"i experienced a lot of weight gain, but the worst side effect has been dry skin on my face and i have never had skin problems. i have also experienced some headaches but i am going to actually take the brown pill this month. i have a missed period one month and then the next month i get my period 2 times in one cycle. but it&#039;s working the best out of all the birth controls that i have used. (i use birth control for hormone headaches)"
