Comment:
On my second month of Previfem, its my first time using birth control and it definitely hasnt been the best experience either. My boyfriend and myself have noticed crazy mood swings, one minute I'm fine next I'm completely balling my eyes out. I've gotten very depressed and have gained about 2-3 pounds, nothing dramatic. I've also noticed minor headaches, bad nausea and an increase

Comment:
Effective as in preventing pregnancy. However, a few times has made me bleed the week before my period was even supposed to start.

The week before my period feels pretty much like I'm already on my period due to cramps.
