"i began junel fe 1/20 five days ago and i&#039;ll update this after a couple months of having been on this pill. i&#039;m using it for birth control as well as period regulation. i got my period on a saturday and began taking it the day after. my period was extremely heavy for the first day because i&#039;d taken plan b earlier in the month but immediately after beginning the birth control my period was actually lighter than usual. i&#039;ve never had great skin, and i&#039;ve noticed some increased acne since starting the pill, as well as some depression. i&#039;m going to give my body some time to let my hormone levels balance before i really judge this pill, but those are the effects i&#039;ve seen immediately after beginning it."
