"tried lots of different pills after the one i was on was discontinued and nothing worked for me so i stopped trying for about 3 years. when my doctor suggested the pill for acne i said sure why not. this pill is one of the few i don&#039;t have spotting or crazy 3 week periods with. the only downside is that i find my cramps are 10x worse, and i have gained some weight, i&#039;ve especially seen that my breasts have grown. my acne has been a lot better and my periods are more normal although they do last a bit longer, my mood has also been consistent. overall, i have had a good experience and happy to have normal, predictable periods."
