"about to start my fourth pack and i love this birth control. i took birth control (cyclessa and yaz and some others i don&#039;t remember) in my early 20s and gained a bunch of weight and had a diminished sex drive. once i stopped taking it i swore i never would again but my skin got really bad in the last few years so i finally, reluctantly, decided to try again. i have virtually no side effects from this pill. my mood hasn&#039;t changed, i haven&#039;t gained weight (although i went from a c cup to a d cup) and, for the first time in years, my skin is clear. i had spotting the first two months i took it but that&#039;s gone away and now my period is super light."
