"i started aubra and it had the same dose of estrogen and progestin. i noticed the first weeks i was very emotional. i cry over a lot of things because i&#039;m just naturally a sensitive person but the first two weeks were pretty sad. my period either lasted 5 days with heavy to light bleeding, or a week with moderate bleeding. i never break out, and when i do it&#039;s once every blue moon. as for weight gain.. that&#039;s natural when taking birth control. the first time i gained 10 pounds but i am also an active person and go to the gym daily, so i lost it pretty quickly. i&#039;ve been on aubra for 3 years now. so far no complaints, but definitely i would recommend to give it a little over a month to see if it&#039;s for you."
