"i am 22 and i have been on this pill for about 5 months. i was on yasmin/ocella for about 4 1/2 years and i loved that  birth control! but i started to get ovarian cysts, which is common after taking a birth control for that amount of time. since i&#039;ve been on loestrin, i have hated life! as of right now, i&#039;ve been on my period for 3 weeks. i can&#039;t seem to lose weight after eating healthy and going to the gym 7 days a week.  my mood is horrible.  i am about to start sprintec, although reviews for sprintec aren&#039;t much better than this one. every birth control reacts differently with every woman."
