"i&#039;m 18 and this is my first hormonal contraceptive i&#039;ve tried, i was pretty scared at first about all the negative side effects - i did experience some intense mood swings and feeling nauseous at night in the first two weeks but i trusted it would go away, and it did. on my fourth month of taking it now and i&#039;m pretty sure i&#039;m fully used to it. my periods are super regular, libido is fine, no dryness, no migraines or weight gain, however i haven&#039;t seen a difference in acne/lighter or shorter periods/period pain but those aren&#039;t problems i needed fixed anyway. pretty happy!! don&#039;t be scared by the side effects, if you go into it with a positive mindset you&#039;ll be right... and it&#039;s super worth it once your body gets used to it :)"
