"i really like this birth control. when i&#039;m not on birth control i have extremely painful menstrual cramps, very heavy periods, and crazy hormonal acne breakouts. it took about 2 and a half months to see any improvements, but my face is almost always completely clear, i have much lighter cramps, and a much lighter flow. i did feel a little nauseous for the 1st couple days, but i had no weight gain and no other adverse health or psychological complaints. the only other complaint i could state would be that within a week of taking the pill, my sex drive was almost completely gone. the main reason i am staying on the birth control is for the acne treatment! it is something i have been struggling with for years and i am so happy with the results"
