"i love love love this form of birth control. i&#039;d been on the pill before and always forgot to take it... not really effective if you don&#039;t take it ha. during the first 3 months, i had not had a period but i was a bit more emotional, it didn&#039;t really interfere with my life but my mood swings were noticeable to me. after those first 3 months, my mood went back to normal but i started spotting really lightly for 2 months. it wasn&#039;t enough spotting for a tampon but it was enough for a panty liner if that puts in into perspective for you. it took me about 8-10 months to get a period again, and now they&#039;re really regular. i haven&#039;t gained any weight, my skin is clearer than ever and i am definitely not pregnant. this stuff is gold."
