"i was terrified of starting birth control due to the horror stories i had heard from other women in the past. i am a small person, and due to this, i had very irregular periods. i would suffer from premenstrual syndrome for weeks on end before my period would actually start. most times, i would have to take a progestin supplement to actually get my period. this started happening more and more often and started really affecting my life. i spoke to my doctor and she put me on cryselle. this has changed my life. it&#039;s been 3 and 1/2 months and i have had no side effects, no weight gain and my period is regular/short every month. it&#039;s given me the positive change i needed so badly!"
