"like every birth control, my body had to get adjusted to it. at first, i would have irregular periods: some months no period, and some months two periods. after awhile, i barely have periods now. i still have some moodiness on my &quot;off pills,&quot; but i always have moodiness, around my period whether i am on or off birth control. with birth control, it just helps to schedule it, so i go on my &quot;off pills&quot; on a friday, so the worst emotional part can occur over the weekend and this helps me not to be emotional while i&#039;m at work or school. by the time monday comes, i have levelled off a lot. i haven&#039;t experienced acne breakouts from it, which is a bonus. since it has iron in it, i have had my iron levels checked while on it, and they are always good."
