 days. For example, my most recent "period" lasted 8 days! I had 4 days of no bleeding, then began bleeding regularly for the next 3 days (and still bleeding). I began using Jolivette to help control my periods due to multiple fibroids but so far I've been bleeding more often than not. I'm not sure if I need to continue taking it for the side effects to lessen, but I'm seriously considering stopping it. I can't take anything with estrogen so my options are very limited.

I have had extreme weight gain as well.

No period for 3 months. Not sexually active. Is this normal?
