My roommate and I are on the same pill. I find I have much lighter periods and less cramping, but I get a lot of spotting. I've heard that lower-carb diets like atkins/south beach/etc. can cause the breakthrough bleeding, so that's a possibility.
I take my pill at night, I have an alarm watch set for midnight. I used to take it at 10 but I noticed I was having foul moods (crying and depression mainly, not quite suicidal but almost) an hour or two after taking the pill. So I moved it to later so I would be asleep when the mood kicked in ;-)
The roommate uses condoms during the third week of the active pills, because she's had relatives get pregnant while on the pill.
I asked to be put on the pill because I have very irregular periods due to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and it was disconcerting to have to stress about being late - even though the polycystic thing is a pretty common cause for INfertility.
This is my first post, by the way... looks like a nice place you got here. ;-)
