"honestly, i&#039;ve tried many different birth controls that had bad side effects for me such as depression, suicidal thoughts, breakthrough bleeding, longer periods.. but this one has been the only birth-control that i&#039;ve had little to no symptoms with. the only difference is i really didn&#039;t experience breast tenderness with my other birth controls but with this one my breasts are tender &amp; also i&#039;m not quite sure when i&#039;m suppose to start my period; i&#039;m on my third inactive pill and haven&#039;t got it yet. with other birth controls i usually start within the first pill of the inactive or the last active pill. birth control affects every woman different, its never the same for each person."
