"i&#039;m 20 and this is my first birth control. i got it to control my acne and to prevent pregnancy. the very first day i took it i felt horribly nauseous but thankfully it went away and hasn&#039;t come back since. my complaint is the cramping! i basically cramp everyday or every other day. the pain is on the outside &quot;lady bit&quot; region too. so far this is the only side effect for me. my sex drive is the same, still waiting for acne control, and i haven&#039;t experienced increased discharge. i&#039;m on my first month and only have been on it for two weeks. so hopefully the cramps stop and my acne calms down."
