"i have been on many different birth controls. all of them have caused me to become nauseous, moody, etc. apri is the first one i&#039;ve used that i have not experienced any of that with. it has helped regulate my periods and made the cramping less severe. my boobs grew a little and i didn&#039;t gain any weight. the only downside is if you miss a pill, you will bleed a lot and cramp, etc. but i&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s like that with any birth control. definitely worth trying."
