"i chose this as my first form of birth control when i was 16, i&#039;m now 20. while it was effective and efficient for me, my hormones were through the roof. i was very emotional and cried a lot. i would recommend this for someone who does okay on high dose birth control. i cried/begged for my doc to switch me to a low dose birth control and ended up on the pill. i&#039;m terrible at taking it but still no baby thankfully."
