"during the first month i took it, it made my period a lot lighter. however, it also made me a lot heavier. i gained 12-ish pounds while taking this, and i had crazy mood swings and emotional instability. i would cry for no reason and i was always slightly hungrier than i should be. my breasts have been sore during the entire duration of using this medicine. also, i missed one pill and have been on my period for twenty-one days and counting."
