"i have used this pill for the last month, and i just started on my second month. i want to say that i started this pill not on the first day of my period, the reason why i wanted to go on the pill was because my period was irregular. i&#039;ve lost a total of 10 lbs since starting this pill, and i&#039;ve noticed that my appetite is a lot smaller now than it was before. i&#039;ve tried other birth control pills and those always made me eat like a monster, but with this pill, i feel a lot better. the first month is pretty brutal. i had a fever the day after i first started the pill, and then i felt sick with stomach pains for the first couple of weeks, but after the first month, i&#039;m feeling a lot better. note that everyone&#039;s body works differently."
