"i&#039;ve been on this pill almost 8 months and i have to say, i also have mixed reviews. i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant, so it has proven effective in that sense. i&#039;ve also gained weight, experienced the migraines and nausea others have mentioned, now have lighter periods, and get frequent bacterial vaginosis. it is definitely as bad as it sounds. i&#039;ve also had some trouble with moisture down there during sex. being that my cycle was irregular before, i wanted something to prevent pregnancy but also allows for a monthly menstrual cycle. this was more than i bargained for. i think i&#039;m going to stop taking the pill and look into other options.
