It gave me bad headaches, and I am pretty sure it made me gain weight. As soon as I went off of it I lost a bunch of weight. Google it and read some of the message forums. Unless it has changed in the last six years, then I wouldn't recommend it. Then again, some people may have a different experience. It may depend on the person. I have the Mirena IUD and I love it. I never have to remember to take a pill. I am not sure if this would be an option for your problem though. I have very very light periods if any. That is supposed to be normal though.
