"i was on this birth control pill for 10-11 months. it caused me to have periods during week 2 of the pills, vaginal dryness!, a lot of hair loss &amp; breakage, really bad embarrassing acne, weight gain, bloating, constant infections, pms symptoms, etc. i kept going to my obgyn thinking i had cancer or something was broken. she told me to keep taking them. no way. i quit taking them 2 weeks ago and i feel better already. i&#039;m just afraid it might&#039;ve done some fertility damage. time to find a new obgyn and stay off of birth control pills because the side effects aren&#039;t worth it! just will track my ovulation &amp; avoid sex on those days. it&#039;s sad obgyns tell you to stay on pills with all these negative side effects, they don&#039;t truly care."
