hi Zoey,
i'm sorry i can't give you any answers, i seem to be in the same
predicament as you, i have been prescribed this BCP and the Dr know
nothing about it except that it is a new generation BCP....do you know
the content of this pill or the side effects? I live in Australia, but i
am a bit sceptical that it is not approved in the US....could you please
forward me any info if you get some?
thank you and good luck with the search ! Angie
