"well this is my first time on birth control and it wasn&#039;t that bad. i just finished my first month. the first week i was on it i was extremely moody i cried alot.then i noticed that the nice person i was during my normal period cycle was spreading itself through out my regular life. i experience no weight gain, no bloating, hardly any  cramps (which is the only reason i even got on the pill) and my period was super light"
