Comment:
I really have enjoyed taking this medication. It never made me moody like past BC pills. I didn't notice weight gain unlike in the past, I even dropped a few pounds. A reason there are so many comments about bleeding is because it is a low dose. It may not be strong enough for some women, but for those of us who don't need it strong it works great!

Comment:
I started taking this for BC and so I could plan my period around my honeymoon. The first 3 months I had breakthrough bleeding for 3 weeks! Now I have it again and have had it for 2 weeks! I've been on it 4 months, its ridiculous. I have awful mood swings, lose my temper even easier, and am an emotional wreck. I was NOT like this before I started this BC and my obgyn said I had to wait till im
