"after a few years of not being on birth control i decided i needed to go back on it because the out of control mood swings and irrationality during pms paired with the completely dibilitating back pain i was experiencing during the first two days of my period were ruining my life. 
month 1: rough. crazy emotions for the first two weeks. i could barely sleep for the first 9 days. my skin and hair got very oily and i got a couple pimples which i never do. my boobs got bigger without weight gain.
month 2 - spotted for 1 day instead of a period but still had pms mood. no back pain. skin and hair a+. no weight gain.
in the months since then i haven&#039;t bled or pms at all but my back pain is starting to come back in waves so i might discontinue."
