"i was on birth control for about 15 years and decided to stop to give my body a break.  i got pregnant during that time and i started taking this birth control after i had my baby.  i&#039;ve been on it about  5 months now.  so far, the only good things is it has kept me from getting pregnant and cleared up my skin.  the bad things....it has made me gain some weight, i now start to get my period before my pills are done, i feel like i am sweatier and it has given me large painful cysts under my right armpit.  i am debating whether or not to get off of this pill or give it a little bit more time."
