"i love apri! i took it for a year, then i got selfish and switched to jolessa because i wanted to have fewer periods. on jolessa i had week-long or longer, super irregular periods. i would get breakthrough bleeding at the most random times and gained about 15 pounds. it almost destroyed my relationship, i was so moody and depressed. i switched back to apri in january and already my periods are back to regular, predictable and short. i have had almost no breakthrough bleeding, no weight gain and no problem with weight gain. it&#039;s an incredibly effective and beneficial pill."
