"this is the first birth control where i haven&#039;t had spotting or had an allergic reaction to! i just finished my third pack last night, and the week i was supposed to have my period was the best it&#039;s been in a long time. i did cramp a little the first two days, but nothing ibuprofen can&#039;t fix. my period was so light i could get away with just wearing a liner and it only lasted about 2-3 days. this birth control hasn&#039;t helped with my acne at all, but i don&#039;t think it&#039;s necessarily worse which is a good thing. i&#039;ll be going on accutane soon for that anyways. another thing to note is i always take it at exactly the same time everyday with maybe a minute or so to spare, which i&#039;m sure is the reason i&#039;ve had such luck with it!"
