"about to finish my third week. started the pill on the first day of my period, so my period lasted a little longer than usual. i take it at night before bed to minimize the side effects. it did cause me to wake up a little nauseous a couple nights and i did get a couple of zits over the last couple of weeks. i usually just get one zit the week before my period to let me know its around the corner. i haven&#039;t really noticed any other side effects. i am a little bloated but i think its because my period is around the corner. all and all the first few weeks have been surprisingly tolerable. i was scared at first but it seems like this may just work out for me. i will update during my second month to keep you all posted."
