"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for a month and a half. it&#039;s the first time i&#039;ve been on the pill. i&#039;m someone who usually gets sick easily so i was expecting to have every negative symptom imaginable after starting this birth control. the first week i only noticed that i felt nauseous and after that my body got used to it. negative effects that i had were uncomfortable cramping the week before and after i took the inactive pills, a period that lasted 8 1/2 days, and bad clotting during my period. i&#039;ve actually lost about ten pounds since taking this pill. i&#039;m not sure if this is related or not, but i&#039;ve been a little restless during sleep and have mild headaches more often. there hasn&#039;t been any change in my sex drive at all."
