"reading the reviews. i&#039;m really jealous of those light period no crampers. i&#039;ve only been taking orysthia for 5 weeks and at first it wasn&#039;t too bad. i noticed significant weight gain during the past 2 weeks and am on my first period on birth control. they are killer. i have never experienced cramps this bad. i get sharp pains in my back, legs, shoulders, and stomach. everyone&#039;s body is different and this pill isn&#039;t working for me."
