"this is the first birth control i have tried, and so far i love it. i&#039;m heading into my third week being on this pill and so far i have experienced very minimal side effects, something i did not expect after reading such horror stories about this pill and others similar to it. i have had no spotting yet (fingers crossed this continues). the most noticeable side effect thus far has been breast tenderness. its not unbearable-and usually an advil helps-but they&#039;re definitely more sore than usually. this tends to vary by day as well. i haven&#039;t noticed any severe change in my mood, maybe a little more sensitive than normal, and definitely no change in my sex drive. i am loving this pill so far! hopefully these side effects continue to be minimal."
