Comment:
I have been on multiple birth controls over the years… this pill was by far the worst. I immediately gained ten pounds, developed cystic acne, experienced a lot of bleeding, vision was blurry, my breast were constantly sore, became depressed and my mood swings were out of control.

My period came every other month only the first few months and now I don't have one at all. I had no weight gain or acne but I also realized along with no sex drive, when I do have sex it is very painful. DEFINITELY s
