Yes, it happens to my girlfriend. something to do with her body and the amount of estrogen in the pills.

But ladies, I will say this, I had a scare about 1 year ago. I didn't have my cycle for 6 months. Didn't know what was wrong with me. thought it was the food, work stress, just stress period. Went to the OBGYN and they ran every test possible and still nothing. They pricked, poked, snipped and cut me to pieces, and still found nothing.

For what ever reason, my body went on strike. But it wasn't good for me. I had so much estrogen built up in my it was dangerous for my health. I HAD to get on bc just to kick start it and now it's free flowing..so..on second thought..I'm not so sure about only having a cycle 4 times a year. kinda scary.

I agree..we need more information on this pill.
