"i have been on this birth control for almost 2 years now. it has worked wonders even though i did gain 30 lbs mainly because of the way that i eat. my acne has cleared a lot and it works definitely for birth control. i am active a lot and not pregnant. i&#039;m also moody at times but i don&#039;t want to switch pills because i feel no side affects. light periods as well and always on time."
