"my doctor put me on this medicine for dysmenorrhea. i love this birth control pill. i have never had any bad side effects from it, no acne, no mood swings. i only have light bleeding/no bleeding and cramping when i do have my periods, which only last 2-4 days. but the best part, no weight gain. i have actually lost 30lbs since i have been on it. i really love this pill and would not go to any other birth control pill."
