I did find that my periods seems slightly lighter and I didn't have as much cramping but I was on the POPs after giving birth so there were a number of factors that could have affected things. The thing I loved about the POPs is that they didn't change anything about my usual schedule of periods, they didn't change my mood and things, and they still gave me the security of having BC.

I think most women go with the combination bc pills because of the control over their period and because they estrogen can help some women with so many other health irritations - acne, migranes, cramping... If I didn't have any other reasons but pregnancy prevention then I'd go back to the POPs.
