"i have been on this pill for about 7 years now. i have loved it! i have not gained any weight from the pill and acne has not been bad at all. my periods normally last around 4 days and they are pretty light. the only problem that i have had on this pill is that it makes more more emotional. if i am just kind of sad about something, i will start crying, etc. but besides the emotional problems (which is not too bad), the pill is awesome!"
