"i&#039;m 18 years old and this is my first birth control pill. i&#039;m taking it for a number of reasons, mainly that my period has been irregular for years, my acne is terrible and i&#039;m just trying to be safe and smart. i really like this pill! it&#039;s been extremely unobtrusive to my life. originally i had trouble remembering to take the pill on time but now i have an alarm on my phone and it&#039;s helping. as far as side effects, i&#039;ve only had a little tenderness in my breasts and a slight increase in my appetite, but this may just be from stress. i&#039;ve just now finished my first pack and i&#039;m extremely happy with it. i haven&#039;t noticed any change in my acne, but i hope it will help soon. overall, highly recommended!"
