"i haven&#039;t taken any birth control at all for almost two years since having my baby and i was prescribed trinessa 3 months ago by my midwife. periods are short and it has cleared up my skin so much which is awesome, however the bloating is terrible. i have always been a thin person and have never had any weight issues but my stomach is so fat and bloated it looks like i&#039;m 2-3 months pregnant. decreased libido is the other negative side effect that i am experiencing as well."
