"i started this birth control when i was 18 and have been on it for about 8 months now once i first started it i was so nauseous and had horrible headaches. when it came time for me to get my period i missed it, then it came the next month with the worst cramps i have ever experienced. my face is kind of acne prone and it cleared up a little bit but not a whole lot. i&#039;ve gained about 15 pounds and after i take the pill i get so hungry. my periods are about the same i&#039;m just a little bit lighter and it&#039;s like a day shorted but my period does come exactly 28 days from my first day. i experience really bad cramps like going to the er cramps and they got a little better but not like to the point where i have no cramps. i guess it&#039;s alright."
