11. No migraines, no periods, no fibroid tumors, no stomach or leg pain...

seriously I consider my BC a magic miracle.

Without it I would have a migraine for a week every month, which either requires taking more costly medicine or calling in to work.
I take Lybrel so I get no periods at all... the magic part.
All 9 of my sisters have had issues with fibroid tumors, hysterectomies, the whole thing. I am the only one who is totally fine! I am the only one who has taken BC consistently for many years.
When I was younger my legs used to feel like lead during a period, since I don't get periods no more anchor legs.

I have paid up to 75 bucks a month for my pill, well worth it, but to think about all the money it saves my insurance from having to cover all those other things I would have without it I think they damn well should cover it.

I pay 48 bucks now because it went generic (Amethyst) so pretty soon I will be saving roughly 600 bucks a year... Thanks Obama
