"generess fe is my very first birth control, and i&#039;m in the middle of my second pack. i can say it&#039;s a good medication. although the side effects are pretty noticeable. i get extremely sensitive, sad, big cry baby for stupid reasons. breast tenderness,  a lot of spotting on the 1st month. i was feeling a little more thick lately, i asked my boyfriend and he said i had gained a little bit of weight. and looking back i have been eating a lot of junk so it increases your appetite. your period becomes light. my first period lasted 3 days. and before the birth control i had a crazy heavy period. so it might feel scary if you used to have a crazy period and suddenly really light, but you&#039;re fine. that&#039;s how it works. and i&#039;m baby free!"
