"i have been on this pill for 4 months. before this, i was on lo loestrin fe for a month but it was making me bleed non stop. in the beginning, this pill was amazing. i had pretty much no side effects initially. but just this past month, i started spotting on the 3rd week of active pills. then, i started breaking out in cystic acne all over my chin and cheeks. then, i started getting moody and uncontrollably sad. then, when my period started, i was in extreme pain. cramps that would not ease with any pain reliever or even a heating pad. it was so bad. switching pills next month, couldn&#039;t be happier."
