User Comments about Zovia

13 Sep 2011	it is a successful birth control pill. I never had a pregnancy scare, even when my husband and I stopped using condoms. the only reason I switched was because I did not want my body to become immune to it. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
