"i just recently finished my first pack of ocella and i don&#039;t have many things to complain about except the cramps during my period!!! they were deadly &amp; so uncomfortable. my period was heavy also. but i&#039;m on it to regulate my period. i haven&#039;t gained any weight but i&#039;ve been noticing pimples popping up and i&#039;ve never had this problem before i&#039;m not sure if my hormones aren&#039;t used to it yet but the acne sucks &amp; my breast have been tender also. but overall it&#039;s a pretty good birth control method."
