"i started this pill 8 months ago.  i got my period horribly the first month, maybe even the worst i&#039;ve ever had it.  it was heavy, painful, and i gained 6 pounds in water weight.  since then i have not gotten my period once.  i will get some period symptoms around the time i would get my period and some discharge but no period, which is great for me.  i have been on probably more than 5 birth control pills before this and this by far is the best.  i&#039;ve lost 10 pounds, no acne, and no depression which is the main reason i switched.  the only negative about this pill is the crazy high price.  great pill!"
