"it took 2-3 months for everything to regulate, but now that i&#039;ve been on it for almost a year, i love it. my cramps aren&#039;t as bad, bleeding is much lighter than it used to be, hormones are 1,000 times more steady, and best of all: only 4 periods per year! only drawback is that i get random menstrual-like cramps, but they&#039;re very light, don&#039;t even need to take ibuprofen, it&#039;s more of a small annoyance than anything. i haven&#039;t gained weight, but my face has broken out some over the past 1-2 months; it didn&#039;t for the longest time so i&#039;m not sure whether there&#039;s a correlation to the beyaz or not. i take it at night, because if i take any kind of birth control in the morning i feel extremely dizzy/nauseous all day. overall an awesome choice!"
