"after trying four other types with horrible side effects, velivet was a welcome improvement. first month was a bit moody and had spotting but after that my very irregular period (weeks off) became regular almost to the hour. i did not gain weight and have minimal decreased appetite. doesn&#039;t seem to have a strong effect on my sex drive either way. almost entirely cleared up my acne outside of a touch right before i get my period. horrible cramps that would me bed ridden are mostly gone. just have moderate cramps for 24 hours after first getting my period. period only lasts 3-4 days now compared to 5-7 before."
