"this pill was horrible. always had pimples under my chin and blackheads. my period was only 4 days long but had horrible cramps the first 2 days so bad i almost couldn&#039;t go to work and cramps were never an issue for me. plus i was always moody and tired and sweets made me want to puke. not worth it. the generic pill ran me $69 a month. that is up there when this pill is nothing special. my obgyn and i both agreed the progestin was maybe too high for my system and so she put me back on lutera where i had no side effects and my weight stayed down. but i suddenly started spotting frequently on lutera to the point i needed pantyliners 24-7, so she tried me on this. i would take frequent spotting anyday over this."
