"i can&#039;t rate this a 10, because nothing works perfectly. but this is the best birth control that i have been on this far. i am 26 years old and i have been on 2 birth control pills previously that had not worked out nearly as well as cryselle. i developed as i was taking the other birth control pills, many ovarian cysts which led to spotting and constant pain. i also rarely got my period, even while taking the placebo pills. my doctor switched me to this and i regularly get a period now and have little to no pain. for me, this is the best thing that has happened to me."
