"this is the first birth control method i have ever used. i&#039;m 18.  i have been on it for a little over 7 months. i absolutely love it. let me just start with the pros: breasts got more firm. my skin actually became more clean. (i&#039;ve always had clear skin) but this helped even more. the only negative side effects i would say is that you sometimes may experience mood swings. i have  a short temper so that could also be my fault. this pill does not make you gain weight.  it only makes you hungrier than usual. i highly recommend this pill for all women. i love it!"
