"i have been on this medication since august when i had to get my mirena iud removed. i had never been on the pill before this so i was nervous about its effectiveness, but it has been wonderful so far! i have had no weight gain, no acne, no crazy mood swings... i have had my period regularly when i was supposed to on the white/brown pills. last month i didn&#039;t get my period for the first two white pills and got very worried, but i had a very light period on the two brown pill days. i have slight breast tenderness sometimes, but nothing major. it is great that it is such a low dose of estrogen, which significantly lowers the risk of blood clots.i would highly recommend this medication to anyone looking for a great birth control."
